MEDIA RELEASE: Wildlife advocates declare victory for wildlife in Mendocino County

Ukiah, CA — Today, wildlife advocates declared victory when the Mendocino Board of Supervisors voted to terminate their contract with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Wildlife Services program. Mendocino County, like most western counties, contracted with the federal program to kill native wild animals largely at the behest of ranchers and farmers. This victory comes after nearly a decade of attempts to hold Wildlife Services accountable to the public that funds their lethal activities in the county.
