The Mendocino County Board of Supervisors has authorized the Wildlife Ad Hoc Committee, consisting of Supervisors Dan Gjerde and John Haschak, to work with county staff to bring back options for a strictly non-lethal wildlife management service in Mendocino County. The non-lethal service would be a supplemental option to the recently approved Integrated Wildlife Damage Management Program, which has lethal options for killing animals. The organization called A Wildlife Exclusion Service, which was created by Sonoma County Wildlife Rescue, would likely provide the non-lethal animal program services.

We reached out to you this summer asking for your help in urging Mendocino County to permanently terminate its contract with the USDA Wildlife Services, which has trapped, shot, and killed hundreds of bears, bobcats, coyotes, foxes, mountain lions and other wildlife in Mendocino – and inadvertently killed non-target species, including imperiled wildlife and beloved pets. The County has been using taxpayer dollars to pay for their lethal wildlife management program, often on behalf of commercial agricultural interests.
