They needed to prove they are a legitimate law enforcement agency.
And maybe a grizz.
They should add politicians to the list of public pests.

(That's a lot of Brunswick Stew.)
The federal government could make a lot of money by “selling” most of these kills to hunters. Let hunters pay for a license to kill nuisance wildlife. It’ll bring in money and allow the feds to reduce the size of their “Wildlife Services” department.
Yes!
I’d pay a lot of money to add a couple “Politician” tags to my hunting license.
Here, a decrease of 33% killed animals is a bad thing.
(4 million in ‘13 vs. 2.7 million killed in ‘14)
If first time unemployment applications rise by 33%, it is a sure sign of of a “robust economy” and that the unemployment rate should be decreased.

School lunch program ‘mystery meat’?
They may have killed 1,000 Elk in Rock Mountain National Park. The can’t sell extra Elk licenses and let them be eaten they had to incinerate them.
LOL!
Love that tag line (and it has nothing to do with the subject of the thread lolz!)
Do you mind if I use it kiryandil?
... Wildlife Services reveals it killed more than 2.7 million animals...
It then says:
The data show that the federal program has refused to substantially slow its killing...
What? 1.3 million reduction, or about 32%, sounds like a healthy decrease in just one year.
The program also killed 15,698 black-tailed prairie dogs and destroyed more than 33,309 of their dens.
Of course, their dens are a real pain for cattlemen trying to raise livestock to feed this country, but, hey, we don't need food, do we?
...other animals that deserve far better.
Deserve? Probably one of the most over-worked words in TV and other advertising. What did they animals do to "deserve" better? Deserve means to "perform or doing something worthy of reward". To me, this is like saying deadbeats deserve free a cell phone from productive members of society.
...a growing public outcry...
Really? I must have missed it. Seems to me there are bigger fish to fry...so to speak.
This appalling and completely unnecessary extermination of American wildlife must stop.
Because? To me, this person is making it sound like the Wildlife service has nothing better to do than go out and randomly kill animals. My guess is that there is a reason and you have marshaled no facts about those reasons. A cogent argument requires presenting both sides of the issue(s) and then logically showing why the other side is wrong. You may actually be right, but this hand-wringing, emotional, harangue is not the right approach.
There’s a place for all of God’s creatures, right between the mashed potatoes and the biscuits.
The prisons should be well stocked with meat.
That's a little more than two dens per prairie dog.
If these animals could each afford more than one den, then they were probably members of the prairie dog elite, the "1%", and they deserved to be killed...
I’m with you. Dismiss 3/4 of the people working for the Federal Wildlife Program, and let the farmers and hunters weed out the animals instead.
I thought it was “...and a cartridge in a bare tree”
