Dirtbags. Rogue Wildlife-killing Program Wins 2014 Rubber Dodo Award TUCSON, Ariz.— The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Wildlife Services, which has dramatically ramped up its notorious wildlife-killing campaign across the United States, is the recipient of the Center for Biological Diversity’s 2014 Rubber Dodo Award, given annually to those who have done the most to drive species extinct. The program killed more than 2 million native animals in 2013, a 30 percent increase over the previous year. The tally of the dead included 320 gray wolves, 75,000 coyotes, 419 black bears and scores of other animals. “No other government program does more every day to annihilate America’s wildlife than Wildlife Services,” said Kierán Suckling, the Center’s executive director. “This rogue program does much of its dirty work far from the public’s view, so millions of animals disappear from our landscapes every year with little accountability.” biologicaldiversity.org/news/press_releases/2014/rubber-dodo-10-31-2014.html
