The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) recognize that native animals are resources of value and interest to the American people. Animal damage control (ADC) management may be required to minimize depredations to livestock and wildlife species; to protect threatened and endangered species; to maintain viable populations of native wildlife species; to preserve ecologically unique areas; to minimize rodent and other wildlife damage to cropland, grassland, and forestland; and, to suppress animal-borne diseases. ADC functions as a supplement to, not a substitute for, standard husbandry practices and techniques ... APHIS' ADC program policy is to provide assistance in resolving conflicts between wildlife and man in order to alleviate economic agricultural damage, minimize economic losses, and protect human health and safety. Integrated control method approaches, used or recommended include mechanical control, habitat manipulation, chemical, and cultural methods which take into consideration the impact on other wildlife and such factors as economic, social, environmental, political, and administrative considerations.
