Lets livestock producers protect their animals by taking black vultures that threaten them.
This bill would let livestock producers and their employees take black vultures that are harming or threatening their animals. This would allow them to act without a federal permit, overriding existing bird protection laws. However, they would need to report any actions taken and could not use poison.
Today, black vultures are protected by federal law, and livestock producers generally need a federal permit to take them, even if they are harming livestock. If this bill becomes law, livestock producers and their employees would be allowed to take black vultures that are causing or are expected to cause harm to their animals, without needing a special permit. They would, however, be required to report these actions annually and could not use poison.
