Summary Statements About Wildlife Services Activities
The number of animals encountered by Wildlife Services in any given year is a function of many different factors, including wildlife populations’ size and distribution, the extent to which animals are involved in damage situations, and the extent to which the public requests WS assistance in handling these challenges.
