For nine years, New Mexican Pat Wolff has been
working to shut down publicly funded programs that kill predators
and other problem animals (HCN, 4/27/98). Last year, the
organization she founded, New West Research, won a lawsuit
requiring the government to release names of ranchers who get
federal help to control predators. Now, she’s touring the country
with a multimedia presentation aimed at convincing audiences that
the federal agency, Animal Damage Control, is “wasteful,
biologically unsound and not cost-effective.” Many of the slides in
Stop the War on Wildlife were taken by the late Dick Randall, a
former federal trapper who went on to become an avid
conservationist and supporter of the nonprofit Defenders of
Wildlife. “The pictures are grisly,” she says, “but people need to
know.”
