But the best-connected horse soldiers weren't off the federal payroll for long. In the same year, the U.S. Forest Service, as an act of political patronage, created work for ex-cavalrymen, waging war on wolves from 1905 until 1928, when the species was officially extirpated from the Lower 48. Except for the medieval cat massacres that preceded the Black Death, spread by fleas riding an uncontrolled rodent population, such swift wipe-outs of species had never before been deliberately achieved.
A low-cost vaccination program would have been more effective, but Chinese policy continues to hold that vaccination would encourage more people to keep dogs, thereby increasing new balance 574 mens dog-related problems. The demise of dogs, many of whom earned a living catching rats, helped bring a 17% increase in rat-borne disease during 1995. This year, the Year of the Rat on the Chinese calendar, the government encouraged rat new balance cleats hunts with a bounty of 12 cents a tail, significant money by Chinese standards. Residents of Shenyang in Liaoning province responded by killing 400,000 rats in the six weeks preceding May 17.
Of course that was good for business. Although the ADC will cheerfully kill any purported animal menace, coyotes are still the chief reason it exists, and the species most often killed, currently at the rate of about 100,000 a year. The ADC weapon of preference against coyotes new balance baseball cleats during the 1950s and 1960s was Compound 1080, one of the many neurotoxins developed by the Nazi weapons program but never actually deployed during World War II. The ADC usually used it in baited traps.
"If previous years are any indication," said Roger Featherstone of Defenders of Wildlife, "97% of the 1996 ADC funds were spent in the west." The ADC spends $1 million a year to kill predators in Montana, the Bozeman Daily Chronicle reported on May 26, but livestock losses to predators officially come to just $900,000 a year, and many observers think that estimate is inflated by counting animals who are scavenged after dying of other causes. The National Agricultural Statistics Service found in a recent survey of livestock losses that extreme weather killed seven times more animals than predators, and disease killed 11 times new balance 574 sport as many.
When it belatedly hit the media at the end of March, Hamilton's staff quickly fingered otters as an alleged threat to commercially ranched catfish. "We'd be irresponsible," biologist Dave Erickson solemnly told Tom Uhlenbrook of the St. Louis P o s t D i s p a t c h, "to reintroduce an animal successfully and not provide citizens the ability to deal with otter problems where they surface." MDC spokesperson Jerry Presley warned critics with a form letter that without a trapping season, his  department had "no mechanism to deal with possible problems."
