Farm Bureau sues government
PARK RIDGE, HI. - The
nation’s largest farm
organization is suing Cecil
D. Andrus and the Fish and
Wildlife Service in an effort
to force them to control
coyotes.
Robert B. Delano,
president of the American
Farm Bureau Federation,
said the suit is concerned
with the serious sheep and
lamb losses from coyote
predation in the United
States.
The AFBF, together with
the Wyoming Farm Bureau
and several individual
ranchers, filed a lawsuit in
the federal district court in
Cheyenne, Wyoming against
Andrus, Secretary of In
terior, Fish and Wildlife
Service, Bureau of Land
Management, Robert
Bergland, Secretary of
agriculture, the Forest
Service and various officials
of these federal agencies.
Farm Bureau alleges that
the failure of these federal
agencies and officials to take
effective steps to control the
coyote is a threat to the
future of sheep production.
Eighty percent of the
sheep in the United States
' are raised in the western
states where extensive

private and public ranges
provide most of the feed.
The suit alleges that un
controlled predation,
principally by the coyote, is
causing a high rate of sheep
and lamb deaths.
“Uncontrolled predation
and an expanding coyote
population,” states Dave
Flitner, Wyoming Farm
Bureau president and
himself a plaintiff, “is
drastically reducing sheep
production and forcing many
sheepmen out of the
business.”
The lawsuit contends that
the failure of federal
agencies to control coyote
populations violates the
Animal Damage Control

and Management Act of
1976, and the Taylor Grazing
Act. All these statutes
