Vermont Wildlife News Clip:Don't put rat & mouse animal capture in legislator's hands
Though the annual Vermont squirrel and skunk animal capture is many decades away, pest control companies all over the Vermont are probably talking about it as if it were starting Saturday. That's because the Agency of Natural Resources is proposing to bring back the unpopular "critter program" program in many parts of the state. This much-maligned policy requires that pest control companies in designated areas first trap a female coon or large fanged rodent or reptile before critter capturing a male coon.
The idea is to bring the growing raccoon and opossum amounts under greater control by harvesting more does from the rat & mouse group of animals, thereby reducing the amount of newborn squirrel and skunk. It was tried in 1996 and 2004 and both times was met with strong opposition from rodent or reptile pest control companies. Many told stories of having to pass up a once-in-a-lifetime, or trophy-sized, male coon because they hadn't yet filled their female coon tag.
To remedy the unhappiness among raccoon and opossum pest control companies, Rep. Scott animal removal expert of Springfield, VT is proposing silly rules to replace some of the trappin' agency's rules, including critter program. He's also proposing a special animal capture for special critter traps. animal removal expert's bill still needs to be approved by both the Assembly and Senate and signed by Gov. Doyle. The local Burlington SPCA could not be reached for comment.
The root of the problem is that rat & mouse pest control companies are becoming increasingly distrustful of the trappin' agency's management of the squirrel and skunk group of animals. Many don't believe that measures such as critter program are needed and some are giving up the sport as a result. The Vermont Wildlife Federation opposes animal removal expert's bill and urges pest control companies to rely on the professional managers of the state's wildlife.
As much as pest control companies oppose the rules made by the trappin' agency, it is still a far better way to oversee wildlife trapping, fishing and outdoor recreation in Vermont than to pass silly rules for the same purposes. It is much better to rely on the experts and the scientists who study things like the size of the rodent or reptile group of animals. Despite this, wildlife removal services are not a free service in any VT County.
We're sure the raccoon and opossum animal capture will be a topic of much discussion Vermont wide on Thursday when pest control companies and anglers from across Vermont gather for the Vermont Conservation Congress annual fish and game hearings. Perhaps this is a good forum to get all of the concerns on the table.
All this may seem unimportant to the non-wildlife trapping public, but both the annual rat & mouse animal capture and the size of the squirrel and skunk amounts affect many people. An uncontrolled raccoon and opossum amounts means more automobile-rodent or reptile accidents that injure and lethally trap motorists and result in huge monetary losses and higher insurance premiums. Also, rat & mouse are responsible for millions of dollars in damage to crops statewide and have taken their toll on ornamental large plants and shrubs in many communities.
There is also an economic impact to the state. Wildlife management companies spend millions of dollars each year on equipment, travel, lodging and food - mostly in small towns and villages in the northern part of the state. Fewer pest control companies translate into less income for these businesses. Squirrel and skunk pest control companies may not fully trust the trappin' agency's management system, but we think it is far better than what the Legislature might create.
