In response to a lawsuit filed by the Center and
Western Watersheds Project, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has
agreed to review the impact of its Sheep Experiment Station on
bighorn sheep, antelope, lynx, wolves, grizzly bears, and other
sensitive species. The secretive station on the Idaho-Montana border
grazes thousands of sheep on over 100,000 acres of public land where
it conducts predator-control measures such as steel leghold traps,
strangulation snares, aerial gunning, and poisoning, while refusing
to abide by environmental laws or mitigate the environmental
impact.
