Black Vulture Relief Act
Refreshed 2 h ago
Introduced 2025-03-27Topic: agriculture food · environmentSummary
AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would allow livestock producers, and their employees while working in livestock production, to capture, kill, or scare away black vultures that are harming livestock or that they reasonably believe will harm livestock, without needing a permit under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Using poison to take black vultures would not be allowed. Anyone who takes a black vulture would have to file a yearly report by January 31 with the regional U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service office. The Fish and Wildlife Service would have to post a reporting form online within 180 days, and the form could not be harder to fill out than similar existing permit forms.
