Author(s): Wade, Dale A.; Hawthorne, Donald W.; Nunley, Gary L.; Caroline, Milton | Abstract: A historical review of predatory animal damage and the development of the Texas animal damage control (ADC) program is provided, including a discussion of predator species, methods of control and limitations caused by laws, regulations and policies. Recommendations are made for improvements to permit a more comprehensive program with adequate funding, personnel, and control methods.
