The “Predator Control Summit” United Press International AUSTIN — Interior Secretary Cecil Andrus encountered opposi tion and a scattering of boos Tuesday from a crowd of ranchers, environmentalists and government agency representatives meeting to was organized by Agriculture Com missioner Reagan Brown in an effort to ease differences between the vari ous groups concerning control of predators, especiallv coyotes. Andrus was the keynote speaker for the meeting, and told the partici pants the federal government will use tax funds to control predators only in areas where there have been substantial livestock losses and will not attempt what he called a war to eradicate the entire species. Ray Richman, a Bell County rancher who said he had been put out of the sheep and goat business because of coyotes, cupped his hands to his mouth and booed loudly when Andrus finished his remarks. During a question and answer period, Richman asked how his area could qualify for federal help in con trolling predators under Andrus’ guidelines for providing assistance only where substantial livestock kills by predators are reported. “You talk about kills, they don’t kill my sheep and goats because I don’t have any sheep and goats. They put me out of business,” Richman said. “Were out of the business, and as long as the federal government stays in it we re going to stay out of business.” kill only coyotes and not affect other species. He said Bell County had 100,000 sheep and goats 15 years ago, but now has only about 1,000 because of predator problems. He said the long range goal of his department is to phase out lethal preventative control measures and develop new nonlethal controls for coyotes. A&M experts say Texas farmers back grain embarg Andrus defended his decision to end research on a controversial com pound called “10-80,” saying the public would never accept the com pound for use in predator control and the government could better use its funds to develop a poison that would “I know the genuine emotions that have been displayed over the preda tor issue in the past, and they are not going to fade away,” Andrus said. “But it’s not going to do any of us any good to continue to sharpshoot at one another. ” United Press International Based on a 1976 study of Texas farmers and ranchers, two Texas A&M University farm policy experts predict most state farmers will sup port the Garter administration’s wheat and com embargo to Russia, although the move could affect Car ter’s chances for re-election.
