Official receives appointment
National committee selects A&M system deputy chancellor
By ROBIN GOODPASTER
Reporter of THE BATTALION
Dr. James G. Butler, the assistant deputy chancel
lor for external affairs for the Texas A&M University
System, was reappointed as a member of the Nation
al Animal Damage Control Advisory Committee to
advise the secretary of agriculture on animal damage
control operations.
The committee works with the legislature for agri
cultural concerns. A specific concern is animal dam
age control.The program's goal is to minimize
wildlife threats to agriculture, human health and
safety, and threatened and endangered species.
"We set policy for what the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture needs to do, recommending
wildlife damage control," Butler said. "Animal dam
age control deals with damage that wildlife has
caused."
Examples of damage control include beaver
damming problems and bird migratory problems.
"Beaver problems lead to erosion and highways
being closed due to excessive water," Butler said.
"Geese in migration spend a few days on the golf
course, and this causes problems."
The policies implemented by the committee in
clude lethal and non-lethal measures.For example,
Butler said that repellents are used to try to deter
birds from roosting.
Butler said lethal measures are always used as a
last resort.
"The biggest problem in Texas is predation of
cows and calves by coyotes," he said. "There are sub
stantial losses throughout the state. We try to trap or
relocate them, but sometimes the animal has to be
destroyed."
The National Animal Damage Control Advisory
Committee is working with A&M researchers to tie-
in with the Denver Wildlife Research Center.The ani
mal damage control program is administered by the
U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant
Health Inspection Service.
