农业部敦促各州检讨狼群管理政策：依特朗普行政令，加强与牧场主沟通合作
美国农业部10月12日在华盛顿发布新闻稿称，继特朗普总统行政令之后，农业部长布鲁克·罗林斯敦促各州合作伙伴审查各自的狼群管理政策与标准，并加强与牧场主的沟通合作。
罗林斯说："长期以来，美国的牧场主一直饱受狼群威胁、捕杀他们牲畜之苦。"农业部指出，狼的捕食通过牲畜损失、管理费用上升和产量下降推高了生产者成本。农业部鼓励各州直接与牧场主对接，提高牧场主对如何报告疑似狼捕食事件的认识；牧场主可通过农业部"Ranchers First"在线表格提交报告。
怀俄明州联邦众议员哈丽特·哈格曼对这一举措表示支持，称牧场主长期以来被迫应对顶级掠食者对牲畜的严重破坏。新闻稿同时附有各州狼在《濒危物种法》下的保护状态图。
USDA Urges States to Review Wolf Management Policies After Trump's Executive Order
The U.S. Department of Agriculture said on October 12 that, following President Trump's executive order, Secretary Brooke L. Rollins is urging state partners to review their wolf management policies and standards and to strengthen engagement with ranchers.
"For too long, America's ranchers have dealt with wolves threatening and killing their livestock," Rollins said. The department noted that wolf predation raises producer costs through livestock losses, higher management expenses and reduced production. USDA encouraged states to engage ranchers directly and raise awareness of how to report suspected wolf predation; ranchers can file reports through the department's "Ranchers First" form.
Rep. Harriet Hageman of Wyoming voiced support, saying ranchers have long been forced to deal with apex predators devastating livestock. The release included a state-by-state map of wolves' Endangered Species Act status.
