A bill is being introduced on the federal level to deal with the problem of black vultures.

According to the Kansas Livestock Association, the bipartisan bill would allow cattle producers to capture, kill, disperse or transport black vultures that pose a risk to livestock. Additionally, it would reduce permitting burdens by instituting a simple report submitted once per year detailing the number of black vultures removed. Black vultures are a predator of newborn calves and cause losses for cattle producers in many states including Kansas.
