The Bureau of Biological Survey is an organization primarily and
vitally interested in the conservation and protection of all forms of
wild life, particularly where they are more beneficial than harmful.
Those engaged under its direction in the control of predatory animals
and injurious rodents are instructed to cooperate closely with Federal,
State, and local officials intrusted with the administration of
wild-life protective laws. They must also observe State and local laws
regarding the protection of life and property, the exposing of poisons,
and the trapping or otherwise endangering of valuable species. Control
operations on State and private lands must be conducted in close
cooperation with State officials and with property owners and tenants.
