Is The Humane Society of the United States prepared to work with state DNR to solve any significant problems that may exist?
The HSUS is eager to work with the state of Maryland to resolve any perceived threat mute swans may pose to the Bay and the environment using humane methods. We have significant experience in implementing non-lethal wildlife conflict resolution techniques and have participated actively in non-lethal management of Canada goose populations in urban areas across the nation. We also direct the first nationally recognized commercial operation to implement Humane Wildlife Services to solve wildlife problems in urban areas. Currently, representatives of The HSUS are serving on Governor O’Malley’s Mute Swan Advisory Board, and at this time, we’re recommending that the advisory board implement an immediate, and indefinite, moratorium on the lethal control of mute swans. According to the statewide management plan (April 14, 2003), when the state’s mute swan population was around 500, negative impacts attributed to swans were insignificant. Today, there are fewer than 600 mute swans left in Maryl
