| The California Department of Fish and Game's policy is that pharmacological restraint is a legitimate and valuable management tool if properly used. Administering drugs to wildlife is a technical undertaking and should be done only by persons trained to do so, if consistent results are to be obtained. About 30 Department biologists and wardens have been trained to use established techniques. A handbook was prepared for their use and contains data needed for actual field work. |
