Additional information

This research was supported by an interagency agreement between the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (IAG-D6-0910). The current work is derived from the concept of McBride (1974); he patented a leather-sheathed neckband for sheep designed to hold a bladder of poison and reduce environmental contamination from predacides through the selective, specific dosing of attacking coyotes. Reference to trade names does not imply government endorsement of commercial products.
