Black Vulture Relief Act of 2025

This bill would let livestock producers and their workers capture, kill, or chase away black vultures if they reasonably believe the birds will harm or kill their livestock. Black vultures are currently protected under a law called the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, and right now people need a permit to deal with them. Under this bill, livestock producers would not need that permit, but they cannot use poison against the birds, and they must file a yearly report with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service about any black vultures they captured or killed.
