Under the Restricted Wildlife Damage and Nuisance Control Permit, which of the following animals is eligible for control?

• A. Coyotes
• B. Mountain lions
• C. Domestic cats
• D. Domestic dogs

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that the Restricted Wildlife Damage and Nuisance Control Permit is intended for managing certain wild, non-domesticated species that can cause damage, not for pets or protected species. Coyotes fall into that category as nuisance wildlife that can be legally controlled under the permit when they threaten livestock, pets, or people. Mountain lions are protected wildlife and require different authorization and procedures, so they aren’t eligible under the standard permit. Domestic cats and dogs are domesticated animals and not wildlife subject to this kind of control program. So, coyotes are the species that fit the permit’s scope.
