| Predator Compensation 2015 to 2020 - South Saskatchewan Region | |
| 2022 Full Book | |
The Wildlife Predator Compensation Program provides compensation to ranchers whose livestock are killed or injured by wildlife predators. Compensation is covered for cattle, bison, sheep, swine and goats. It does not cover horses, donkeys, or exotic animals such as llamas, alpacas or wild boar. The program covers those animals attacked by wolves, grizzly bears, black bears, cougars and eagles. Coyotes and other wildlife are not included. This Predation Summary includes those Fish and Wildlife Enforcement Districts that fall within the Southwest Alberta area (SWA) (Figure1). The costs of veterinary care and medication associated with the loss of an animal is compensated up to the value of the animal based on the average commercial value for the type and class of livestock on the day it was killed or injured. Incidents where predators are feeding on dead livestock that dies of disease or causes other than predation are not compensated. Funding for the Wildlife Predator Compensation Program comes from dedicated revenue from the sale of recreational hunting and fishing licences in Alberta and from the federal government. |
