Black Vulture Relief Act of 2025

The Black Vulture Relief Act of 2025 allows livestock producers and their employees to remove or kill black vultures that are harming or likely to harm livestock, but prohibits using poison for this purpose. It requires these individuals to submit an annual report to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service about vultures taken, using a simple form developed by the agency within 180 days of the bill’s enactment. The reporting form must be no more complicated than similar forms under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. This bill directly affects livestock operations facing vulture-related losses while maintaining federal bird protections outside these specific circumstances.
