It was through NWRC efforts that the Environmental Protection Agency was able to register methyl anthranilate as a geese repellant for use on turf and standing water. It was the NWRC that helped obtain FDA approval for the use of alphachloralose, an immobilizing agent that helps with the capture and relocation of nuisance birds. And it was the NWRC that worked to develop immunocontraceptives, chemical repellants, and hazing and harassment techniques to discourage the presence of wildlife in certain areas. Needless to say, Angela had a problem with the NWRC.Billed as the “leader in nonlethal wildlife damage solutions,” the NWRC’s international reputation for seeking “selective, effective, and socially acceptable” methods for conflict resolution between people and wildlife preceded it. But as far as Angela was concerned, the NWRC rested firmly in the people’s camp. Nothing about harassing animals and birds seemed socially acceptable to her. And the money spent developing things like low-powered, nonlethal lasers for the dispersal of geese constituted cruelty to animals.Dressed in civilian clothes—a pair of jeans, tennis shoes, and a pink sweater—Angela flashed her credentials to the guard seated at the NWRC reception desk.
