Predator Friendly Products are from livestock producers who are certified as "predator friendly" having made a commitment not to allow any lethal control (shooting, trapping, poisoning) to protect their livestock from native predators. To become certified, livestock producers sign an affidavit agreeing to abide by a set of criteria for the Predator Friendly program. The commitment to non-lethal control methods applies to both leased and rancher-owned grazing lands.
