The SCIC administers the Wildlife Damage Compensation Program. It is available to all Saskatchewan farmers and ranchers for the death or injury of livestock, fowl, or specialty animals due to predation.
The use of predations specialists through SCIC’s Livestock Predation Prevention Program has proven to be successful in removing problem predators. If producers are experiencing excessive losses of livestock, SCIC can deploy predation specialists to assess the situation and take necessary steps to mitigate future losses. At this time, a coyote control program is not under consideration.
