Photos prompt call for abuse probe

-

Two U.S. congressme­n are calling for investigat­ion of a little-known federal agency called Wildlife Services, citing photos of animal abuse posted on the Internet by an agency employee. The photos cited by Reps. John Campbell, R-Calif., and Peter DeFazio, D-Ore. show two dogs attacking a coyote in a leg-hold trap and Wyoming-based agency trapper Jamie Olson posing with the tattered carcass of a coyote.
