25. Wow. It seems they're asking the farmers to quite a hit before destroying an animal that's obviously become comfortable near civilization. I believe in most places in the US an animal can be destroyed immediately if it is caught damaging property. i.e. If a farmer happens upon a wolf eating one of his sheep, he can shoot it on sight regardless of the wolf's protected status.
