I've seen other articles on US government agency-organized mass killing all
sorts of wildlife as disturbances to farming, etc., but don't know the long and
short of it.
--Some examples found just now:
https://www.nationalgeographic.com/news/2016/02/160212-Wildlife-Services-predator-control-livestock-trapping-hunting/
It says: "Wildlife Services is a federal agency under the U.S. Department of
Agriculture, ... Since 2000, the agency has killed at least two million mammals
and 15 million birds. Although it’s main focus is predator control in the West,
Wildlife Services also does things like bird control nationwide at airports to
prevent crashes and feral pig control in the South. Reporter Christopher
Ketcham’s investigation, out this month in Harper’s Magazine, doesn’t mince
words. The article is called “The Rogue Agency: A USDA program that tortures
dogs and kills endangered species.”
This seems to be about the same agency you are talking about?
Here is a historical view of government agencies killing sometimes protected
species, supposedly to prevent crop damage etc.:

+ some others from out West where these issues seem to have been under debate
for a long time:
