Does the U.S. fish and Wildlife Service report to the U.S. Government?

If so, do they also have to follow the rules of each state when enforcing laws?Does the U.S. fish and Wildlife Service report to the U.S. Government?
yes it is an agency of the u.s. government. No, it is not required to follow state procedural laws. The state's do not have the power to regulate the united states. There are exceptions to that general rule, of course. For instance, if murder is illegal by state law, then the federal agents must refrain from comitting that crime. However, if state procedural law governs the conduct of police officers, such as by requiring a warrant when the u.s. law or constitution would not, then the federal agents need not follow that law unless they intend to introduce evidence in a state court.Does the U.S. fish and Wildlife Service report to the U.S. Government?
The US in front of Wildlife and Fisheries is there because it is part of the US government. The federal laws always take precedence over state law unless state law is the more severe or more protective of the party the law is intended to protect. For instance, if the state law is more punitive against someone killing a bald eagle in a state (which is against federal law), then the more severe of the two laws would be enforced.
The U.S.-- in the Fish and Wildlife-- means that it is a federal program....


State laws may be created but enforcement is a tricky issue..
The U.S. Fish %26amp; Wildlife is part of the U.S. Dept. of the Interior. They have many jobs. Only one od them is hunting or fishing. Go to thgeir home page http://www.fws.gov for an overview of all they do.
