True or False: Property owners may apply for a permit to take an animal causing damage to their property.

The statement is true because property owners in California are indeed allowed to apply for a special permit to take an animal that is causing damage to their property. This provision is part of wildlife management and is designed to address conflicts between humans and wildlife. Property owners need to demonstrate that the animals are causing significant damage to their crops, livestock, or property in order to be granted this permit.

The other options suggest limitations on this process, either by implying it only applies to specific types of animals or saying it is not allowed at all, which does not reflect the broader legal framework that allows property owners to seek recourse for wildlife-related damages. In practice, the law is inclusive for various species deemed problematic, ensuring that property owners can take appropriate action when necessary.
