EXPOSED - USDA's Secret War on Wildlife 


https://youtu.be/qSV8pRLkdKI
In this award-winning film that Jane Goodall wants millions to see, three former federal agents and a Congressman blow the whistle on Wildlife Services--a barbaric, wasteful and misnamed agency within the USDA most Americans have never heard of--and expose the government's secret war on wildlife on the taxpayer's dime. coyotes, foxes, bobcats, wolves, birds and other wild animals including Wild Horse Roundups for slaughter.


In fiscal year 2013 alone included 75,326 coyotes, 866 bobcats, 528 river otters, 3,700 foxes, 12,186 prairie dogs, 973 red-tailed hawks, 419 black bears and at least three eagles, golden and bald.

▶ HOW AMERICA DECLARED A WAR ON WILDLIFE - VIDEO


In 2017 alone, the agency killed more than 1.3 million native, wild animals.
Wonder why wildlife is disappearing? The government is killing cougars, bobcats, bears, wolves and coyotes to protect cows, pigs and chickens.


According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s own reports, it has killed over 34 million animals in the last decade alone.


Most of those animals were native, wild animals. The rest were accidental killings of domesticated animals.

END THE WAR ON WILDLIFE


Wildlife Guardians, August 21, 2018 


USA Wildlife Services: A Killing Machine. 


In the past 10 years, Wildlife Services spent


over $1 billion to kill over 37 million animals.


Few Americans realize that as taxpayers we help fund a program called “Wildlife Services,” a branch of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service. This ironically named program doesn’t serve wildlife. It wages a clandestine war on America’s wildlife. Every year, the Wildlife Services killing machine poisons, traps, and guns down millions of our nation’s most majestic animals—from imperiled swift foxes to bald eagles—at the request of a minority of ranching and agricultural interests.

The Trump administration’s policies are leading to wholesale destruction of certain birds and other wildlife. This fact has escaped most public notice amid the broader damage the Cabinet is causing to the environment. Among other measures, the regulatory agencies have been working to lift protections on endangered animals, open up vast animal habitats for drilling, encourage more trophy-hunting, and repress treatment standards for farm animals.

-▶ THE HIDDEN WAR ON WILDLIFE:  KILLING CONTESTS IN NORTH AMERICA


Each year thousands of coyotes, foxes, bobcats, wolves and other wild animals are killed in senseless “competitions” throughout North America. Those who kill the most and the largest animals win prizes including cash, guns, and belt buckles. These “tournaments,” or “derbies,” are often held on public lands. Children as young as ten are encouraged to participate, and social media pages show them posing with assault rifles beside the bodies of the animals they killed. These contests send a chilling message that killing is fun, wild animals are disposable, and life is cheap.

HUNTING FACES AN ETHICAL RECKONING 


Gruesome social media VIDEOS show how far modern "hunting" has drifted from its roots.


Right now, as you read these words, it is perfectly legal in the state of Wyoming for a person to climb on the back of a snowmobile and chase down wild wolves, pursuing them until they drop from physical exhaustion. And, if that’s not enough, you can then run them over relentlessly with the machine, injuring them until they die.


In fact, wolves, which were recently taken off the list of federally protected species and their management handed over to the state unconditionally in 2017, can be killed by virtually any means, any time of day, any day of the year, without limit, in most of Wyoming.

Since the mid-1980s, the population of giraffes has declined by a startling 40 percent, leaving just over an estimated 97,000 individuals in the wild.


recent investigation conducted by the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) exposed how the trade in giraffe trophies and parts in the U.S. is contributing to their decline. According to the HSUS, on average, more than one giraffe is imported by a U.S. trophy hunter every single day, which is putting them at serious risk and making the U.S. a significant player that’s contributing to their decline.

The hunting group Idaho for Wildlife requested the permit for the so-called predator derby to take place each January for five years on millions of acres (hectares) overseen by the federal Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in east central Idaho near Salmon.

THE PROFANITY PEAK PACK: SET UP & SOLD OUT 
https://youtu.be/G7B56M1eDVM via @YouTube
This is the tragic story of a wolf pack living on pristine, forested public land in Washington State. They were slaughtered for simply being themselves. Their forest was invaded by cattle, which they were essentially set up to attack, and their natural prey had been displaced by the cows. The film reveals the insanity and injustice of America's war on wolves, while also exposing the ongoing set-up and sell-out being allowed by government agencies and certain "pro-wildlife" groups.
