The use of Fertility Enhancement Programs, fencing-in of Wildlife, canned-hunts, and exotic-animal hunts imported to rancher’s lands (often Public Lands Leased for Cattle grazing), and within both State and Federal Government, and forced upon Wildlife, in particular Game Animals, remains a large problem, within America’s 11-Western States.
The fact that the rhetoric (mostly big-mouthed ignorant folks and bar-fly’s), the hunting and trapping and ranching groups use the term Conservation falsely. It is extraordinarily bombastic, as well as just an outright lie. Especially, when used within their disinformation-campaigns in regard to Controlling-Wildlife Populations, or, so called Harvesting Benefits (covering up the term Killing of Wildlife),Is not Conservation.
As usual, we, the taxpaying public, and make no doubt our money, is being used inappropriately, are not being told the entire story of the ongoing Fertility Enhancement of Wildlife, among other disgusting things being done to Wildlife, and the ultimate negative outcomes. Alternate terminology often used, but merely to redirect attention toward the less known, or unknown, fertility-enhancement controls, and their effects, being used today. Yes, the Cover-Up ongoing, frankly, for many years now.
Artificial Selection & High-Fertility/Trophy Breeding is indeed, ongoing today, and remains a certainty, as disgusting as it may be to many folks. Upon private-lands & Public Lands Grazing Permit BLM land (i.e. leased from American’s) deer and elk breeding operations, as well as hidden-locations in the mountains, of Oregon and Washington States, does exist.
The operations, supposedly, as we are led to believe (often falsely with little science to back it up, or, if any at all) enhance the much wanted traits of Game Animals in Wilderness areas (such as massive antler size, body mass, or specific disease-resistance markers like CWD-Resistant alleles) common.
Yet again, what we are not being told, and do not know, this process, “enhances the danger” of several serious viruses’ spreading to other animals. In reality, the enhancement of Game-Animal Trophy necessities, and chemical-reactions to them, attack, and reduces the animal’s Natural Immune System.
When we started looking into this, hearing from previous hunters and hikers alike, about Fenced-In Wildlife in the Eastern Parts of our State, we found numerous locations of actually penned-in Wildlife in very remote areas.
More troubling, is the fact Hunters (often satisfying their Psychotic Needs (a lot of research shows us the actual attribute of Pathological Narcissistic Dysfunction for killing of Wildlife, in reality, ignorant to the extended negative-attributes of their actions) often use supplemental minerals and high-protein feeds in pre-hunting-season supplements. These are placed in remote areas they will hunt (such as specialized deer/elk blocks or pellets or hay et al.) to support body condition, meat flavors, and antler growth, i.e. Trophy Hunting (so much for tradition and Heritage and supposedly family sustainability), in reality can, and does so, indirectly optimize health and local reproduction. Yes, there is more, as well.
Although, state laws heavily restrict or ban pre-baiting/feeding due to the spread of Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD), it is still found, and getting more widespread, within many areas. Interesting, that hunters, trapper, and ranchers, ignore this information. As an aside, they, of course, blame everyone else, and I suppose blame the Wild Horses, or the Wolves also — since that seems to be popular for them to do, as well.
Similar to a rooster getting all the other chickens upset in the Hen-House, the hunters and ranchers get all the other hunters and ranchers upset, and the big-mouths and the bar-fly’s talk, and talk, and talk. Then get together and bully those who speak the truth, and against them. Many problems develop when the truth finally told. In the mean time,l we observe life-threatening occurrences, to Wildlife especially, of CWD and other diseases caused by toxic chemicals and from human-kind.
Thereby, and in reality, they are pre-baiting before the occurrence of the legal hunt season. Mostly in remote areas where no one can observe what they are doing. Do these folks know this, and their contribution toward CWD, for example. Yes, and know it is a legal violation, often a felony in many states, of both human-law and wilderness-law., and a violation of ethics, as well. Conservationists, as they call themselves? Doubtful. Their actions prove different. This is why many of us question their faulty terminology. Yet, a few of the Big-Mouth-Ranters will insist they are Conservationists.
What about diseases and the transmission of them? Commercialized High-density captive breeding pens, of Wildlife — whether imported or local Wildlife — act as incubators and vectors for Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD), which can spill over into free-ranging wild Elk and Deer populations. We see it increasing, and those who are aware of both State and Private Population Enhancements of Deer and Elk ($-Game Permits have become a money-oriented occurrence, that ignores the science of proper evolution and other scientific circumstances), and Rams, et al. (e.g. many observe less e.g. Buck’s compared to Doe’s i.e. Deer in Wilderness, that is, until hunting season, when Buck released from their hidden-pens in the mountains, also obvious to many) very familiar with the Aspects of CWD, among other serious disease occurrence, currently spreading over our Wildlife Landscape in America.
The people I spoke with, did not want their names given, stated clearly, they took part in Fertility Enhancement Programs, in both States, and Financed, as well as within the commercialized private sector. Both were concerned about the CWD becoming so dominate is some species within our State. Yes, Cattle Ranching Operations also section-off some of their Public Lands Leased from BLM (i.e. Public Lands Grazing Permit Program), for Wildlife Fertility Enhancement Programs, i.e. especially Public Lands Ranchers. Yes, yet more corrupted behaviors from that sector, and why we would like to see the Public Lands Grazing Permit Program be shut down immediately.
Indeed Public Trust vs. Privatization and State Controlled Fertility Enhancements, despite their denials, is true, and it does exist. It remains a conflict within our Natural Wilderness areas, specifically. We seem to be, once again, observing the tools of ignorance, bigotry, and bias flood the community of Science and destroying Our Wilderness areas in America. Or, should I tell it like it is, and actually Sacrificing Our Public Lands and Wilderness areas unnecessarily!
Many people do oppose private commercial breeding and high-fence shooting operations (added to this, what we refer to as “Canned-Hunts”), as well as Wildlife being manipulated and exploited; never the less, and in reality, belongs to the public trust, and too All American’s, and not to just private agricultural assets, ranchers, hunters, or any other groups that want to exploit Wildlife and Our-American Lands, for profit or sport. And, the hazards of “Escaped Captive Animals” also dilute or alter the genetic integrity of Wild Herds, and arbitrarily, many other species.
