  • Trapping – Sociopathic & Psychotic Behaviors – Are Not Heritage

    Written / Researcher – John Cox, M.A. C/M

    I reviewed a Social Media page today; whereas, a Trapper, who also runs a fishing store, was watching a Coyote, die a slow death. He was speaking calmly, although irrationally as if he assumed it normal, and I observed so many symptoms of Sociopathic Behaviors, that it amazed me he is not in prison, or a mental institution. His name and Social Media Page is filled with advertising his toxic chemicals, to quite frankly, entertain his supporters, and in turn they also derive the same satisfaction, of torture and abuse via toxic-chemicals, by watching Wildlife Die a Slow, Painful, Death.

    This is not just a simple Anti-Trapping Article. This is pointing out Human-Sociopaths-Behaviors, being, no doubt, harmful to present itself upon a Social Media Platform, as if an acceptable practice and way to treat animals. But the debate moves on, and hopefully, we can subject these types of people to prison, or mental institutions, rather than allow them to run slip-shod within our Wilderness areas.

    The necessity of trapping and poisoning wildlife is a subject of intense debate in America, with a significant shift toward non-lethal, science-based coexistence strategies. While some stakeholders argue that trapping remains a crucial tool for wildlife management, predator control, and public health, others contend that these methods are archaic, inhumane, and often counterproductive to ecological balance. 

    Arguments Against Continued Use (The Case for Non-Lethal Management)

    • Ineffectiveness: Decades of research suggest that trapping and poisoning (such as rodenticides) often fail to reduce wildlife conflicts, frequently disrupting family structures and leading to faster population rebound.
    • Environmental Damage & Unintended Victims: Poisons like rodenticides and M-44 cyanide bombs are indiscriminate, affecting hundreds of thousands of non-target, native species (including pets and endangered species) annually.
    • Non-Lethal Alternatives: Effective alternatives exist, including livestock protection dogs, fladry (colored flagging), better fencing, and habitat management.
    • Disease Control Concerns: Experts, including researchers cited by Born Free USA, indicate that killing animals does not control disease transmission and can sometimes increase the spread of diseases like rabies by disrupting stable populations. 

    Arguments For Continued Use (The Case for Management)

    • Population Control & Safety: Proponents argue that trapping is needed for managing raccoon populations, preventing damage, and managing wildlife in suburban areas.
    • Conservation and Disease Management: Some wildlife agencies view trapping as a tool for protecting livestock from predators and managing diseases. Wildlife Services has been taken to task many times, for Abusive Behaviors toward Wildlife, and yet . . .
    • Protecting Infrastructure: Trapping is used in facility management to protect infrastructure and property from damage.  Yet, humane methodology ignored, and science placed upon a back-burner, becoming a shallow phrase of necessity, when the abuse becomes obvious.

    Recent Trends
    Several areas are taking steps to ban or restrict the use of poisons and traps on public lands. For instance, California has implemented restrictions on using certain poisons and traps, prioritizing humane solutions to human-wildlife conflicts. Additionally, the use of lead ammunition is heavily debated due to its role in poisoning scavenging wildlife.

    It is way [past time to keep looking away, or ignoring Trapping and abusive behaviors toward our Nation’s Wildlife.  It is, as we observe, simply getting worse, daily. . .

  • BLM Gov. & Non-Profit Monopolization of Fertility Management on Public Lands

    Editorial — John Cox, M.A. C/M

    “Monopolizing a market has many symptoms. . . We can peruse, and see it happening in the Wild Horse Advocacy, and starting with BLM and extremely False Information about Wild Horse Over-Population.

    1. Wild Horse Over-Population: The false information leads to many outlets, where financially, many government branches within the BLM, obtain financial gain from Taxpayer Money, by supporting the Lies (i.e. Evidence just from BLM math alone, shows us they are corrupted — and the bias-bad-science involved) as well as the Necessity — due to the Fraud of Over-Population lies of Wild Horses — again see the bad math in the Horse Counts – as well as a lack of knowledge about Wild Horses;

    2. Colleges & Non-Profits; Control and total manipulation of their narratives, in regard to the use of Fertility Toxic Chemicals, Darted into Wild Horses – as well as other Wildlife, and we see negative outcomes, of supposed necessity, develop, through these very controlled narratives, pandering mostly to lies and innuendo;

    3. Manipulation & Crafted Control: We observe the manipulation by the monopolizers, involving directly, those who know little to-nothing about Wild Horses. When we combine with Special Interest Generated Science (their narratives control all phases of the product — from the manufacturing of the toxic-experimental chemicals, then to the chemicals darted into Wild Horses) with the evidence that shows a flow of information that lacks details, from those knowledgeable enough to observe their methods of educating the Public. In reality nothing more than Propaganda. It is often opinion-generated outcomes, or, narratives combined with Advertising (i.e. Propaganda), and we find it all influencing a necessity; whereas, good science as well as proper Math ignored, and their information very questionable — Controlled — Manipulative rather than honest. . . Just as often, the Peer Reviews are done by other so-called Research people — and yet, associated with colleges who obtain extremely large financial Grants (taxpayer money under the guise of government contracts) — or, Scientists, that have a financial gain to obtain, and do so, and all accomplished over the past Decade+;

    4. We discover the monopolized circumstances, within, of course, large non-profit groups and colleges and government, to all intertwine within the financial gains and distribution through contracts (i.e. payoffs to those involved, and often) that generates total control — i.e. manufacturing – information dissemination – government contracts, et al colleges – non-profits do the administration details of distribution and paid well to manage the Darters, et al.; whereas, no outside sources can actually par-take and outside science and peer-reviews rejecting these circumstance of necessity entirely, simply ignored or not allowed to partake in discussions, unless part of this hand-picked chosen financial world of Fraud, outright Lies, and a lot of Taxpayer money made available for all the Grifters involved — We call it Monopolization — because it fits the entire dialogue they are achieving.

    In Conclusion:

    It is too obvious to assume differently, and the General Public pay the Price of the financial-gouging and Fraudulent budgets, and assumed necessity — Which, we find ultimately, they control the narrative, they control the research & manufacturing of product, they control the financial distribution — Which Equates to the Monopolization of the Wild Horses and use of Experimental Fertility Drugs forced upon a small population of Wild Horses. Wild Horses sacrificed for Profits.” — John Cox, M.A. C/M
