Here we question the “Ethical Standards” and “Dishonest Dubious Facts” and obvious “Dilemmas” of Government Fertility Programs forced upon our supposed “Unwanted Wildlife” – as Americans, and especially taxpayers’, perspectives demand government, nonprofits, and commercial industry, be held accountable for all their conduct; yet, we do not hold them accountable, nor, responsible for their outright fraudulent behaviors . . . Why?

Many, assumed “responsible American’s” today, continue to manipulate the dominion they “hold” over Our Nation’s domestic and wild animals. We discover daily ethical-standards as well as laws being violated. We find this continued and unethical conduct to be lethal and abusive-methods for population control, are based on outright fraudulent facts.

Ethical standards are not met within any of the legal benchmarks that would promote permissible use of fertility controls used upon Our animals, and in particular Our wildlife in America and on our Public Lands. Evidentiary standards as well as environmental protection values, have not been met – but rather violated, or sidestepped, within an extreme and corrupted level – Yet accepted by government agencies whose responsibility it is to assure us, Americans and taxpayers alike, all laws are being not only met, but exceeded within honestly managing our wildlife and domestic pets. Ethical Standards go unnoticed, and things such as accountability or responsibility, well, ignored or simply forgotten.

Within this context, biologically, should government and colleges be involved in experimentations within any capacity of biological types of fertility control programs (as we also consider Fertility Experimentation a weapon of destructive value during times of war, or, even used by corrupted government for . . .)? Especially when based upon false-narratives’ of “no-evidence” that truthfully supports its necessity today?

Current legal methods of population-control (the term is used generically here due to easily being switched to humane-fertility-programs easily achieved) are all inclusive of poisoning, trapping, hunting, dogging, shooting, explosives, fumigants, and deliberately introduced disease (i.e. PZP – GONACON & TB=Tuberculosis used today).

Animal welfare interests, i.e. corrupted non-profits, are based upon individual animal-suffering, but those interests are often overshadowed by labeling of groups of animals as pests, resource species, national emblem or endangered species. Myself and other American’s are concerned for the animal’s welfare, and the acceptance of the forms of management we see today, which, is not based upon factual evidence, but rather by corrupted-information based upon “needs” directly involving special interest groups and industry, evaluation of monetary income, and aggressive profit based technology to control, rather than use truthful wildlife management or domestic pet management paradigms.

We also see, consistently, Inhumane lethal-methodology being used; Whereas, misinformation and disinformation campaigns are originated, within a propaganda context, in order to appeal toward the public taxpayers and Americans’ – to make this unethical animal management regime appear necessary – when indeed, it is not necessary whatsoever, but rather based upon ignorance, bias, and greed.

What ourselves and the public are concerned about, in regard to animal welfare and the acceptance of this irrational population-control methodology, is influenced not by evidence, but rather, industry support that we find very corrupted, latent with false information, innuendo, and incomplete or erroneous documentation.

The lethal methods used today cause animals to suffer, rather than appeal toward any type of honest management. We find the ho-hum dissemination of misinformation to be improperly balanced. The redundant lies of “No Other Options Exist” becomes quite misleading, as if all the false-narratives’ and disinformation has been used to supplement nothing more than an honest endeavor . . .

For example — We are told these lethal methods being used in regard to Fertility Management of our nation’s icons, Our Wild Horses, are used as an agent that will cause some animal’s to suffer – i.e. GONACON OR PZP PESTICIDES et al., yet reduce future Wild Horse Populations; therefore, the number suffering from lethal methods mentioned above, will be reduced – supposedly, roundups all-inclusive as well. Therefore, there alleged animal impact statement, which hypothetically used as a tool to promote debate during development of, for example, Fertility Control Methods, becomes a necessity of reality – yet, evidence shows, quite clearly, the lack of necessity to be an exact truth . . .

Today’s management methodology ignores the fact that outright lies can never be resolved. Because the issues are not of reality, but rather of someone’s imagination, motivated by greed, and of course the powerful marginal reality of those in power control the narrative – so randomly, it must be truth. Even though evidence shows us repeatedly over the past 20 years, it is not truth, at all.

Ultimately, a comprehensive and objective animal-impact-statement (how official the term, to further the lie) may introduce an ethic that moves things forward; but indeed what we find, it allows our wildlife and domestic animals to be crudely destroyed by any and all means, which is at our government’s disposal at that time. Corrupted nonprofits of today, join in this travesty of inhumane-conduct and methodology, to obtain profits, due to not just a lack of caring, but achieving their profitable corporate designation – and business practicality. . .  

Ultimately, we find, government agencies, corrupted nonprofits, corrupted industries, and corrupted individuals, consistently trying to objectify through false narratives, for their participation within this unethically corrupted Empire, forcing themselves on America’s Animal Culture, for profit; thereby, because they can do so, without interference – as we see today.

In North America, there have been only 2 fatal wild wolf attacks — i.e. human involved, in the past century. In the lower 48, there have been 0 fatal wild wolf attacks in the past century. ​In North America, there have been only 22 nonfatal wild wolf attacks in the past century. Four were rabid.

FEAR! Advertising dollars, and taxpayer dollars, use the term quite freely these days, as well as the basis for large sales, or to manipulate the public into irrational disinformation campaigns too, for example, rid our Public Lands of Wild Horses, or Predators in our ecological habitats.

COUGAR — From 1890 until 1994, only “authenticated” 13 fatalities took place in North America. That number went up to 27 fatal attacks (i.e. 1890 to 2022) by 2022. . .

Indeed, we can look at Wild Horse Advocacy, and see it as well – the roundups conducted by DOI/BLM, the Fertility Controls for over-population scares, FEAR-BASED MANIPULATIONS – DISINFORMATION CAMPAIGNS conducted by DOI/BLM & Corrupted Non-Profits & USDA Wildlife Services, but in reality, simply do not exist. Politician’s use scare-tactics, or, misuse the term FEAR (similar to how Humane is used today = misused) to scare their constituents into believing they will protect them all from the dastardly (fill in here whatever the trend is for the day) _________________ , blah blah blah, and everything will be all right.

We see all of them misuse the term FEAR and HUMANE simultaneously, and often . . .

Riding trails a lot throughout the years, and I always run across questions about how often Bear, Wolves, Cougar, or other Apex Predators, attack us. When I tell people never, they just grin, and explain to me information they have heard from others, or, from ranchers, or, the government, or, Joe Scmoo the plumber and while at the bar last night. I then explain to them, that group where you got that information from are not, nor ever have been, a group of people to obtain good, nor truthful, information from. Information based upon FEAR, is simply irrational, and extremely out of proportion with any types of reality.

Last year, black and grizzly bears combined killed four people in Alaska and Canada, and in 2019, only 2 fatal bear attacks occurred. Between 2000 and 2015, grizzly bears killed a total of two dozen people in North America — Statistics suggest there have been over 180 fatal bear attacks in North America since 1784. While the majority of these fatal attacks have been carried out by wild bears, some are the result of bears held in captivity.

On the trails, we have more to fear from insects, bees, or the grasses the horses may graze upon (e.g. loco-weed et al.), or poison oak among other toxic plants that can make us sickly, if we do not avoid them. Traumatic Brain Injuries are by far something to be concerned about, to Horse-People, than being attacked from Apex Predators. The fact is, we can fear, by far, being on the mountain trails, or just in the mountains, from those who approach life with little to no common sense.

The resolution much easier, but not as dramatic, or worth telling a story-i.e. lie, abut one’s personal adventures in the mountains . . . Or, repeating misinformation, from those misinformed, or, those ranchers who receive government subsidies from Wolf Attacks when their cattle attacked and killed (most often statistics get in their way) supposedly by Wolves. . . The facts, or truth, directly conflict with both government, cattle ranching, and corrupted non-profits, when discussing Wildlife Management, or Wild Horse Management on Public Lands.

Or, when we look at the tremendous Taxpayer Expense, from these same lies after lies, about Wildlife Over-Populations, we begin to see a Truth — but not the expected truth . . . Fertility Programs and Experimentation on America’s Wildlife, are presumptive-only, with no data nor evidence to show the programs needed, or necessary.

We see government agencies and corrupted non-profits, together, both CREATING THE PROBLEMS, AND ULTIMATELY, ASKING TAXPAYER’S FOR MORE MONEY TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEMS THEY CREATED. When indeed, in most cases, as Evidence does show, consistently, if they had left the Wild Horses, or, other Wildlife alone, there would be no problem. Nature takes care of itself, when healthy and allowed to do so.

The fact is, and was, THERE CONTINUES TO BE NO OVER-POPULATION OF WILD HORSES NOR WILDLIFE OF ANY TYPE, WHAT SO EVER. AS A MATTER OF FACT, JUST THE OPPOSITE EXISTS, IN TRUTH.
