In this film three former federal agents and a Congressman blow the whistle on Wildlife Services--a barbaric, wasteful and misnamed agency within the USDA--and expose the government's secret war on wildlife on the taxpayer's dime. Wildlife Services has been having their way for almost a century, killing over 100,000 native predators and millions of birds each year, as well as maiming, poisoning, and brutalizing countless pets. http://www.predatordefense.org/exposed

(32,324 posts)Tagline of "protecting native species" to justify the wholesale killing off of entire eco systems.
Here in California, at least twice each decade, some lake in the state is found to have non-native fish in it. So they poison the lake, which kills off the entire area, in terms of the drinking water, all the fish in the lake, the marine birds, etc.
Even predators like cougar and bob cat and fox can die from such a poisoning.

Didn't rouse much interest, maybe your post will. This needs to go viral and that's my intent regardless of who's thread makes that happen.
Let's keep the information on this coming. I almost posted the video tease instead of this longer one due to the short attention spans and time constraints people have. I went to your posting and wasn't sure if it would do more harm than good to kick it back up.
Anyway, I for one was not aware this was going on until very recently and I don't think I'm alone in that. Most people would be appalled if they knew. Unfortunately the minority anti-predator people are very loud and throw money around to get what they want.
But we won't give up! It's all about informing and educating.
I'll work on keeipng this thread alive since it's new and may the headline will be more attractive.
