Brucellosis
research by Kathryn QannaYahu

 

Though the Brucella bacterium was isolated more than a century ago, science is still in its infancy in understanding how it operates in a host body. It is stealthy, hiding in the lymph nodes, replicating, spreading out to organs and joints, hiding again. Brucella exploits a hosts own immune cells, to transport the bacteria around the body, hijaking the normal functioning of the host cell, enabling it to survive, proliferate and produce the disease brucellosis.

In much the same way, APHIS and DOL have hijacked our democratic government and the funding for their own agenda - eradication of brucellosis in wildlife; using federal taxpayer dollars, our own legislators, even our own wildlife agencies, hunters and conservationists to achieve their goals. They replicate and spread, creating this massive brucellosis eradication industry and the industry's job security. On one hand, to the international community, they say the US is free of brucellosis and market our beef and domestic bison as such. To defend the 3 GYA states cattle industry to the other states, they use the responsible science and say their is no real problem, brucellosis from wildlife is "small", "rare". Yet, within the GYA, these same agencies use fearmongering statements, irresponsible "science", obfuscation to pursue their agenda. This begs the question, which is the real threatening disease? Brucellosis or the APHIS brucellosis industry?

APHIS Agenda

The USDA APHIS Brucellosis Eradication/Elimination Agenda - APHIS' objective includes the eradication of brucellosis in any wildlife sector as well, trying to force wildlife agencies to adopt or capitulate to brucellosis eradication plans. APHIS acknowledges the growing view from society that eradication of wildlife is not socially acceptable, so the game plan has been altered a wee bit, some of the terminology has changed and alternatives to mass slaughterings have been created to achieve the same objective - eradication of brucellosis from the US, including the wildlife.

Dec. 26, 2013 - Governor Bullocks Reply Email to DOL Bison Slaughter Objectives - Governor Bullock sent out a canned reply, which appears to advocate test and slaughter of our public trust elk and bison, in Montana. His letter was filled with inaccuracies, was not based on science management, but politics, so I replied again, line by line refuting his email.
