Welcome to my blog where fraud, lies and corruption are uncovered wherever they hide. Government, non-profits, media and corporations have many secrets and this is where they are exposed. This is where people go for the truth. There is a real need for more watchdog groups. Check out the Resources & Links page for links to find your federal reps, government agencies and other websites packed with important information. The About page has links to some of the testimony and interviews I've given over the years. It's not all bad news I do highlight people and organizations that genuinely contribute to the greater good and deserve recognition.

Whales & Dolphins face threats from every angle
By Staci-lee Sherwood For millions of years the ocean was home to a variety of marine mammals. Until humans arrived they survived and thrived. For thousands of years there was an abundance of fish, whales, dolphins and sea turtles. The coral reefs were massive and full of color and the ocean itself was clean and provided a bounty of food. Once humans industrialized, commercial fishing and whaling industries took off. As fishermen plundered the ocean taking more and more w

Bear Bile - the cruelest industry you probably never heard about
By Staci-lee Sherwood Did you know there’s an industry based on extracting bear bile from their gall bladders for human use? The method for removing the bile is considered one the cruelest and most painful things we humans do to animals. Moon bears in Vietnam and China are forced to wear these metal contraptions around their middle for decades while in constant agony. If this were being done to humans you know there would protests to shut the industry down. We humans rare

The wild Lions of Africa
By Staci-lee Sherwood When you think of Africa and all its beauty one of the most iconic animals that comes to mind are the lions. They may be the king of the jungle but wild royalty doesn’t insulate them from canned hunts and poachers. These are the lions of Africa. Fossils show that the early Felidae originated some time at or just after the end of the Eocene or about 33 million years ago. Lions have been around a long time but their future is in real jeopardy.

Uganda’s endangered Mountain Gorillas get help when coffee farmers partner with nonprofit
By Staci-lee Sherwood Who doesn’t like a good cup of coffee? It’s one of the few drinks you find in some form in most countries. In the US coffee is an important part of the fabric of the social structure in our culture. We have coffee houses, clubs and even group meetups. It’s part of our daily routine and in the era of the internet, of course there are memes extolling the virtues of coffee. At work there is the coffee break even for those that don’t want a cup of Joe. F

Sadness for the captive Elephants - a poem to shed light on the horrors of zoo's and circuses
So much can be said about elephants held captive Their life is suspended with no freedom to live What can be done for elephants held in slavery Now is the time we must call in the cavalry Their voice has been silenced forever it seems No longer can their little ones be able to dream These icons are treated as a commodity Exploiters of these creatures are the ones with an oddity Whips and chains have become their way of life Now is the time to end their horror and strife As c

Is Colorado really serious about Wolf recovery and conservation ?
By Staci-lee Sherwood Before the wolves have even gotten to Colorado the hunters and ranchers are already planning the hunting season, and the excuses to justify it. Is Colorado just bringing back wolves to be hunted? What is the reasoning to even consider a hunt before they even arrive? Gov. Jared Polis likes to portray himself as pro wildlife but this might be more about appeasing his husband, an animal lover, than supporting real conservation policies. Much of Colorado’s

Just how safe are pet microchips anyway?
By Staci-lee Sherwood Some of the best pets are rescued animals. They seem to know inherently this is their last chance. Unless you’ve had your pet since their birth their medical/health history is a mystery as is what they may have been exposed to. I’ve had rescued cats for over 20 years and none of them ever had a microchip. Years ago I started researching how effective and safe microchips placed in pets were. I found a lot to be concerned about. The first thing many do

In Kenya, wildlife orphans get a second chance at life
By Staci-lee Sherwood History of Sheldrick Wildlife Trust Elephants have always fascinated people. Growing up I was influenced by watching Wild Kingdom and National Geographic to appreciate their beauty and complex family structure. Their struggle to survive against mounting pressure from trophy hunters, ivory traders, habitat loss and degradation can seem insurmountable. Amidst all this negative news a bright hope shines in Nairobi, Kenya. The Sheldrick Wildlife Trust ha

ANNIE AND THE LEGACY OF PLASTIC - a poem about our impact on nature
She greeted the morning with a yawn Wings stretched out to catch the wind As she soared through the air Her eyes glazed the land for food Annie the Anhinga was a bird Whose story is tragically common She had a mate She had a home She had freedom They had their courtship, made their nest Hoping like all parents The best for their chicks Life went on daily as planned The pair tended to their chicks Best they could in a hostile world They did not create She went out one morning

The wild Monkeys of Florida finally get their sanctuary
By Staci-lee Sherwood Wild animals in Florida are classified in two categories, native and non-native. Many people assume non-native means invasive, using the terms interchangeably. Not all non-native species do harm, while some species will cause environmental harm this is not true for all non- natives. There are ecological differences between non-native and invasive species. An invasive species is one that outcompetes other species for food and habitat, they can also be

Sea Turtles die as world ‘experts’ sit back do next to nothing (pt 2/2 hot sand)
By Staci-lee Sherwood Sea Turtles have been around for about 100 million years but their prospects for another 100 million years look dim. In fact sea turtles might go the way of the dinosaurs before the end of this century if things don’t turn around soon. Three major factors have caused a drastic decline in their global population; light pollution and coastal development, plastic pollution and hot sand that only produce females. Any one of these could cause extinction bu

Sea Turtles die as world ‘experts’ sit back do next to nothing - light pollution (pt 1/2)
By Staci-lee Sherwood Most people wouldn’t look at a light bulb and think it’s a weapon of mass destruction. For newborn sea turtle hatchlings they can be. Death by light pollution is one of the biggest killers globally. To put it into perspective if the hatchlings were human and not reptile the millions killed every year would qualify as an immediate global threat to life. Action would be taken because humans value their own species above all else and, for the majority,

Nature as art
By Staci-lee Sherwood Nature means different things to different people. To some nature is something to be conquered, even exploited for personal gain. To others nature is something to be revered and left alone. Most people fall somewhere in the middle, they appreciate nature’s beauty but still want to control some of it. In the modern world most forget that nature isn’t something we go visit, cage or conquer. Nature is us, and we humans are as much a part of the web of

The use of art to make a powerful statement
By Staci-lee Sherwood Art can take many forms, from literature and paintings to film and theatre. It has the power to transform us to other places and other ways of thinking. Art has always been a place for free expression and often the place where new ideas and ways of thinking are formed. In times of political upheaval art has often been the messenger while targeted by those looking to hide the truth from the people. We as a species are highly influenced by what we see,

The truth about nonprofits - many are just ‘for’ profits hiding in plain site
By Staci-lee Sherwood It might come as a surprise to many that nonprofits have little to no government oversight or regulation. Anyone can form a non-profit. In the US there are an estimated 1.5 million and worldwide about 10 million. That means the US is home to the bulk of these organizations. Fraud among them runs rampant but the public is wholly unaware because there is no real mechanism to track fraudulent groups or prevent a CEO of one group from forming another. Re

Hunting by remote - killing wildlife with a click of your keyboard
By Staci-lee Sherwood Not long ago hunters would give two reasons for hunting wildlife. One was always under the ‘management’ category, the other tried to appeal to sports fans by making it sound like a game of intellect, cunning and skill. Many hunters would weave a tail of how their life was often in imperil during the chase while trying to make it sound like the match was equal. For our ancestors that might have been true since all they had were rudimentary tools they co
