Our friend and Eastern Coyote/Coywolf Research founder, Dr. Jonathan Way, published a testimonial called “Blackballed”, which documents in detail the research obstruction that he has experienced trying to study eastern coyotes/coywolves in Massachusetts.............. Jon is the author of two books and over 40 professional publications, currently living and working on Cape Cod, Massachusetts.......................... Yet, the Massachusetts Division of Fisheries – the same agency that authorizes an unlimited six month Coyote hunting season for anyone who wants to kill them – has repeatedly obstructed and denied his requests to conduct detailed research on their ecological and dietary habits and interactions with people----The same type research that is currently going on with the NY Gotham Coyote Study, The Los Angeles Urban Coyote Study and the decade plus Chicago Urban Coyote Study........... Jon's testimonial(click on link below to read in full) is timely as government corruption related to pandering to special interests is now capturing headlines more than ever................ State wildlife agencies cater almost exclusively to narrow user groups despite changing demographics of public trust resources, and when Jon’s work as an independent scientist challenged the status quo policy positions within MASS. Wildlife, his career was essentially terminated.............. The attached testimonial is Jon’s “coming out”.............. It’s intended to give readers a specific, informed first-hand account of the power that state agencies wield on obstructing productive field work and discriminating against freedom of speech when scientists challenge their authority and policies
