Statement of Record: Misinformation Allegations, was Scam Contact
For over 16 years, I’ve published research-informed content under a pen
name to protect my privacy and advocacy work. My writing focuses on wildlife
health, seasonal patterns, and the real-world impact of urban hunting
ordinances. Recently, I was contacted by someone claiming to represent a
government office and accused of misrepresenting information related to Chronic
Wasting Disease (CWD). I strongly reject that claim.
To verify the legitimacy of the message, I reached out to the agency directly. Their response was clear: they had not contacted me, and the message I received was fraudulent. Clearly somebody is not happy about my advocacy articles.
A Note on Intent
My intent has never been to mislead or misrepresent. These articles were
written to inform and educate readers especially those living in areas affected
by urban hunting ordinances. I’ve consistently advised readers to do their own
research and to contact the Missouri Department of Conservation or local
officials for clarification.
This experience hasn’t silenced me it’s sharpened my focus. If anything,
it confirms that independent voices are essential when public narratives fall
short. I will continue to document, publish, and speak clearly even when it’s
inconvenient.
