According to news reports, Jamie Olson, a Wyoming-based trapper for the Wildlife Services division of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), recently posted photos online that depict illegal trapping activities and blatant animal abuse. In some photos, Olson poses with wild animals—including coyotes, raccoons, and bobcats—who are desperately ensnared in cruel steel-jaw traps. What's worse, Olson reportedly allowed his hunting dogs to badly harass ensnared animals and at least one coyote was mauled to death! Olson also apparently failed to check his traps in a timely manner, leaving animals to languish and subject to attack, as evidenced by a photo showing a trapped coyote who was eaten, most likely while still alive, by scavengers.


Wildlife Services claims that it does not condone cruelty, yet our repeated requests for an investigation into the matter and swift disciplinary action have gone unanswered. Please contact USDA officials and urge them to take appropriate action regarding this alarming matter. And please forward this message widely!

Taking action.
READ this article - which adds more to what this idiot Jamie Olson gets away with.

Gary Strader, a former Wildlife Services trapper in Nevada, was not surprised to learn about the controversial photos. "That is very common," Strader wrote in an email. "It always was and always will be controversial. It has never been addressed by the higher-ups. They know it happens on a regular basis."

Another photo on Twitter showed a partly disemboweled coyote on a log. The caption reads: "Eagles got to this adult female before I did."

The photograph "clearly demonstrates Olson's failure to check his traps in a timely manner and his disregard for the animal's pain and suffering," Liss and Fox wrote in their letter to Wildlife Services.

In 2011, Olson's salary was $34,445. His official title is "Biological Science Technician." On his Facebook page, he identifies himself as a "Wildlife Specialist" with "USDA Wildlife Services." And he wrote: "I hunt a lot."
