Told you so – jaguar murdered by Arizona government for being male and macho

A month ago people thought I was kidding when I said Arizona government murdered a RARE jaguar for being male. The animal was murdered according to Arizona’s only reputable newspaper, the Arizona Daily Star. For this site’s original report, click here.

The Republic is too busy ruining the English language, and is dominated by females, to do any serious reporting.

This report today from the Arizona Daily Star, “But the lack of signs of chronic kidney failure in those tissues probably means the jaguar didn't have kidney failure at the time he was captured in mid-February.

"Animals with chronic renal failure usually don't have their coats in good shape," Johnson said "They start to develop muscle wasting or atrophy. They do not look healthy and hardy."

EEOC in Arizona has created lawsuits so women dominate government, public relations, and are after Wal-mart and Home Depot for its agenda of genocide on jobs for men. There’s an agenda out there. If you don’t believe, why was this fine male specimen murdered?

Here’s the Star’s report:

Tucson, Arizona Published: 03.29.2009
Macho B may not have had chronic kidney failure after all.

Tissue samples from the last known wild jaguar in the United States showed no sign of kidney disease, the diagnosis Phoenix Zoo veterinarians made in deciding to euthanize him.

A pathologist at the UA's Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory, which reviewed the tissue samples, said authorities may have moved too fast to euthanize the animal early this month. Bloodwork state Game and Fish officials said showed "off the charts" kidney failure could actually have indicated dehydration, said Sharon Dial of the veterinary lab.

The zoo should have kept the animal on intravenous fluids for 24 to 48 hours before euthanizing it, Dial said. State Game and Fish officials and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service officials agreed to euthanize the animal about five hours after he first got fluids. Zoo officials made the recommendation based on blood test results.

Dial said it is unproven "dogma" among some medical experts that blood levels alone can be used to "make a definitive statement that this animal will not survive." The zoo didn't have enough information to determine whether the jaguar researchers named Macho B needed to be euthanized, she said.

"Nothing is absolute. There is nothing to say that he absolutely would have recovered, but I can say by looking at the kidneys that there is no structural reason why he would not have," Dial said last week. "I've looked at a lot of cat kidneys, not jaguar kidneys. For a supposed 15-year-old cat, he had damned good looking kidneys."

It's possible Macho B had short-term, acute kidney failure that didn't show up in the tissues, another lab pathologist said. But the lack of signs of chronic kidney failure in those tissues probably means the jaguar didn't have kidney failure at the time he was captured in mid-February, said pathology resident Jennifer Johnson.

"Animals with chronic renal failure usually don't have their coats in good shape," Johnson said "They start to develop muscle wasting or atrophy. They do not look healthy and hearty."

Shortly after the jaguar's death, Phoenix Zoo veterinarian Dean Rice said the animal probably had kidney failure when he was initially captured that would have killed him within two months — although the capture probably aggravated the condition.

Snared accidentally
Macho B's death came 12 days after its original capture in the oak woodlands of Southern Arizona, near the Mexican border. Officials said the jaguar was snared accidentally by a research project tracking the movements of mountain lions and bears. He was fitted with a radio collar and released. But researchers tracking its movements by satellite data noticed he had slowed down significantly, had an abnormal gait and had lost weight. They recaptured it March 2 and took it to the Phoenix Zoo, where it was euthanized later that day.

A UA lab-produced report on the jaguar's tissue samples, which the Star obtained through a public-records request, is the first of three outside reviews of the case.

A federal wildlife lab in Madison, Wis., is analyzing the tissue samples. Both labs' conclusions and the tissues will go to Linda Munson, a specialist on large cats and a professor at the University of California-Davis School of Veterinary Medicine. She has agreed to review the data at no charge to the state.

"We encourage a full review of each and every part of the data, so we can provide the most complete review of what took place," said Terry Johnson, Game and Fish's endangered-species coordinator.

Once all that is done, Game and Fish will post all the findings on its Web site, officials said.

The UA report's author, lab director Gregory Bradley, declined to discuss its contents, saying the work was done for the zoo and is considered confidential. But pathologists who examined the tissue samples did talk, prompting a statement of outrage from Game and Fish.

Until all three reports are in, it is "unproductive and potentially irresponsible" to discuss one piece of the findings individually, Game and Fish said in a statement sent to the Star..

"It is outrageous, unprofessional and speculative of individuals from the Arizona Veterinary Diagnostic Lab not leading the case to comment and offer opinions based on very incomplete information. Those individuals from the vet diagnostic lab had no involvement with the evaluation and treatment of Macho B when he was alive, and so their comments are not valid or appropriate," the Game and Fish statement said.

Phoenix Zoo officials referred questions about Macho B's death to Arizona Game and Fish, which defended the zoo veterinarians' recommendation to euthanize the cat.

"We recognize that in veterinary medicine, there are almost as many opinions as there are doctors and attorneys," Terry Johnson said. "In this case, you've got the guys in the room up to their elbows in data on this animal. We asked them to give their best professional opinion."

Truth versus opinion
Sorting truth from opinion will be difficult because officials chose to perform a "cosmetic" necropsy rather than a full one, outside experts said. The zoo conducted the less invasive procedure at the request of the wildlife service and the Game and Fish Department to leave the skin intact for an as-yet-undecided future use, Terry Johnson said. In a cosmetic necropsy, authorities make careful incisions so the skin can be salvaged, he said.

Arizona Game and Fish is considering using the hide to create a "live mount" of Macho B to be exhibited for educational purposes, according to an e-mail from U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service supervisor Steve Spangle, obtained through a public records request.

Mark Plunkett, a taxidermist in the Verde Valley, skinned Macho B's carcass and sent the hide to a tanner to insure its preservation for storage and for any future use,

Johnson said. Once the analysis of Macho B's death is complete, the department will work with the Fish and Wildlife Service to decide how to permanently archive the skin and other remains, he said.

Preserving the jaguar's body for use had trade-offs. A complete organ-system by organ-system necropsy would likely have provided better evidence about what led to its death, said David Jessup, a senior wildlife veterinarian for California Fish and Game. Tissue samples of the brain and spinal cord were not taken, for example, and they might have explained the jaguar's unusual movements in the days before he was recaptured March 2.

Oldest known wild jaguar
Macho B was the only one of four jaguars that have been photographed in Southern Arizona and southwest New Mexico since 1996 that was known to be still living in the wild. He was also the oldest known wild jaguar anywhere. At the time of its capture, state officials pegged its age at 15 to 16. The vet lab said the cat was 16 to 18.

The UA report offered these conclusions about the jaguar's tissues:
• The tissues examined didn't indicate significant kidney disease.
• A small area in one section of kidney tissue showed papillary necrosis — a kidney disorder in which all or part of collecting ducts entering the kidney die. That, along with the presence of mineral and salt deposits in the kidney's inner section, suggest "there was a degree of dehydration."
• The papillary necrosis and the mineral buildup suggest the animal had pre-renal azotemia, a condition in which blood doesn't flow through the kidneys and nitrogen-based wastes build up inside them.
• Sections of the kidneys known as tubules, an area where waste materials are concentrated into urine, showed mild to moderate dilation — a sign that cells there were farther apart than normal. But the dilation was probably brought about by intravenous fluids the cat had been receiving for five hours before its death, and wasn't significant.

Dial acknowledged that she didn't know how feasible it would be to keep a wild animal such as a jaguar on IV fluids for an extended period because it would not stay quiet and would become agitated under those circumstances.

"If he'd been a domestic cat, I don't think he would have been euthanized," she said.

As evidence that cats can survive acute renal failure, she pointed to a study published last year in the Journal of American Veterinary Medicine. It found that more than half of 32 domestic cats treated for acute renal failure at a New York City veterinary hospital over seven years survived. These cats' initial bloodwork showed average values slightly lower on key indicators than what Macho B had, but some of the cats had sharply higher values than the jaguar did.

The cats' survival rate depended to a large extent on their urine concentrations — the higher, the better their chances of survival, the study showed. Macho B's urine concentration was low, according to a urinalysis conducted shortly after his death. But many veterinarians say urinalyses conducted on cats with large amounts of IV fluid in them are not accurate because the fluids dilute urine concentrations.

Some vets less critical
Some veterinarians who examined the lab report and necropsy at the Star's request didn't disagree with Dial and Johnson, but were less critical of the agencies' decision to euthanize the jaguar.

"It might have been nice if we could have kept it alive a little longer so that fluids could have worked. But the fact that the cat hadn't moved for awhile makes me think that something was going on and we don't know what that was — it could be a central nervous system problem or problems in other locations," said Lawrence McGill, a veterinary pathologist in Salt Lake City who is a spokesman for the American College of Veterinary Pathologists.

Ladan Mohammad-Zadeh, a Tucson veterinarian specializing in intensive care, said after reading the reports that she didn't consider Macho B's condition irreversible but she didn't want to second-guess the decision to euthanize. She said she believed the cat had acute kidney failure because the bloodwork showed extremely high levels on a number of crucial indicators, including phosphorous and potassium.

It can take a few days from the time of injury to the kidneys before the problems show up in tissues, said Mohammad-Zadeh, of Southern Arizona Veterinary Specialty and Emergency Center. The only way authorities could have known if the cat's problems were treatable would be to keep it on fluids for several days, she said.

Veterinarian Jessup, of the California Department of Fish and Game, said he doubted the zoo's euthanasia recommendation was based solely on the bloodwork because vets seldom make recommendations only on those numbers.

"If this were the only problem, more aggressive fluid therapy, anti-inflammatory drugs and other medications might have helped. … I strongly suspect the animal was non-responsive or poorly responsive," he said, and that there is more information in other medical records at the zoo that contained a full rationale for euthanasia.

But in any case, said Dial, of the UA veterinary diagnostic lab, a full necropsy would have been best for a full understanding.

"The lack of total transparency in the handling of the case will not allow full understanding of what could have been done better" she said. "It is important to learn from every experience, to come together and improve the understanding of everyone involved so that there is no repeating of past mistakes."

EEOC sues Wal-mart for women, not men

In its ongoing quest against men working at Home Depot and Wal-Mart, EEOC has again gone to bat for women in a suit against Wal-mart. Read about it in the Wall Street Journal.

EEOC's inaction promoting racism in Arizona public relations

A communiqué this morning informed me I was totally inaccurate on the number of Blacks working in public relations in Phoenix. I was informed the 3,000 practitioners was accurate, but that less than five Blacks worked in Phoenix public relations. That’s one tenth of one percent, .001. I thought I’d double it just to be conservative. That doesn’t make it much different, .003 or three tenths of a percent.

But EEOC has no problem with this. The Arizona Johns – Kyl, McCain and Shadegg are hunky dory with this. Even the Arizona news media have overlooked this for two decades – after all, their newsrooms are packed to the gills with white females.

Where is the outrage?

Sex discrimination = racism

Throughout this blog are companies that won’t hire men. The problem is, sexism and racism go hand-in-hand.

There are roughly 3,000 public relations practitioners in greater Phoenix. Less than eight percent of that is male. Less than two percent is Black or Afro-American, while this race makes up more than 15 percent of Phoenix’s population.

Less than one percent of all Phoenix public relations practitioners are Oriental, while this demographic comprises eight to 10 percent of Phoenix’s citizens.

There is one Native American television broadcaster. It is unknown if there are any practicing public relations experts in Phoenix of Native American ancestry.

So public relations, and the majority of government professional jobs in Arizona (Arizona's largest employer is state government), are held by WHITE women, who enjoy the same Equal Rights Amendment protection of Blacks, Native Americans and Orientals. Why? Ask your congressMAN and they will look the other way.

Look at this report from the Arizona Republic. You’ve heard all these excuses as why men comprise 82 percent of those laid off since 2007. Now they are stereo-typing other races in the same manner they handle men. No media is reporting on EEOC’s agenda to put white women in the majority of jobs. They’re almost there. All women comprise 54 percent of the workforce. Soon that number will be WHITE women.

As I said, sexism and racism go hand-in-hand. When will Americans wake up?

Unemployment hits harder among Latinos, Blacks
“Much of the disparity is due to a concentration of Latinos and Blacks in construction, blue-collar or service-industry jobs that have been decimated by the economic meltdown (same thing they say about men). And Black unemployment has been about double the rate for whites since the government began tracking those categories in the early 1970s. (That’s a lame-ass excuse. Fails to mention that women have doubled in the workforce for the same time period. Why? Why aren't news media exposing that fact?)

“William Darity, a professor of economics and African-American studies at Duke University, said that "Blacks and Latinos are relative latecomers to the professional world ... so they are necessarily the most vulnerable."

"We don't have those older roots to anchor us in the professional world," Darity said. "We don't have the same nexus of contacts, the same kind of seniority."

“Many times Blacks and Latinos are the last to be hired, so naturally they are first to be fired," said Jerry Medley, who has been in the executive search business for 30 years.”

And the story goes on with its racist rants – not revealing that WHITE women are taking over the job market and men and minorities just have to get out of the way, losing their homes and families.

Maricopa Community Colleges, nation's second largest, racist and sexist

Maricopa Community College District reports 75 percent of its professional staff are female and less than seven percent of its entire workforce is Black and less than two percent Native American.

The district employs nearly 5,000.

EEOC finds all this fine and dandy because the majority of the nation’s second largest community college district is female. That fits with EEOC’s agenda of promoting white females in the workforce. They have dismissed numerous complaints against this employer.

KTVK-TV Channel 3 Phoenix is racist and sexist

It appears KTVK-TV Channel 3 Phoenix is more sexist and racist than believed. They purchase a show from IMAGE MAKERS AGENCY LLC called “Your Life A to Z.”

KTVK does not own the show, but they contract with Image Makers. It appears Image Makers practices both race and sex discrimination under the caveat they do not employ more than 15 people.

EEOC’s Agenda Against Men learned a male over 40 applied for the company’s marketing director several years back. He was smart, using his initials and his sister’s email address.

The owner of the company called this individual. She was hot to interview this female marketing wonder. When it turned out the applicant was male, she SUDDENLY had to take another phone call. Repeated attempts by the male to reach this individual, even calling her cell phone, failed.

Yes, the company did hire a female for the position. The company has no people of color, Orientals, older workers; strictly racist organization.

EEOC found in their favor because they did not have 15 employees and did not have to adhere to EEOC’s guidelines.

Channel 3 KTVK is different. They have to adhere to EEOC guidelines. The way they skirt them is to contract shows through sexist, racist companies like Image Makers Agency,

Write a letter to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and express you are fed up with KTVK-TV Channel 3 Phoenix’s discriminatory policies. Ask that their license be pulled. It’s a long time since the Lewis family owned the company and ran it respectfully.

Arizona female governor prefers uneducated female over M.B.A. (MBA) men for touism office head

Arizona’s temporary agency female governor (all the temporary agency governors in past 20 years have been female, Rose Mofford, Jane Hull, Jan Brewer) appointed another female to head the Arizona Office of Tourism. This agency is less than 8 percent male.

This time Brewer appointed a woman with no college degree over men with 30 years marketing experience and M.B.A.s. That’s great for an agency responsible for the state’s #1 industry, tourism.

Let’s look at why Arizona leads the nation in job loss (according to Arizona Republic). Below is a list of its tourism industry leaders – all female. Let’s see, the nation’s economy tanks after women dominate the workforce, tourism drops in Phoenix, the city leads the nation in job losses. When will people realize you need both men and women to make a profit? Not having diversity is harmful.

There has not been a governor elected to the office (without being appointed by a resignation) who has served his or her full term in office in 50 years. You wonder what’s killing Arizona and why it has the fewest Fortune 500 headquarters per capita of any state outside New Mexico?

EEOC has dismissed EVERY complaint men file against the tourism industry in Arizona. No decimation here.

Screen Actor Guild practices sex discrimination

EEOC says it’s okay. A male with an MBA and one of the top experts in entertainment public relations was contacted for an interview with Screen Actors Guild last fall for the Director of Communications position. He used his initials and sister’s email address.

Once they found out it was a male, the interview was not conducted. Okay with EEOC. Here is who got the job, why yes, a female with less education and experience: http://www.linkedin.com/in/kellierileyguerrero

Male students – today’s “N” word in education

Less than 30 percent of all male high school graduates go on to get a college degree today. If you’re wondering why, watch these videos. No mention of helping boys in school.

Channel 3 KTVK Phoenix now lily white, mostly blond

By firing it’s only on-air minority (sorry for those who feel Hispanic is a race; they too are Caucasian), the station is now lily white and mostly blond. EEOC has NO problem with this since the majority of the news crew is female.

No one of the “oriental” race and no one of “negroid,” or as is now politically correct, Afro American descent.

Yet EEOC is for equality when 12% of Phoenix is African-American, eight percent oriental descent. Channel 3 should have its FCC license pulled.

But let’s give them credit, they do have one Hawaiian. Is this their minority quota?

Channel 3 story below

It should be noted in the story below, Channel 15, KNXV, also has no men on its news that starts at 4:30 in the morning.
