Federal Employee Sacked for Reporting Illegal Cougar Kills
Here is an article from the journal Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER) about an upcoming whistleblower case in Nevada. Gary Strader, a professional hunter for U.S. Wildlife Services, had is position "de-funded" after he reported his agency co-workers had killed up to 5 Cougars from government aircraft and then filed false paperwork to cover up the act. Only the heads of the animals were taken, apparently for trophies.
This will be a good sample case for how the Obama administration deals with whistleblowers in the government.
(nothing to enjoy here)
