The crisis in physics is real: Science is failing -This Also Applies to Wildlife/Zoology



I know what you are going to ask: "What the hell has this video to do with wildlife?"   

Well, because what is said in it does not just apply to physics but sciences in general and particularly wildlife/zoology.   Science papers are researched and put together by students and put out under the name of some doctor or professor who gets all of the credit. Therefore, the ones doing the research will copy and paste or simply copy from past papers and sources.  Therefore they get the references etc. etc. that the paper also requires (makes the  top dog look good).

How many students researching a paper on, say, wildlife, will go to newspaper archives, check magazines and journals from the 18th and 19th century which is (I can attest) very time consuming and boring and ruins your eye sight?  

Researching wild cats the work looked at will be previously published work put t6ogether by, mainly, students under a professor or doctor. 1897 and the meeting of Scottish naturalists and zoologists and one fella who had studied wild cats for 40 years in which it was announced that the Scottish wild cat as it had existed had become extinct in the 1860s. That is a major announcement that every zoologist and naturalist should know -it's not secret hidden work.

Even wild cats in museums were clearly identified by experts as hybrids time and again.  Why are people talking about the few remaining "genuine Scottish wild cats" when there are none.  We have a hybrid European wild cat imported into the UK (for 'sport') and even the current European wild cat is very likely a hybrid from centuries of breeding with domestic ferals.

In my book Red Paper 2: Felids I give every reference as well as photographs of final generation wild cats before extinction -and we have taxidermy examples.

In my other Red Paper (Canids) I present evidence as well as more references than the average science paper, photographs and, yes, we have taxidermy examples, of the three original fox types from Britain and Ireland -each adapted to its own particular environment/habitat.  It is no longer "tall tales" that zoologists and naturalists can dismiss. The evidence is there.

Two European museum has cooperated with the work.  The Natural History Museum (London) wanted full details of what my books contained but would not cooperate in any7 way.  Two smaller UK museums cooperated when they discovered that they had unique specimens but that's where it ended.  One Swiss museum's expert told me that all the fox taxidermy they had was in a room behind him but that he would NOT cooperate in any way as he was a 35 years "expert" on red foxes (we are NOT discussing red foxes).

Every step of the way, from wildlife book publishers to institutions the response has been a stone wall and unwillingness to cooperate.

Discovering the evidence that an Old fox type existed in the UK and Ireland and possibly Western Europe until eradication and migration allowed red foxes to move in should be something that the "professionals" are keen on. The publishable papers, the book deals and lectures.  But, no. Dogma has stagnated genuine wildlife research -David Attenborough Productions, Chris Packham, Brian May and others have all received copies of both books but not even an acknowledgement.

False information online is taken as fact and the biggest falsehood "Red foxes have been in the UK since ancient times" persists.

If you do not read the books and do not peer review the hundreds of references and look at the taxidermy then dogma is safe.  This is not the field I entered in 1974. Ignore me and I will go away?  Not likely, it just means that when someone finally gets the back bone to follow the trail of work presented the ignorers are going to look pretty stupid and unable to justify ignoring evidence presented.

DNA Study of Foxes -Why Context Is Important

I think that this quote from Science Open is very relevent when it comes to the paper I am about to comment on  https://blog.scienceopen.com...
