Hello Mojos
We may have been quiet over the last period, but
phew, have we been busy. MojoStreaming is growing more popular each month, with
a record 180,000 pages being visited last month. The areas that we have
been focusing on are firstly, live streaming from locations all over the world,
which can be seen at our live streaming page https://www.
bears, or lie in wait with us at an African waterhole to see what creature
ventures up for a drink.
The second area is our wildly (excuse the pun)
popular talk show, Mojo Talks. We have accumulated a host of must see talk
shows which can be seen at https://www.mojostreaming.
watching these fascinating talk shows;
Andrea Crosta who heads up, a cloak and dagger operation utilizing experienced spy and international security agency people to infiltrate the world of illegal Wildlife trade, the fourth biggest crime syndication after (and often allied to) the drug trade, human trafficking and immigrant smuggling, and the firearm trade.
One of our favorites out of a bunch of great
interviews…Interview with Ofir Drori, a very special human being, who attacks wildlife
crime at ground level. Hear the fascinating and touching story of how he became
involved in his current activities.
Another amazing human being is British Journalist Eduardo Gonsalves, who despite huge personal challenges, is at the
forefront of the battle to stop imports of Wildlife Trophies into Britain.
And a firm favorite amongst all the wonderful
stories – the interview with Chinedu Mogbo, a Nigerian who rescues and rehabilitates Wildlife and
educates local communities, teaching them to respect, love and live with
Wildlife.
These are just a few of the more than thirty
interviews that can be seen on MojoStreaming.com. Also, don’t forget our P.P.V.
movies, especially Land of the Free “In the Shadows” https://www.mojostreaming.
Lastly, please encourage friends, colleagues and
family to sign up at MojoStreaming so that we can further spread the word of
the beauty and wonder of nature – but also of the major challenges facing it.

Within its 16,000-square-foot (1,486 square meters) confines are 1.5 million specimens, mostly products made from some of the world’s most critically endangered mammals and reptiles. Are you rubbing your eyes? Are you thinking that you must have read that wrong or are you accusing me of a typo? It is this work by the U.S Fish and Wildlife that scares the HELL out of Safari Club International and this is why SCI does corrupt things and they are trying to work around such. Trophy Hunting exotics and endangered species is one way they obtain billions of dollars. This is why they are good at paying people at the border to turn a blind eye. I will make note that not all members of the SCI are bad as many are caught up in their lies and conspiracy theories. It is my goal to go after the head honchos of the organization. To bring light onto the organization.
While the United States is not considered a major source of illegal wildlife products, it is one of the world's largest consumers of wildlife products, including exotic pets, ivory, and other wildlife goods. Here's how the USA ranks with wildlife crime and corruption:
There are gaps and relaxed laws along with things not being enforced – just because there is an “act” doesn’t mean it is being utilized to its fullest – It can portray how criminals exploit gaps in the law. The Republican party also contributes to wildlife crime because they have little to no desire to protect wildlife, hell many people in this party do not believe in Climate change. That alone speaks volumes. I am not saying all Republicans but as a party in whole they have proven this with legislation.
Here is another article :
https://www.nytimes.com/2014/09/05/t-magazine/animal-trafficking-black-market.html
The trade in illegal wildlife is a $19 billion annual business with ties to the Russian mob and Islamic extremists, and there’s one place the world turns to investigate the crime: a federal forensics lab (and curiosity cabinet) in a hippie town in Oregon. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Forensics Service Laboratory in the United States. It is located in Ashland, Oregon, and is operated by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. This laboratory serves as the only federal crime laboratory dedicated to investigating wildlife-related violations of U.S. laws.
Sad not only do we have the 16,000 Sq Ft building filled with over million species/trophies, we also have this building filled as well!
We need and must provide more funding to such organizations that fight wildlife crime!
We even have conservationists, law enforcement, NGO’s, The US Fish and Wildlife (some divisions and/or individuals) who receive payouts, financial support. What should you do before supporting such NGO’s etc... If you find such organizations or individuals receiving money from the Safari Club International, NRA etc then you need to question this and do research before supporting such causes that seems to be legit when really, they are a smoke screen. They are puppets and are being controlled, being watched which all in return helps the bad people’s cause. These people do a WONDERFUL job of keeping their enemies close. So, I do agree some people are naïve and do not understand why they are receiving financial support. I once brought it to the attention of a Texas wildlife activist, filmmaker who was receiving financial support from an organization called Wildlife Partners, LLC who lie to people about their cause, and how it is about preserving and saving wildlife and how they support conservation. It is all a smoke screen. Their cause is making billions of dollars in profit from enclosed trophy hunting (ranches), so people do not have to travel to Africa to go trophy hunting. ALL about being powerful and 110% about being filthy rich. You can find their financials online. I encourage people to do their part and investigate yourself. Right now, all you can say to me is it is my “opinion”. Correct it is my opinion based on my research.
SOOO do your research- do your part.
We must spread awareness and have stricter laws because this is a global security risk and not to mention a public health risk.
At airports, seaports, and land border crossings in 2019, $4.3 billion of legal wildlife and wildlife products was imported into the U.S. Approximately 200 million live animals are imported to the U.S. annually, according to a five-year trade report: 175 million fish for the aquarium trade, and 25 million animals comprised of an array of mammals, amphibians, birds, insects, reptiles, spiders, and more. On top of that, thousands of illegally traded shipments of wildlife are intercepted each year. In 2019 alone, the agency opened more than 10,000 illegal wildlife trade investigations. Here is the kicker: Are you ready for this!
With few exceptions, the U.S. has no laws specifically requiring disease surveillance for wildlife entering the country, and the vast majority of wild animal imports are therefore not tested- Reread those numbers above and can you honestly say to me that you are okay with this? You feel safe?
It does not take an idiot to realize with these numbers that one organization like US Fish and Wildlife can handle these numbers - the start to solving this issue is to give them more funding and entice the younger generation to go into this line of work!
We are also destroying our ecosystem, which destroys the future of upcoming generations, and most people are just sitting back believing these people’s lies and allowing them to become multi-billionaires on our behalf. Are you going to allow this shit to happen? That is my question for the week.
One person can make a difference just look and learn from Ofir Drori. Therefore, it is in each and everyone of us - one person doing a little can bring upon big change.
We regret to announce the passing of our beloved animal advocate and wildlife warrior extraordinaire, Samantha (Sam) Dixon on the 4th of March 2023 in Brisbane Australia after a short illness.
Sam attended the Presbyterian Ladies' College in Sydney and she graduated from Charles Sturt University but her greatest love and passion was always Africa and its wildlife.
She was a staunch anti-trophy hunting campaigner and worked tirelessly to ban trophy hunting. The message that she conveyed was that trophy hunting is done for greed, ego and the thrill of it.
Sam was also an advocate against poaching, trapping and the abuse of animals that should be free.
She was a brave and wonderful advocate for animals, with the heart of a lioness. Her disability never stopped her from fighting for the animals. She left an incredible mark and will be dearly missed and always remembered.
She loved her two constant fur baby companions, the late Winston and June bug with all her heart.
A true animal angel is gone. One of the bravest wildlife warriors to ever grace the battlefield.
Rest in eternal peace.
