Of course they were!!!

Zoo Wars XV -HSUS, Fund for Animals, Black Beauty Ranch, Lions, Tigers and Bears -California-Scamming for Donations!!!

How dare these so called sanctuaries make the claims they do for what they need for money for a ‘rescue’…What are they doing, going to Europe and back?!? It’s outrageous even with the price of fuel being what it is…$40,000.00 to go load up some bears and drive across country which by the way is not an overnight trip if going all the way to California!!! But if the claim of ‘responsible’ is true that means they are sleeping near the animals and NOT in a fancy hotel or going to the best/fancy restaurants but instead, with animals unaccustomed to being transported, staying nearby making certain the animals are doing well would be a requirement!!!…Even when transporting animals that are accustomed to it -You do not leave them outside while you ‘go to the hotel’…So, what’s the deal?!? As a 501-c-3, they are open records-I have asked for a work up to see what’s with the claim of needing $40,000.00!!! They aren’t renting a rental truck like others have wrongly done I might add…Having transported animals for more than 2 decades…I know the expense…Having gone recently from on a rescue of 5 tigers from Wynnewood,OK to  Wisconsin and back was no where near that figure!!!

Ok, what’s this all about?!? Why I’m on a rant -THIS!!!…

Last year Bobbi Brink, director of Lions, Tigers & Bears sanctuary in California, led several rescue teams to relocate dozens of exotic animals from substandard facilities in Ohio.

Now she is on a new mission to rescue seven bears — one in Covington, Ohio, and six in Prospect, Ohio. A rescue like this is very expensive, costing up to $40,000.

You can learn more and contribute at… [sorry people I do not promote a SCAM-You want to be SCAMMED then follow the link... ]

Lions, Tigers and Bears is accredited by the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries (GFAS).

Hi Virginia – HSUS support was essential in rescuing the dozens of exotic animals already removed from failed sanctuaries and private owners in Ohio and transported to accredited sanctuaries around the country. HSUS also assisted in this recent rescue of almost a dozen big cats from a substandard facility in Kansas. Some of these animals now reside at the HSUS’s Cleveland Amory Black Beauty Ranch in Texas  [More at the above link- I repeat, I will NOT support a SCAM to promote Black Beauty Ranch...essentially this is HSUS gathering animals and to their recent claim to animals SEIZED, is a tiger...ONE TIGER, not 'some of these animals' ]

HSUS is…

1) Attempting to claim they support animals In reality is less than 1% of the contributions they receive- It’s BULLSHIT!!! 2) It’s a fraud with no one checking the animals 3) An attempt to beat the IRS investigation 4) HSUS helped create the Ohio law…notice the claim about where the animals are coming from…If it were true that the animals were coming from deplorable conditions and a failed facility…HSUS would go in with their team wearing their blue HSUS t-shirts, slam the owners-have them arrested on trumped up charges and then call in the media to participate in their theft of property so the general public ends up deceived by the entire ordeal and the money flows!!! http://topcatsroar.wordpress.com/2013/05/08/zoo-wars-xiii-what-a-stink/

Now as I recall…Correct me if I’m wrong (If you sense a bit of sarcasm-you’re right!!!) But HSUS was the supporter of the new Ohio law and Alcatraz for exotic animals…the ultimate death sentence for exotic animals…and proud of it!?! Damn right they did!!! They like the results of their deed so why now are they ‘saving the bears’?!? And what an insult to think us so stupid that we’ll ever forget their attack on exotic animals and their owners!!! Well screw you Pacelle -We’ll NEVER forget…NEVER!!! Screw you Tippi Hedron and Carole Baskin…This was the last draw…Jack Hanna, now considered the enemy, we most certainly have learned his true colors when he attempted to STEAL Marian Thompson’s animals from her and lest we forget his support of the stinkin’ bill…and the possible HELL he would rather have for the animals-WHY TORTURE THE ANIMALS?!? And why now go to the trouble to claim rescue-Could it be the federal legislature is considering a ban?!? You bet it is part of their ploy!!! Sorry -it’s about to back-fire!!! Let the truth be known!!!

Are these animals kept like the animals in Ohio in Alcatraz?!? http://topcatsroar.wordpress.com/2013/03/01/ohios-exotic-animal-facility-now-open/

Black Beauty Ranch is a closed facility!!! It’s USDA is listed as The Fund for Animals, Inc. Inspection reports indicate lack of adequate veterinary care-Now lacking vet care is probably the easiest to comply with-HELLO!!!-you hire a vet and he/she signs a few documents-No excuse acceptable for lacking proper vet care!!! The animal gets sick or injured…you go to the vet!!! It ain’t rocket science and this is repeated more than once!!!-This is a GFAS sanctuary and owned by HSUS!!! Licensed to (get this) Fund for Animals…Follow the links below and be educated about what a scam this really is!!!

911AnimalAbuse.org brings you the other side of the story! http://911animalabuse.org/HSUS-USDA-Violations-at-Black-Beauty-Ranch.php

HSUS and Its Record Dangerous conditions…sweltering heat for primates…an area cluttered with feces…possible violations of animal-welfare regulations. These phrases could all describe U.S. Department of Agriculture inspections of HSUS facilities. On a reader tip, we checked out the USDA inspection reports for several facilities run by HSUS or the Fund for Animals, an HSUS affiliate. The USDA’s APHIS (Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service) performs regular inspections of facilities across the US to make sure animal welfare regulations are being followed. And it turns out HSUS isn’t exactly immaculate when it comes to running its facilities. According to these reports, the USDA found a number of “non-compliances” at the HSUS/Fund for Animals Black Beauty Ranch in Texas. Here’s what the USDA inspector found during three site visits in 2010 and 2011: (8/23/10) view USDA report “Management needs to develop a program of veterinary care which includes all animals on premise.” (8/23/10) view USDA report “Management was informed that the ventilation (fans) that are being used for some of the primates were inadequate due to the temperatures in Texas during the hot summer months.” (8/23/10) view USDA report “It was noted that the commissary and the primary enclosure housing two lemurs contained rodent feces on the floor.” (5/10/11) view USDA report “Wood perches in several primate enclosures contained damaged wood…Rust in several non-contact areas […] affects the integrity of the structural strength of the enclosures.” (5/10/11) view USDA report “Nine vials of expired tetanus antitoxin injections, one 1000 ml 5% Dextrose solution and a bottle of acepromazine were noted in the pharmaceutical section of the food procession room.” (10/3/11) view USDA report “Five (1ml) vials and one 100ml (partial used for treatment) antibiotics were noted in the pharmaceutical section of the food processing room…This is a repeated citation.” (10/3/11) view USDA report “A broken perching post pointing upward with a sharp jagged edge was noted in the primary enclosure housing three gibbons.” (5/2/12) view USDA report “It was noted that the Program of Veterinary Care had not been updated for the new addition animals obtained by the facility. The PVC must be updated regular to insure that all animals are provided adequate health care.” Now, to be fair, the ranch did well on its two most recent inspections. But you could see how HSUS would spin these reports if the inspections had been done on a farm they were targeting. The script practically writes itself. Just add grainy and dimly lit footage to a horror movie soundtrack and you’re in business. Zoos, circuses, farms and even HSUS ranches have a big job when it comes to providing quality care for animals. HSUS needs to be careful that their sensationalistic tactics don’t come back to bite them.

Zoo Wars XIV -Meanwhile-Back in Ohio!!!

Yup…There must be a law concerning a small monkey in a tree so they HAD to KILL it!!!-SERIOUSLY!?!

Small monkeys are NOT part of the new law…IF they consulted their own regulations they should have known…It’s not like they are expected to know one monkey from another but they should have known that a small monkey would be exempt and gone for a method for capture…

No one was called out on what they did the first time, including shooting young animals in their cages!!! If they could get close enough to shot…then they could get close enough to shut the door…

Once again, wrong call and someone should, but likely no one will, be called down on this!!! Screw you Jack Hanna…Hope you are as happy about this call as you were about the creation of that law!!!

http://www.fox19.com/story/22289253/loose-monkey-shot-from-tree-in-clermont-county 

CLERMONT COUNTY, OH (FOX19) -A monkey on the loose in Clermont County was shot from its post in a tree on Saturday.

Clermont County Sheriff’s Department along with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources were notified of a loose monkey in the area on Saturday afternoon. Authorities were called to the 300 block of Main Street in Neville, Ohio.

A small monkey was later discovered in a tree. Authorities tried to get the monkey down from the tree without any luck.

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources said that due to new Ohio laws regulating dangerous animals, the monkey could not remain in the tree. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources was forced to shoot the monkey to get it down.

The monkey’s body was sent to the Ohio Department of Agriculture for analysis.

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources has not received any report of a missing monkey. They are unsure where the monkey came from.

Cleared of Animal Cruelty -still suffers from the loss of property!!!

http://blogs.westword.com/latestword/2012/12/linda_robbins_animal_cruelty_lhaso_apsos_cleared.php

Linda Robbins cleared of animal cruelty but may still lose her beloved Lhasa Apso dogs

A Colorado pet owner accused of abusing or neglecting his animals will most likely lose those animals — whether he’s guilty or not.

That’s what happened to Bill Lee, a mall Santa whose reindeer were seized and whose story we told in our feature “Santa is Grounded.” And the same scenario looms before Linda Robbins, who has at least temporarily lost custody of her fifteen Lhasa Apso dogs even though she was acquitted of animal cruelty in Greeley last week.

Robbins, a 62-year-old retail clerk, was staying with friends in Greeley this past August after losing her rental home in Englewood because of that city’s limit on the number of pets an owner can keep, says Elizabeth Lamb Kearney, Robbins’s lawyer. Greeley is more animal-friendly and Robbins was trying to find a home there.

In the meantime, she rented a van to transport her fifteen Lhasa Apsos, Kearney says. Robbins doted on the dogs, cooking them homemade food and grooming them frequently. She’d started with just two dogs, a male and a female she bought from a breeder nine years ago. The pair had two litters and Robbins was unable to place all of the puppies, though she says she had several homes lined up when the dogs were seized.

“I miss my dogs,” Robbins says. “Try to picture someone taking your children. In a lot of ways, that’s what this is. They’re like your family.”

On August 4, Robbins took her dogs to a park. When she returned to the apartment building where she was staying with a friend, she went inside to get the dogs some water. An animal control officer was waiting for her when she came out. A man walking his own dog had heard barking coming from Robbins’s van and called the police. The animal control officer told Robbins it was illegal to keep dogs in an unattended vehicle and handed her a ticket for fifteen counts of illegal confinement and fifteen counts of neglect.

But that wasn’t the last of it.

Five days later, Robbins took five of her dogs to a groomer. Due to her living situation, she hadn’t been able to keep up with her regular grooming schedule and the dogs had developed mats in their fur. When she went to pick them up and pay her $200 bill, the animal control officer was there and served Robbins with another five counts of neglect.

On August 14, Robbins was on her way to Denver with the dogs when she was pulled over by the Greeley police. Kearney says they held Robbins on the side of the road for fifty minutes in 90-degree heat and then charged her again with illegally confining and neglecting her animals. This time, they seized all fifteen dogs.

The dogs were taken to the Weld County Humane Society. Robbins was told that in order to keep custody of them during the court case, she’d have to pay $375 per day, which works out to $11,250 per month.

At first, Robbins tried to fight the bond payment and the charges on her own, without a lawyer. But she wasn’t successful. When she couldn’t pay the bond, she lost ownership of her animals. She eventually hired Kearney, who persuaded the Greeley Municipal Court to drop the charges related to the traffic stop because the cops had no probable cause to pull Robbins over in the first place. It’s not illegal to drive with dogs in the car, and furthermore, Robbins had the windows cracked and the air conditioning on.

Last week, Robbins stood trial on the rest of the charges. A jury took just one hour to find her not guilty. But though she was acquitted, her animals weren’t returned to her.

Recent changes to the state animal cruelty law allow an animal owner to be refunded the bond costs if the owner is found not guilty. But Robbins never paid any bond and what’s more, she was charged under Greeley’s municipal statute, not state law.

With Kearney’s help, Robbins is now fighting to get her animals back. Three of her dogs died in the shelter, a sad turn of events that Robbins credits to substandard care. As far as she knows, nine others have been adopted and three remain at the shelter.

“I will get my dogs back,” Robbins says. “I’m not leaving here until I do. … They should never have been adopted out to begin with. I’m not guilty of anything.”

So many people found not guilty or with dropped charges losing their animals…Exactly what law is allowing them to do this?!?

NONE actually!!! No law can trample civil liberties no matter what…not just our federal constitution but also state constitution. -NOT POSSIBLE!!!

Emergency Alert System

Tell me…does this make any sense to anyone?!? Just boggles my mind when there’s no room for ‘more’, they than threaten to kill the animals already residing at the shelter…Are the people who run these places so lazy that they can’t work year round to place animals in permanent and temporary homes where they will be cared for properly, receive a little love, maybe some training and not be threatened with abuse and neglect at the shelter!?!-DEATH!!! ya think?!?

Another post:

“MONDAY…yes, MONDAY! That is the day that a puppy sitting in a kennel hopes does not come. That is the day that he can and most likely will die. Up to 50 furbabies can die on Monday if not RESCUED! We at HEALS are raising funds to transport as many babies as we can out of Alabama. Transportation is the main reason that so many puppies never find a way out. TODAY..WE VOW TO MAKE A CHANGE! Please help save these babies lives!”

__________________________

“TODAY..WE VOW TO MAKE A CHANGE!” -What the Hell happened to ‘YESTERDAY’ when those animals arrived there?!? …and ‘that rescue’?!?…What happened to finding them homes?!? This is typical of the irresponsible and FAKE commitment these people claim to have for the animals in their ‘care’!!! 

What if they returned to a reasonable price for the homeless animals they SELL…on a regular basis…What if they just give them away!?! Transporting them out of state is no solution to the problem!!! Taking in more-huh?!? Why spend the money to transport them to give them away-Why not give them away to the community there?!?

__________________________

*****EMERGENCY in ALABAMA SHELTER UPDATE**************
“Ok, Everyone….HEALS has just got a update. These babies are not set to be killed today and the staff at the shelter is working immensely hard to assure that every dog gets out before Monday.The staff at this shelter are WONDERFUL people and do not make the decision of whether to euthanize any animal. They are caring people that want to save every dog and cat!! Please DO NOT BLAME THE STAFF. They are willing to move mountains to save these babies. They are easy to work with!! This shelter is ran by the county and the county makes the decision. We at HEALS are putting together a transportation plan but will need a lot of help in doing so. We need rescues to step up and pull some babies! WE NEED RESCUES NOW! HEALS will continue to update everyone as soon as we get info. RESCUES PLEASE CONTACT US! We can transport up to 30 dogs to NY, NJ, PA, VA, and maybe more.”

___________________________

Here we go…blaming the general public for THEIR inadequacies…UNACCEPTABLE-DESPICABLE!!!

Damn right I blame the staff but mostly the manager of this shelter!!! Did they have to agree to participate in yet another animal seizure?!? HELL NO they didn’t!!! -Work with the owner instead!!! -HELLO!!! Could the animals currently housed at this shelter have been moved out a lot sooner?!? HELL YES they could have but then they wouldn’t be operating at ‘overflow capacity’ that enables them to claim there is an overpopulation of animals in the county and the need for spay, neuter…even death of the animals…They wouldn’t be able to ask for donations now would they!?! Wouldn’t be able to maintain their ‘staff’ and the cost to the county would be far less a burden for the county!!! ahhhhh, ya think?!?

I’m so sick and tired of seeing this kind of thing on FB…I won’t share it when an animal is threatened with death to make room for others…Lazy idiots have learned nothing about getting the animals adopted then fake their panic and claim it is YOUR fault-BULLSHIT!!! Just because they think they are forced to make room for more…especially for seized animals!!! If they don’t have the space or the money to manage it then they shouldn’t be involved in the seizure to begin with!!! Fire the bitch that runs this place!!! -It’s NOT YOUR fault and rests on his/her shoulders!!!

They have the following on their FB page pertaining to the current situation…I tend to believe the same only, not for just the animals that will likely be killed on Monday but this emergency alert would apply to ANY sheltering system that is operating well below the standard of getting animals adopted out on a regular bases and needs to STOP participating in animal seizures that are done at TAXPAYER expense!!! This BULLSHIT needs to stop!!! The rescue is not a rescue when animals, even the ones not involved, are KILLED in the process with no scientific evidence to justify a single death and done by choice!!!

BULLSHIT!!!

HSUS Tax-Exempt Status Update!!!

http://www.icontact-archive.com/sRszqmyZGmERhv5PQPZvnSq8gkD3vU0S?w=4

For Immediate Release:Contact: Paul Sloca573-635-7232 (office)Friday, May 17, 2013                                                                            Luetkemeyer Renews 2010 Inquiry Into IRS’ Stonewallingon HSUS’ Tax-Exempt Status WASHINGTON, D.C. _ Three years after launching an investigation with a constituent-driven inquiry questioning the tax exempt status of the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) and subsequent stonewalling by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), U.S. Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer (MO-3) is renewing his inquiry. Luetkemeyer is also raising serious questions about IRS Exempt Organizations Division Director Lois Lerner’s political ties to HSUS in light of her recent apology for targeting conservative non-profit groups seeking tax-exempt status. In a letter dated May 17, 2013 to U.S. Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew and U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, Luetkemeyer called for an investigation into the handling of his request made to then-IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman in March, 2010 about constituent concerns regarding HSUS’s significant lobbying activities as a tax-exempt group.  Luetkemeyer also sent a letter to Inspector General for Tax Administration J. Russell George requesting that he perform his own investigation into the matter. In May, 2010, Luetkemeyer had shared those concerns in both a personal conversation and letter to Lerner who has been tied directly to the political arm of HSUS. Since launching his inquiry, Luetkemeyer has received repeated non-responsive letters from the IRS about his inquiries and given recent events and his responsibility to constituents mandated that a follow-up letter renewing his concerns be sent because it was both timely and necessary.             “While it is disconcerting to think that Ms. Lerner, who oversees tax-exempt organizations for the IRS, may have disregarded my request for an investigation due to her own political beliefs or those of her staff, in light of the recent revelations about the activities of Ms. Lerner’s office and in the absence of any other explanation from the IRS, many Americans will arrive at this very conclusion. With that in mind, I formally request that you investigate the IRS’ handling of my requests and report back to me in a timely fashion. Anything short of a timely and thorough investigation threatens to undermine the vital work done by rule-abiding non-profit organizations across this nation,” Luetkemeyer wrote in his letter to Lew and Holder. “If the government entity charged with collecting taxes cannot do so in an unbiased, non-partisan manner, the people of this nation will lose faith in our democracy.  To restore the faith and trust of the American people in our government, I urge you to act quickly to resolve these issues and implement proactive policies to prevent such actions from occurring in the future,” Luetkemeyer said in the letter.              NOTE: Attached is a copy of the Luetkemeyer letters to Lew, Holder and George. ###
