They offer private and group tours at their facility. They are a 501 3c nonprofit organization that's licensed with USDA and Fish & Wildlife. <div><br /></div><div>The Executive Director is Stacy Gunderson. "Stacy grew up in Simi Valley, California and has always been inspired by the Primatologist, Jane Goodall. She attended The Exotic Animal Training & Management Program (EATM) at Moorpark College and graduated in 1989. Stacy went right to work as a movie animal trainer and had the amazing opportunity to travel the world making movies with the animals she loved. In 2008, Stacy was given the opportunity to take over as Director of Animal Tracks, a 501(c)3 Nonprofit near and dear to her heart, as it had been started in 2002 by a friend. Stacy is the mother of two children, now young adults, but Animal Tracks became a third child, a true labor of love that she helped grow and nurture into the successful facility it is now. She is still excited to go to work every single day. Her main hope is that people will realize that animals that need to be in captivity can live a quality, happy life. They can share their beauty and inspire humans to take care of this planet and all that reside on it. Animal Tracks is woven into the fabric of her family’s lives, and Stacy hopes it will continue to be a huge part of the Gunderson tradition for generations to come."</div><div><br /></div><div>They have the following animals and many more: armadillo, baboon, african crested porpupine, macaque, capuchin, cockatoo, donkeys, emus, fennec fox, ferret, groundhog, hedgehob, kankaroo, kinkaju, marmoset, opossum, raccoon, pig, patagonian mara, red fox, serval, scorpion, skunk, squirrel monkey, sugar glider, wolf, coyote hybrid, wolf hybrid and more.</div><div><br /></div><div>Below are a few photos from our recent visit in 2024.We highly recommend them for a great immersive educational experience with live animals.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

This year's theme is "Invest in Women: Accelerate Progress." Did you know that as of 2024 89% of wildlife rehabilitators in the United States are women? Most animal rescuers in general are women.</div><div><br /></div><div>Our founder Mary Cummins was inspired by her Mexican American grandmother Maria Rivera who raised her. Maria Rivera was an animal rescuer and a vegetarian. She instilled in her granddaughter the desire to help all creatures in need. Cummins' first animal rescues of a bunny, squirrel and deer were with her grandmother. </div><div><br /></div><div>Today we honor women and especially those in animal rescue and care. Thank you, women, for spending countless hours rescuing and caring for animals around the clock. Thank you for educating the public about animal and wildlife issues. And thank you for helping out, investing in and donating to animal care organizations to accelerate progress for animals. </div><div><br /></div><div>In loving memory of our great women volunteers Mari Shepard, Janet Adams and Julie Murray. #internationalwomensday #internationalwomensday2024 #AnimalAdvocates #wildliferehabilitation #wildliferehabilitator #losangeles #california #animalrescue</div></div><div><br /></div><a href="http://www.marycummins.com/">Mary Cummins</a> of <a href="http://www.animaladvocates.us/">Animal Advocates</a> is a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wildlife_rehabilitator">wildlife rehabilitator</a> licensed by the <a href="http://www.dfg.ca.gov/">California Department of Fish and Game</a> and the <a href="http://www.usda.gov/">USDA</a>. <a href="http://www.mary.cc/">Mary Cummins</a> is also a licensed real estate appraiser in Los Angeles, California.<br />

We've worked with The Paw Project during that time to educate the public about how harmful declawing a cat is for humans, animal shelters, veterinarians and cats. The current version is misguided and not based on facts or science, see below. Please, oppose or amend bill HB 1354.</div><div><br /></div><div>"The current version of the bill, as a result of amendments from the Virginia Veterinary Medical Association, allow any cat to be declawed if the cat’s owner obtains a note from a physician stating that scratches from the cat would pose a health risk for the owner. The bill would reinforce the false idea among human medical doctors that cat scratches are a legitimate human health concern and reason for declawing.</div><div><br /></div><div>In should be noted that NO human health authority recommends declawing to protect human health. In fact, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the United States Public Health Service (USPHS), and the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) have gone on record saying that declawing cats is not advised to protect human health. Neither the National Hemophilia Foundation nor the American Cancer Society recommend declawing to protect human patients. The American Association of Feline Practitioners, the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association, and the American Animal Hospital Association agree and cite these human health authority opinions.</div><div><br /></div><div>This bill would make physicians unwitting collaborators in giving credibility to the premise that declawing can benefit human health. Between uninformed doctors and doctors willing to sign anything to get annoying patients out of their offices quickly, there will still be a loophole. It would also constitute a liability risk to the physicians (and veterinarians) since declawed cats have been proven more likely to bite than non-declawed cats, and bites are a more serious health concern than scratches.</div><div><br /></div><div>Veterinarians who don't want to declaw will feel pressured by clients who come to their offices with a doctor's note. Veterinarians will find it difficult to say no to a physician’s prescription. Real bans, like the ones in New York and Maryland, help veterinarians who don't want the stress of arguing with a client about declawing. The veterinary profession has a high suicide rate, and this added stress is the kind of thing that contributes to it."</div><div><br /></div><div>--</div><div>Mary Cummins</div><div>President</div><div>Animal Advocates</div><div>www.AnimalAdvocates.us</div><div>www.facebook.com/AnimalAdvocatesUSA</div></div><div><br /></div><a href="http://www.marycummins.com/">Mary Cummins</a> of <a href="http://www.animaladvocates.us/">Animal Advocates</a> is a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wildlife_rehabilitator">wildlife rehabilitator</a> licensed by the <a href="http://www.dfg.ca.gov/">California Department of Fish and Game</a> and the <a href="http://www.usda.gov/">USDA</a>. <a href="http://www.mary.cc/">Mary Cummins</a> is also a licensed real estate appraiser in Los Angeles, California.<br />

We trim our nails with nail clippers or files. Cats in the wild will scratch on trees to keep their nails in check. Indoor cats will scratch on rugs, cat trees or the sofa to keep their nails in check. <div><br /></div><div>Our nails grow continually in a single layered nail. Cats nails grow differently with multiple layers and sheaths. The outer layer or sheath is generally shed when they scratch on cat trees. You will find nail sheaths stuck on the cat tree or around the base. They look like the below photo, like splintered bits of nails or may even look like an entire nail. </div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq9kgF2q0dwBX-BOvNBtH_tYaxB2Av94pxnx_jLUyDdHAMi0O-gMEfCKQ7nXzTEYXghs7LInq6XYQ_zVwXhTGx1Awp2GKmlI75Wz1vdzpnIWA5y77riSUQNkKZY-cZh9k_Hp77ky-JAIlPIU2pUN7ZEJyMcT5_X8E7AXsWR9aQob-zfFZnC2vllqPJ/s600/6a00d8341c5dea53ef016302d55d32970d-800wi.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq9kgF2q0dwBX-BOvNBtH_tYaxB2Av94pxnx_jLUyDdHAMi0O-gMEfCKQ7nXzTEYXghs7LInq6XYQ_zVwXhTGx1Awp2GKmlI75Wz1vdzpnIWA5y77riSUQNkKZY-cZh9k_Hp77ky-JAIlPIU2pUN7ZEJyMcT5_X8E7AXsWR9aQob-zfFZnC2vllqPJ/s320/6a00d8341c5dea53ef016302d55d32970d-800wi.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />If cats are older, sick, disabled, have arthritis, they sometimes stop using cat trees. The sheaths are not removed and build it. As the nail continues to grow the full nail will curl around and embed into the paws or legs if it's a dew claw. Dew claws are the most likely to be overgrown. The front claws grow faster and longer than the rear claws. Front claws are more likely to be overgrown. Below are photos of embedded claws, nails. First three are front dew claws. All of these cats were very old and not scratching on anything because of their age.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0f47bsrGfxAdagMkEqZsES6YptAbP_OMz8Ru_yjDvc6iHRItqNr7y5ctojvqf1elAJGIPZSMMxywthgHk8mfytMbvxtA0qGQ-glpfH9D6lFZUkNa2CAY_Zo4eOMrhhNECO4EED0xNwTKauYWlZ_-t1QV7QYQdfwBHMh2SmydQ4lBp3iao9jxFpOy7/s604/roller%20blade%20claws.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

If you are a veterinarian or vet technician, you can trim them yourself. First time I saw this I took the cat to the vet. He forgot to trim them. I realized this when I got him and he told me to trim them myself which I did. Still, we are not veterinarians and are not giving veterinary advice. If your cat was declawed and claws regrew under the skin and maybe poke out a little, see a cat declaw repair, claw specialist veterinarian only. Never try to trim or remove those as they must be removed by surgery after xrays. It's not just the claw growing under there but the leftover amputated bone, nail and nail cells. There's generally also lots of infection and scar tissue which must also be removed. Contact <a href="http://thepawproject.com">thepawproject.com</a> for declaw repair specialists.</div><div><br /></div><div>Make sure you never trim into the quick which is the pink area which is the blood supply to the nail bed. It will cause pain, bleeding and your cat will never allow you to trim their nails again. We trim an area away from the nail bed and away from the quick closer to where the natural nail tip end would be. We also trim within 1/8 " from where the nail is entering the paw pad or skin. See photo below. Remove that little section which generally falls off. Then we slowly remove the embedded section gently in a curved motion similar to the opposite direction in which it grew into the paw. If it doesn't come out super easy, if it bleeds, if it hurts the cat, let an experienced cat claw vet do it. It should just fall out. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLaa5vn06TJjteB1pxw-hnDUcy8DogQrnua6YZ3xauLmFvuyDQmB5Upud6LOf7MgLreGdGyeR5o5gBqX48GDhhGnKE2oHEbiYDxAg7P4ePVzt7cp1AsGqovqRBtSkhUE926M4pUVPdTylJqimLkh5WGBgiZ-QejYRNocAIJFXFSvVJ8U3OM0rBIOAN/s368/cut%20this.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="301" data-original-width="368" height="262" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLaa5vn06TJjteB1pxw-hnDUcy8DogQrnua6YZ3xauLmFvuyDQmB5Upud6LOf7MgLreGdGyeR5o5gBqX48GDhhGnKE2oHEbiYDxAg7P4ePVzt7cp1AsGqovqRBtSkhUE926M4pUVPdTylJqimLkh5WGBgiZ-QejYRNocAIJFXFSvVJ8U3OM0rBIOAN/s320/cut%20this.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>After you've removed the embedded part go back and trim the nail to the proper length making sure you don't clip the quick. If you can't see the quick because of sheath overgrowth making it too thick, you can use tweezers to gently pull off the dead outer layers of nail sheaths. Below are photos of some removed embedded and overgrown nails. The top ones were more deeply embedded. They just fell out of the paw when the first section, arc was removed. The force of the nail is what's keeping them in the skin. They did not bleed at all.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjTgaPB7bfgS7xWByQpqHzGuNwom1JdyLtvXKyssTTOYTVnJKo4Ui4v1NXAnDrij3UIYfWpaOVxoIcULyJYDGJ0uB65W4-2kWzC53ko0pgd3sxPn9DrqL7XyvAtUPlYHQWSmUkwutrYkAUR4t9C3ZJolTGPYVnfI_3wIBhO-Am1TWrcNAqElaugt8f/s960/419159018_10161061201031212_4675391530579553072_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="770" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjTgaPB7bfgS7xWByQpqHzGuNwom1JdyLtvXKyssTTOYTVnJKo4Ui4v1NXAnDrij3UIYfWpaOVxoIcULyJYDGJ0uB65W4-2kWzC53ko0pgd3sxPn9DrqL7XyvAtUPlYHQWSmUkwutrYkAUR4t9C3ZJolTGPYVnfI_3wIBhO-Am1TWrcNAqElaugt8f/s320/419159018_10161061201031212_4675391530579553072_n.jpg" width="257" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4NulukcSYHc-GxwbafLIgJOoZU0nbR2eoD5i2sNqxoGnI0hk9e15UjF8l6LMdNBwrNA2Gx-bpfx9AZDEOSkK4Qt3F1dhtzprWRBCpBsvl87xGt3b06hzlNA3867Q-1wsOS5OZNpFhVkGdjtDmkALo2zR3JUXnRNVFn4QK13U3TOhkf7kqG94-nshf/s960/overgrown%20claws.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="960" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4NulukcSYHc-GxwbafLIgJOoZU0nbR2eoD5i2sNqxoGnI0hk9e15UjF8l6LMdNBwrNA2Gx-bpfx9AZDEOSkK4Qt3F1dhtzprWRBCpBsvl87xGt3b06hzlNA3867Q-1wsOS5OZNpFhVkGdjtDmkALo2zR3JUXnRNVFn4QK13U3TOhkf7kqG94-nshf/s320/overgrown%20claws.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div>In order to prevent embedded claws trim your older cats nails once a month or so.

Most of the mountain lions who die in Southern California die because of humans. They are mainly killed being hit by cars, poisoned with rat poison or with depredation permits. </div><div><br /></div><div>When asked about the number of mountain lions in California the California Department of Fish & Wildlife generally says they have no idea how many exist. They never really tried to find out because they knew their numbers were decreasing rapidly. They allegedly told some the number "could be" about 6,000. </div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://animaladvocatesmarycummins.blogspot.com/2019/10/1700-mountain-lions-killed-in.html" target="_blank">I had estimated the number was closer to 4,000 in an article I wrote about depredation permits. </a> I stated "the California Department of Fish & Wildlife gave depredation permits to people in California who killed 1,702 mountain lions from 2001 to 2018" based on the results of State Information Act Requests which I made. Depredation permits are given to people who have had pets or livestock killed by mountain lions. The permits allow them to shoot and kill the mountain lion whom they think killed their animals. Every time pets or livestock are killed it's because they weren't properly protected by their owners.</div><div><br /></div><div>Today the <a href="https://www.latimes.com/environment/story/2024-01-07/california-has-fewer-mountain-lions-than-previously-estimated" target="_blank">LA Times had an article</a> about a recent study which is not final or published about the actual number of mountain lions in the state. The study found there could be 3,200-4,500 mountain lions in the state with most in Northern California. My estimate was right in the middle even though Fish & Wildlife told me it was "way too low." I even asked people who were directly involved in this study if they knew how many mountain lions existed. They said they had no idea but my number was too low. I actually have that on video. From the article,</div><div><br /></div><div>"The total number of mountain lions is estimated to be between 3,200 and 4,500, which is thousands fewer than previously thought. The count was conducted by state and university scientists who used GPS collar data and genetic information from scat samples to model population densities across the Sierra Nevada Mountains, the Mojave Desert and Southern California’s patchwork of weedy, fire-stripped wilderness.</div><div><br /></div><div>“The greatest density is in the coastal forests of Humboldt and Mendocino counties of Northwest California, and lowest is the high desert east of the Sierra Nevada range in Inyo County,” said Justin Dellinger, a large-carnivore biologist and leader of the California Mountain Lion Project effort. “The Central Valley and portions of the Mojave Desert have no mountain lions.”</div><div><br /></div><div>"The California Department of Fish and Wildlife had for decades estimated that the state’s mountain lion population was roughly 6,000 — even despite relentless vehicle strikes, wildfires and encroachment by land-hungry humans throughout their range.</div><div><br /></div><div>“That old figure was just a back-of-the-envelope calculation without much data to support it,” Dellinger said. “The new, more accurate information we collected will be used to conserve and manage mountain lions more appropriately.”</div><div><br /></div><div>In a collaborative effort involving the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, UC Davis, UC Santa Cruz, the nonprofit Institute for Wildlife Studies and the nonprofit Audubon Canyon Ranch, Dellinger and others traipsed through mountain forests, canyons and desert badlands in search of tracks. They also set trail cameras and traps, tranquilized lions, took biological samples and fitted animals with tracking collars.</div><div><br /></div></div><div><div>Dellinger said the group spent roughly $2.45 million in state funds over seven years to produce three population estimates: One suggests there are 4,511 cougars living in California, and the other two suggest the number is roughly 3,200. Deciding which figure is most precise will be challenging for biologists tasked with reviewing the census report."</div><div><br /></div><div>"There’s an almost 1 in 4 chance that the charismatic cats could be extinct in the Santa Monica and Santa Ana Mountains within 50 years."</div><div><br /></div><div>Clearly something must be done now or our native mountain lion will become extinct. I'm sure they calculated the birth rate, cub/kitten survival rate to age of maturity/breeding and death rate by various causes including depredation permits to make this estimate. I'd love to see the math but will have to wait until the research is reviewed then published. I will assume it's correct based on my knowledge of the experience and expertise of Dr. T Winston Vickers, UC Davis and the other organizations involved.</div></div><div><br /></div><div>As I stated in my previous articles the main things we must do to save native mountain lions in order are the following.</div><div><br /></div><div>1. Do not give any depredation permits for mountain lions. People must secure their livestock and pets. If a mountain lion doesn't kill and eat the livestock or pet dog, a coyote will. Fish & Wildlife said they don't want to give the permits. Ask the California legislature or the Fish & Game Commission to change the regulations that makes it mandatory for the Department to give depredation permits. They should only give permits if one specific mountain lion is a definite threat to humans based on facts and physical evidence.</div><div><br /></div><div>2. Stop allowing the use of anticoagulant bait poison outdoors. Non-target wildlife are eating the poison directly or they are being poisoned secondarily by eating animals which ate the poison. Mountain lions will eat slower sick animals more often because they're easier to catch. They primarily eat the organ meat which is where the poison is stored in the liver. Mountain lions eat coyotes, raccoons who are also poisoned secondarily. Mountain lions eat ground squirrels, gophers directly who eat the poison directly. They really need to find a different safer method of controlling ground squirrels, gophers on golf courses, soccer fields and landscape areas. They have to put the poison in bait stations which only allow the target animal. Maybe there can be trap doors in the bait stations that dump the animal in a bucket where it can at least be killed humanely and quickly. Poison is a slow painful death.</div><div><br /></div><div>3. Allow the maintenance of existing open space. Limit development and plan any development with native wildlife in mind. Don't plan new freeways with blind curves. Research has shown us mountain lions are more likely to be hit by cars on curved roads with limited visibility. If mountain lions must pass through a dangerous area, guide and funnel them to safer areas with hardscape and landscape. They are incorporating some of this in the Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing. Development also limits population ranges which isolates mountain lions causing inbreeding and genetic degradation issues.</div><div><br /></div><div>I'm glad someone finally did a study about the actual number of mountain lions in California. Maybe this will help conserve this important keystone species. We need mountain lions to help control the deer population. If the deer population gets out of control, it can be detrimental to our ecosystem and environment. This is especially so because we killed off all our native wolves over 100 years ago. Only recently have a few migrated from other states into California. Reintroducing wolves in certain areas in some states has restored ecosystems. I hope we don't get to the point where we have to reintroduce mountain lions to California. </div><div><br /></div><a href="http://www.marycummins.com/">Mary Cummins</a> of <a href="http://www.animaladvocates.us/">Animal Advocates</a> is a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wildlife_rehabilitator">wildlife rehabilitator</a> licensed by the <a href="http://www.dfg.ca.gov/">California Department of Fish and Game</a> and the <a href="http://www.usda.gov/">USDA</a>. <a href="http://www.mary.cc/">Mary Cummins</a> is also a licensed real estate appraiser in Los Angeles, California.<br />

Under the floors, behind the bedroom walls, there is an alien place, populated by millions of creatures–some bizarre… some disgusting… some downright lethal! Welcome to the world of Discovery Channel’s new limited series, THE UNDETECTABLES, premiering March 1 at 8:00 PM ET/PT. In four fast-paced episodes, airing Tuesdays throughout the month, the ground-breaking program uncovers the microscopic and unseen world–everything you were afraid to find out that lives in your home–from germs to bacteria, from salmonella to toxic mold… not to mention the bugs.</p><p style="background: 0px 0px rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, "Bitstream Charter", serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Half reality show, half “Fantastic Voyage,” the series employs a dynamic SWAT team for the invisible world – five experts who are charged with seeking out the dangers of a microbial realm that exists right inside our homes. They’ve been called “the Superheroes of the Gross”: PJ Aspuria, the microbiologist; Steve Sandalis, the contractor; Dr. Marc Reidl, specialist in allergens and immunology; Chris Hardie, pest expert; and mold specialist Rich Valdez. Swabbing and testing every room and surface, they use the latest in high-tech gadgetry–from thermal scanners, to the Crimescope forensic light… plus the unparalleled computer graphics of Zoic Studios (the company that creates the special effects for the hit series CSI: Miami).</p><p style="background: 0px 0px rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, "Bitstream Charter", serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Investigating from the basement to the rafters, the high-energy experts give home invasions a whole new meaning… From a 100-year-old Arts-and-Crafts Bungalow to a college frat house, THE UNDETECTABLES reveal to the unsuspecting residents the home they never dreamed was there – their real home.

In many case, they’d do better to make their sandwiches on top of the toilet seat.<br />Dust in our homes can be made of up to 80% dust mites- microscopic creatures that feed on the more than one million skin cells we shed each hour.<br />That every time you flush the toilet, it’s an eruption of microbes… sending a shower of microscopic particles up to 20 feet away… and coating the entire bathroom…<br />THE UNDETECTABLES… more than just a reality show… a hyper-reality show… bringing to life a world most people didn’t even realize was there….</p><p style="background: 0px 0px rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, "Bitstream Charter", serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Produced for Discovery Channel by FilmOasis, Inc. in association with Uncle Film+TV.

A life-changing event has brought THE UNDETECTABLES to the Smith home. Sally's Smith's husband Wayne has been diagnosed with cancer.

From campylobacter in the water to salmonella in the food to mold spores on the ceiling--all can be dangerous, even deadly. Wayne is scheduled to return home from the hospital soon, but the Smith house is potential minefield. In a home packed with four teenagers, four cats, a snake, and a domesticated squirrel called Chip—not to mention a roof that's falling apart with birds nesting in the attic--Wayne and his family clearly need help. THE UNDETECTABLES have to find out what's plaguing the Smiths' house and make it safe for Wayne's return.</p><p style="background: 0px 0px rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, "Bitstream Charter", serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><a href="http://www.marycummins.com/" style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; color: #0066cc; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Mary Cummins</a> of <a href="http://www.animaladvocates.us/" style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; color: #0066cc; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Animal Advocates</a> is a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wildlife_rehabilitator" style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; color: #0066cc; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">wildlife rehabilitator</a> licensed by the <a href="http://www.dfg.ca.gov/" style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; color: #0066cc; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">California Department of Fish and Game</a> and the <a href="http://www.usda.gov/" style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; color: #0066cc; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">USDA</a>. <a href="http://www.mary.cc/" style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; color: #0066cc; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Mary Cummins</a> is also a licensed real estate appraiser in Los Angeles, California.</p><p style="background: 0px 0px rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, "Bitstream Charter", serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></p><ul style="background: 0px 0px rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, "Bitstream Charter", serif; font-size: 16px; list-style: square; margin: 0px 0px 24px 1.5em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><li style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><a href="http://www.linkedin.com/in/marycummins" style="background: 0px 0px; border: 0px; color: #0066cc; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Mary Cummins LinkedIn</a></li></ul></div><div><br /></div><a href="http://www.marycummins.com/">Mary Cummins</a> of <a href="http://www.animaladvocates.us/">Animal Advocates</a> is a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wildlife_rehabilitator">wildlife rehabilitator</a> licensed by the <a href="http://www.dfg.ca.gov/">California Department of Fish and Game</a> and the <a href="http://www.usda.gov/">USDA</a>. <a href="http://www.mary.cc/">Mary Cummins</a> is also a licensed real estate appraiser in Los Angeles, California.<br />

My family is from Mexico. Family name is Rivera Baz. We had a ranch in Mexico and the US. I rode horses growing up. I went to American rodeos. I speak Spanish. I'm a citizen and registered voter of Los Angeles, California, USA. I was born in Los Angeles. I also went through the Police Academy, Humane Academy to become a Humane Officer to enforce animal cruelty regulations in California. That said I'm against certain specific cruel rodeo, charreria events because they are animal abuse. They cause senseless stress, injury and death to animals and people including children. Most rodeo events are animal cruelty and a violation of <a href="https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=PEN&sectionNum=597" target="_blank">California penal code 597</a>. The code is mentioned in the motion. Just to be clear the city wants to ban specific acts of animal abuse. They are not outright banning rodeos, charreria, horseback riding or farm animal events. You can have the events. Just don't abuse animals with specific activity which they will list. No traditional or cultural events will be banned just very specific cruel acts.</div><div><br /></div><div>UPDATE I've been doing some research. Except for upcoming <a href="https://pbr.com/" target="_blank">Professional Bull Riders</a> Unleash The Beast rodeo at Crypto.com arena in February 16, 17 2024 there aren't many rodeo, charreria/charreada events in Los Angeles City. The few that exist are outside of the city in other cities like Pico Rivera (charrereada events), City of Industry (Bill Pickett rodeo) or Los Angeles County. This mainly has to do with zoning and cost of land. I'll post a list of these places in the city if I can find any. I think people may be arguing over basically nothing. Very few events could be banned. Specifically only certain specific cruel behaviors involving animals would be banned. You can still do horse parades and the rest of the charreria activities like mariachi, dancing, singing and of course enjoying delicious Mexican cuisine. The city should look at the number of rodeo, charreada permits actually pulled last 20 years. I bet there are very few.</div><div><br /></div><div>I just read this on <a href="https://www.animals24-7.org/2023/12/06/los-angeles-council-vote-against-rodeo-opens-new-fight-against-charreada/" target="_blank">24-7 Animal</a>. "One standard charreada event, horse tripping, has been banned throughout California since 1994." I think horse tripping was banned years earlier because of the movie industry. There was a lot of horse tripping in old westerns. A few actors put a stop to it calling it cruel and sometimes lethal. They could easily break their legs, backs and necks.</div><div><br /></div><div>12/14/2023 My comment just showed up on 12/11. </div><div><br /></div><div><div>Name: Mary Cummins Animal Advocates</div><div>Date Submitted: 12/07/2023 12:26 PM</div><div>Council File No: 20-1575 </div><div>Comments for Public Posting: Mary Cummins Animal Advocates RE: Public Comment</div><div>supporting item 20-1575 Proposed Rodeo Ban.

Then they said charreada and other events are okay unless they include the banned activity. That means charreria events will be banned. They can do the main event but can't do any of the ten individual charreria events. Definition of charreria events is below. Charreria will be banned unless they just want to dress up and ride around on horses normally. Okay!</div><div><br /></div><div>Current status is it goes back to City Attorney to be rewritten then will return to City Council to vote again. Latina City Council member Monica Rodriguez signed the motion. She voted yes to the motion to ban rodeo and rodeo events. That means she voted to ban charreria, see below with her signature and vote.</div><div><br /></div><div><div>"MOTION</div><div>DEC 0 5 2023<br /><br /></div><div>I FURTHER MOVE that the City Council request the City Attorney to prepare and present an</div><div>ordinance that will amend the Los Angeles Municipal Code to:<br /><br /></div><div>I MOVE that the City Council receive and file City Attorney Report Number 21-0377 and the</div><div>attached draft ordinance, which were transmitted on December 22, 2021.</div><div><br /></div><div>1.

I've met her a few times at Latino events like Dia de Muertos, El Grito... I like her a lot. She is Latina and speaks Spanish. She is being a politician in this video and trying to appease some people. Notice she clearly stated "we must protect the welfare of the animals that we all love." Rodeo events clearly harm the welfare of animals. She is involved in equine activities in Los Angeles. She just had a horse event recently. She has promoted the safety and welfare of horses by having horse health clinics and making safer horse trails. She was part of Equine Safety Month, promotes the Equine Fair, horse license and microchip cinics and equine health clinics. I follow her pages because I generally support what she does.</div><div><br /></div><div>Below is translated from the linked video below. I did my best.</div><div><div><br /></div><div>"La lucha sigues. (the fight continues) It's very important that everyone understands we're not done. What we did today was show them that we're not going to go silently.and we're gonna protect our cultural tradition and together were also gonna make sure that we protect the welfare of the animals that we all love. What were doing today is we've sent this item back to committee and we need to continue to show up to make sure that the policy that is adopted by this city council isn't punitive to any community of color that practices equine keeping and celebrate our beloved animals. I want to thank the cowboys, the charreria from Sylmar, Pico Rivera, Riverside and everyone that came out today from the 7th district. Equine keeping, this is a treasured and beloved practice for our community. We want to make sure that we protect this history for years to come. Thank you all for being here today but we need you to continue to show up and make sure. Today we fought for a seat at the table and we won. Now we gotta show up and make sure that we inform good policy making that is just as it relates to equine keeping, it ... We have to show up and be accounted for."<br /><br /></div><div>I noticed most speakers said they came from Mexico and aren't citizens or natives of Los Angeles or the US. They keep saying "Viva Mexico! Viva rodeo!" This motion is about rodeo in the city of Los Angeles. Most don't speak English. Most didn't engage with anti rodeo protesters because it didn't look like they understood what was being said. Instead they sang songs in Spanish. I have a feeling some commercial rodeo businesses and organizations are the ones who encouraged these non-citizens to show up. It's most likely the Professional Bull Riders tour which is supposed to happen in February 2024. They're probably workers from the businesses if not paid protesters. The city only cares about what voting citizens want in their city. When these people realize that rodeo activities will be banned they won't be too happy. The anti-rodeo activists have been on this issue for 30 years. They go to all the meetings to speak. They are citizens of LA.</div><div><br /></div><div>Monica Rodriguez previously stated "According to Rodriguez's office, in its current form the proposed ordinance "unfairly excludes sports like polo and dressage while applying a broad definition of rodeo that adversely affects cultural traditions." Polo and dressage can be cruel. </div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C0fGEOZysqk/">https://www.instagram.com/p/C0fGEOZysqk/</a></div></div><div><br /></div><div>The board of LA Animal Services supports the rodeo ban. "In October, the Los Angeles Board of Animal Services Commissioners unanimously recommended that the City Council pass the ban, with several members of the public and LAAS General Manager Staycee Dains speaking in strong support of the measure and no one speaking against it."</div><div><br /></div><div>Rodeos are banned in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, and Vancouver, Canada banned them in 2006. The City Council originally asked the city attorney to draft a proposed ordinance in early 2021, modeling it after a 1992 ordinance enacted in Pittsburgh that Los Angeles officials say has worked well in its 30 years of enforcement.</div><div><br /></div><div>"Rodeos often use a number of inhumane implements to encourage aggressive behavior in animals to produce an entertainment product. Animals suffer significant injuries during common rodeo events such as bull and bronco riding, steer wrestling and calf roping," the City Council motion stated. "Many animals are put down as a result of injuries sustained during these events. It is time for our city to act in the interest of animal welfare on this issue as it has in the past for other issues."</div><div><br /></div><div>Pasadena banned the display of wild or exotic animals on public property in 2015, a law that applied to circuses and rodeos. Irvine banned rodeos in 2011, and Laguna Woods and Chino Hills have also banned them.</div><div><br /></div><div>Other cities and counties including Alameda County in Northern California and Clark County in Nevada have passed more narrow prohibitions on specific rodeo activities without banning the events all together."</div><div><br /></div><div>UPDATE: The city basically banned rodeos today. They excluded "charreria," "charreada" not realizing it's the same thing. They did state that they are banning specific rodeo practices. The "motion is an “instruction” to the city attorney to draft an ordinance that bans specific cruel activities such as “bareback bronc riding, saddle bronc riding, bull riding, road capping, etc.” These practices are the same things as charreria, see definitions below! The motion has to go to other committees then back to City Council before it will get a final vote. They are working on the wording. A Latina politician made it seem earlier that the motion wasn't passed. I think she was just trying to appease the cowboys for the press. </div><div><br /></div><div>Another thing to consider here is these events aren't just dangerous and cruel for animals. They're also dangerous for humans especially young people. They break their necks, backs, ankles or die. Surely there is better entertainment than watching people hurt themselves and animals. How about just Latino cultural events on horseback with mariachis, folklorico dancers, great food, singing, native arts. This is what they replaced bullfighting with in Mexico and Spain. </div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://mynewsla.com/government/2023/12/05/city-council-oks-proposal-to-ban-rodeos-from-la-with-some-exceptions-2/">https://mynewsla.com/government/2023/12/05/city-council-oks-proposal-to-ban-rodeos-from-la-with-some-exceptions-2/</a></div><div><br /></div><div>ORIGINAL: Los Angeles City had a meeting today December 5, 2023 about banning rodeos in the city limits. Originally the motion was going to be to just ban cattle prods and other cruel rodeo tools but then they decided to just ban rodeos. The item is Council File: 20-1575 Inhumane Implements / Electric Prods or Shocking Devices / Flank or Bucking Straps / Wire Tiedowns / Sharpened or Fixed Spurs or Rowels / Prohibition / Rodeo Events. Here is a link to the LA City org file. <a href="https://cityclerk.lacity.org/lacityclerkconnect/index.cfm?fa=ccfi.viewrecord&cfnumber=20-1575">https://cityclerk.lacity.org/lacityclerkconnect/index.cfm?fa=ccfi.viewrecord&cfnumber=20-1575</a></div><div><br /></div><div>Let me preface this by saying I'm Latina. My family is from Mexico. I speak Spanish. My family had horses and a ranch in Mexico. I understand the language and culture. I also know a lot about rodeos and farm animals. I went through the police academy and humane academy to become a Humane Officer to investigate and help prosecute cruelty to animals. Rodeos are cruel to animals. Animals are injured and killed. Bull fighting is also cruel. </div><div><br /></div><div>Today a few Mexican, Latino cowboys showed up at City Hall on horseback and called the media. They stated that the motion would ban their "cultural and traditional equestrian events." The motion was just to ban rodeos and not normal equestrian events that aren't cruel and lethal. </div><div><br /></div><div>Turns out the people were there to support Mexican rodeos. The Mexican Spanish term for rodeos is <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charrer%C3%ADa" target="_blank">charreria</a>. They do the same events as a regular rodeo. Below are some photos from Wikipedia of charreria. They lasso, grab, throw down and mistreat animals just like American rodeos. American rodeos came from Spanish rodeos. Our American cowboy came from the Spanish vaquero. </div><div><br /></div><div>Spaniards brought horses and farm animals to the new world, the Americas in the 1500's. They brought the rodeo culture and these same cruel events. Spaniards enslaved the indigenous people and forced them to become farm hands on their ranches. The farm hands on the different rancheros would compete against each other in these competitions. They were later called charrerua and cowboys were called charros. </div><div><br /></div><div>When Mexico became independent they still had the ranchero system which was basically slavery in the form of peasant wages which trapped people. These Mexicans, Latinos are today claiming this Spanish tradition is their wonderful indigenous Mexican culture and tradition. Bull fighting was also a Spanish, Mexican tradition which is outlawed in the US and many places in Mexico. Slavery is also outlawed. Raping your wife used to be legal. Just because something is a cultural traditional and used to be legal doesn't mean people should continue doing it.</div><div><br /></div><div>The City is going to allow more public input before they vote on the motion to ban rodeos in the city. The main reason why some people want rodeos and charrerias is of course money. A few businesses make a lot of money off these cruel events. They sell a lot of alcohol and tickets while animals are chased, wrangled, have their necks snapped, ankles broken and backs broken for human entertainment.</div><div><br /></div><div>I will post tomorrow where to send public comments and emails about this issue. </div><div><br /><div>"The Charreada consists of nine events for men and one for women, all involving horses, cattle, or both. These events are:</div><div><br /></div><div>1. Cala de Caballo (Reining) - Rider forces horse to run quickly then orders it to stop as fast as possible. They generally hit the horse with a stick to get it to run. They also do a pivot on one leg turning one direction then the next. Easy to break their legs.<br /><br /></div><div>2. Piales en Lienzo (Heeling) - A mare must be heeled by throwing a lariat to catch its hind legs.<br /><br /></div><div>3. Colas en el Lienzo or Coleadero (Steer Tailing) - A rider pursues a high-speed chase on a running steer down a narrow track. The riders’ goal is to grab the cow by the tail, wrap it around their leg or stirrup, then drag or violently slam the steer to the ground, full force, by making sharp turns.<br /><br /></div><div>4. Jineteo de Toro (Bull Riding) - Rider tries to ride a wild bull. They sometimes taze or hit it to get it go buck out of the gate. Bulls can break their backs and legs.<br /><br /></div><div>5. Terna en el Ruedo (Team Roping) - Team roping event in which three charros on horseback attempt to rope a bull - one by its neck, one by its hind legs, and the last then ties its feet together all in a maximum time limit of 6 minutes. They violently yank the neck of the bull and throw it down on the ground.<br /><br /></div><div>6. Jineteo de Yegua (Bareback on a Wild Mare) - same as bull riding.<br /><br /></div><div>7. Manganas a Pie (Forefooting) - a charro on foot (pie) given three opportunities and eight minutes to rope a horse with his lasso by its front legs and cause it to fall and roll once. <br /><br /></div><div>8. Manganas a Caballo or (Forefooting on Horseback) - same as above but from horseback. This is more violent and stressful as the horse is lasso'd, neck yanked and it's violently thrown to the ground on its back. <br /><br /></div><div>9. El Paso de la Muerte (The Pass of Death) - The pass of death in Spanish consist of a charro riding bareback with reins attempting to leap from his own horse to the bare back of a loose, unbroken horse without reins and ride it until it stops running. The events gets its name from the high amount of risk of the performance if done incorrectly since this movement can be fatal for the person who executes it since they can fall under the animal and be trampled by the three other riders who herd the animal. <br /><br /></div><div>10. Escaramuza (A Precision Display of Equestrian Skill for Women) - The only female equestrian event in the Mexican charrería. The escaramuza means "skirmish" and consists of a team riding horses in choreographed synchronized maneuvers to music. The women ride side-saddle and wear traditional Mexican outfit that include sombreros, dresses, and matching accessories. A team consists of 16 women, but only 8 ride at a time. The routine is practiced in a lienzo, or a circular arena. Some do dangerous maneuvers at high speed. Youngest is five years old.They do high speed heeling and use riding crops and sticks on the horses. Below is a photo of a woman doing high speed heeling.</div></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmQC-LKG8qGsZsOskAzBmcleODkiCuCsbYoXWo4X0VlJu1lxYPPJxOu1Ox1YeYpHTtUl96lwHT4TZR3vb7UpYYQcDxCz8UL2jbDqS5xomU35j5mvx7v1Bd8LYTRk_4lodYVp-myuycoBDdKMnOpLzZX-Sq2c30gOVJdT6iqQ44wSzd9mntsNYYTE_S/s800/800px-Escaramuza-22.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="544" data-original-width="800" height="218" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmQC-LKG8qGsZsOskAzBmcleODkiCuCsbYoXWo4X0VlJu1lxYPPJxOu1Ox1YeYpHTtUl96lwHT4TZR3vb7UpYYQcDxCz8UL2jbDqS5xomU35j5mvx7v1Bd8LYTRk_4lodYVp-myuycoBDdKMnOpLzZX-Sq2c30gOVJdT6iqQ44wSzd9mntsNYYTE_S/s320/800px-Escaramuza-22.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicSAoDq1Hlfaz5-1zKNK8TLvWnn1sgbXBOfZ817lskqi2eij-xuj0IemxIRSLdgy2BVbuT7HUDoKskV3R2FYSdsS7btnrtE95QWNoHC8pm6ogXX68LJyuOzQ7stVnWY2l0h-BRde6FLCbT7oXKz_PnDbU8YPzB6Vv5jqsSc2kmBctA30DsxufUPAZ0/s637/_Machomenos_.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="414" data-original-width="637" height="208" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicSAoDq1Hlfaz5-1zKNK8TLvWnn1sgbXBOfZ817lskqi2eij-xuj0IemxIRSLdgy2BVbuT7HUDoKskV3R2FYSdsS7btnrtE95QWNoHC8pm6ogXX68LJyuOzQ7stVnWY2l0h-BRde6FLCbT7oXKz_PnDbU8YPzB6Vv5jqsSc2kmBctA30DsxufUPAZ0/s320/_Machomenos_.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPmaaThvkF0Px5zM5bBg6wRakQevdDjMsN5fIOaW686TJfxXo-JYhf2cqZrMiYVPTZnNmAXUnwVJSbukv7sIHcnvn8P6o15qUT3eg1BXTVwK8oeC4X1yWzdgdMXL006eyreKXiEUjGX0IPiWm1nj8KvgH8WTwzWEug4pJOaxNEqScQ5twKp_FNlmBF/s815/CharroMexico.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="815" data-original-width="800" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPmaaThvkF0Px5zM5bBg6wRakQevdDjMsN5fIOaW686TJfxXo-JYhf2cqZrMiYVPTZnNmAXUnwVJSbukv7sIHcnvn8P6o15qUT3eg1BXTVwK8oeC4X1yWzdgdMXL006eyreKXiEUjGX0IPiWm1nj8KvgH8WTwzWEug4pJOaxNEqScQ5twKp_FNlmBF/s320/CharroMexico.jpg" width="314" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizngBadO6nQE2sTfAESoRz7YLxGcl51vYylmybxUHwsrRUR4FcdqK-asp6UBSM64BPnuYhktKGQwo7Ond0kNAF1wQUEtYbsCYSo3Og0ND2dtGOmheC2bvDNSo0Gf4pUUyEovKInpwt108ecHN4cGMEsr7vQHdmNpanUMTr9qzA1IFQ7Nv6otFXs_uQ/s967/ban%20rodeo.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="530" data-original-width="967" height="175" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizngBadO6nQE2sTfAESoRz7YLxGcl51vYylmybxUHwsrRUR4FcdqK-asp6UBSM64BPnuYhktKGQwo7Ond0kNAF1wQUEtYbsCYSo3Og0ND2dtGOmheC2bvDNSo0Gf4pUUyEovKInpwt108ecHN4cGMEsr7vQHdmNpanUMTr9qzA1IFQ7Nv6otFXs_uQ/s320/ban%20rodeo.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><a href="http://www.marycummins.com/">Mary Cummins</a> of <a href="http://www.animaladvocates.us/">Animal Advocates</a> is a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wildlife_rehabilitator">wildlife rehabilitator</a> licensed by the <a href="http://www.dfg.ca.gov/">California Department of Fish and Game</a> and the <a href="http://www.usda.gov/">USDA</a>. <a href="http://www.mary.cc/">Mary Cummins</a> is also a licensed real estate appraiser in Los Angeles, California.<br />

Every Week is "Urban Wildlife Week" for Animal Advocates because we care for ill, injured and orphaned native wildlife in the city of Los Angeles. We also educate the public about wildlife and offer help for people with nuisance wildlife.<br /><br /></div><div>People are sometimes surprised to see wildlife right in the middle of the city of Los Angeles. Not only does wildlife live in our city but they thrive here. Coyotes, deer, hawks, skunks, opossums, squirrels and more have adapted to live right alongside us in the city. They live in our backyards, in local parks and in adjacent open space. They eat fruit from our trees, live under our homes and even eat our trash.<br /><br /></div><div>Here are ten things you can do to help and coexist with urban wildlife. <br /><br /></div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>1. Watch and enjoy wildlife from afar but don't touch them or interfere. That means no selfies with deer or petting squirrels and skunks.</li><li>2. Plant native plants for the bees, birds and native wildlife to eat. Don't trim trees during wildlife baby season. Leave bird nests where you find them even if empty. No need to rake up all the leaves as insects nest in them.</li><li>3. Don't use pesticides, herbicides which can harm native wildlife.</li><li>4. Pick up trash so wildlife doesn't eat it and die from stomach blockage. Don't release balloons which sea animals, farm animals and birds can eat and die or become entangled.</li><li>5. Make sure your cat can't kill wildlife by keeping them in the house, a catio or walk them on a lead. Walk dogs on a leash for the same reasons. It also protects your pets from wildlife.</li><li>6. Don't feed wildlife. Fed wildlife can end up dead wildlife if they become a nuisance to others. This is especially true with bears, deer, raccoons, skunks and squirrels. Not everyone loves wildlife like we do. </li><li>7. Don't poison, trap or kill nuisance wildlife. Reduce nuisance wildlife by excluding and deterring them from your property. Don't give them access to food, water or shelter. Pick up dropped fruit, don't leave out pet food and lock your trash cans. Exclude wildlife from your home by securing your crawl space, under your deck and attic access.</li><li>8. If you find ill, injured or orphaned wildlife, contact a local wildlife rehabilitator. Here's a list. <a href="http://www.mary.cc/How%20To%20Locate%20a%20Wildlife%20Rehabilitator.html">http://www.mary.cc/How%20To%20Locate%20a%20Wildlife%20Rehabilitator.html</a></li><li>9. Volunteer with or donate to local wildlife and environment organizations. If you want to know what volunteering for a wildlife rehabilitator would be like, here our some of our free manuals. <a href="http://mary.cc/squirrels/rehabbers.html">http://mary.cc/squirrels/rehabbers.html</a></li><li>10.

During this month Americans celebrate the history, culture and contributions of Latino people to our nation. This 2023 year's theme is "Latinos: Driving Prosperity, Power, and Progress in America."</div><div><br /></div><div>Animal Advocates celebrates Latinos who have helped animals, the environment and wildlife. We celebrate Mexican American Animal Rights Activist Cesar Chavez. Chavez once said, “We need, in a special way, to work twice as hard to help people understand that the animals are fellow creatures, that we must protect them and love them as we love ourselves.”</div><div><br /></div><div>We celebrate Environment Activist Dolores Huerta. "In the fight to protect American farm workers Huerta exposed the country’s deepening reliance on pesticides and other chemicals that harm people and ecosystems. Her efforts to outlaw harmful pesticides catalyzed the environmental-justice movement."</div><div><br /></div><div>We celebrate our Latina founder Mary Cummins whose love of wildlife encouraged her to found Animal Advocates over 20 years ago in 2002. Her love of all animals came from her Mexican grandmother Maria Rivera Cummins. We also celebrate the first Latino Fish & Game Commissioner Michael Flores who promoted Latinos enjoyment of the outdoors. We also support <a href="https://latinooutdoors.org/" target="_blank">Latino Outdoors</a> who help connect Latinos to the great outdoors and <a href="https://www.greenlatinos.org/" target="_blank">Green Latinos</a> who work to protect our environment.</div><div><br /></div><div>Our community of animal lovers support our causes and champion for a better world for wildlife and the planet. One of our causes is to promote much needed diversity in Fish & Wildlife and Wildlife Rehabilitation. We also promote wildlife education in Spanish and English. We borrow the words of Dolores Huerta in saying ”¡Sí, Se Puede!" "Yes, we can!" accomplish these goals.</div><div><br /></div><div>Of course we celebrate our entire community and animal lovers world wide every day. As we primarily serve Los Angeles, California which is predominantly Latino we honor our Latino community during this special month.</div><div><br /></div><div>#HispanicHeritageMonth #LatinxHeritageMonth #HerenciaHispana #LatinoHeritageMonth #MesHerenciaHispana #NationalHispanicHeritageMonth #AnimalAdvocates #MaryCummins #Latino #Latinx #CesarChavez #DoloresHuerta #GreenLatinos #LatinosOutdoors #wildlife #wildliferehabilitation #wildliferehabilitator #wildliferescue #LosAngeles #California #Spanish #SiSePuede @AnimalAdvocatesUSA @MaryCummins </div><div><br /></div><div>*We use the term "hispanic" because that is the official name of the US heritage month. Other words that can be used are "latino," "latine," "latinx" ... The history of our nation is complex and controversial. The US was inhabited by Native Americans who were conquered and colonized by the Spanish, French, British and USA. September 15 is the day many Latin American countries gained their independence from their colonial occupations. We strive to respect and promote all people. </div></div><div><br /></div><a href="http://www.marycummins.com/">Mary Cummins</a> of <a href="http://www.animaladvocates.us/">Animal Advocates</a> is a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wildlife_rehabilitator">wildlife rehabilitator</a> licensed by the <a href="http://www.dfg.ca.gov/">California Department of Fish and Game</a> and the <a href="http://www.usda.gov/">USDA</a>. <a href="http://www.mary.cc/">Mary Cummins</a> is also a licensed real estate appraiser in Los Angeles, California.<br />

We have partnered with the city for nearly 60 years — conducting thousands of animal rescues, numerous recycling drives and many other events. We also have paid more than $146 million in lease payments to the city of San Diego since 2010. We appreciate all the city has done and we look forward to addressing this situation."</div><div><br /></div><div>The complaint filed in San Diego Superior Court states SeaWorld has underpaid rent between Jan. 1, 2019, and April 30, 2022.</div><div><br /></div><div>According to the San Diego City Attorney's Office, SeaWorld's minimum rent payments total $10.4 million annually, plus a 3% surcharge under the terms of its lease.</div><div><br /></div><div>"Although some 800 organizations have similar lease agreements with the city, SeaWorld is the only major city lessee that has remained in default of its rent obligations since the pandemic began," according to a city attorney's office statement.</div><div><br /></div><div>For more than 50 years, SeaWorld has enjoyed a prime spot along San Diego’s Mission Bay and a good relationship with the city. That may be changing. NBC 7's Audra Stafford has the details.</div><div>The San Diego City Council voted 8-0 in May to authorize litigation.</div><div><br /></div><div>"The city has a right to expect more from a 60-year partnership that has proven quite lucrative for SeaWorld," said San Diego City Attorney Mara Elliott. "City taxpayers — many of whom are legitimately struggling to recover from the global pandemic — should not have to absorb SeaWorld's debts and liabilities. We believe a court of law will agree."</div><div><br /></div><div>SeaWorld, which is headquartered in Orlando, Florida, owns 12 theme parks around the world, employs thousands of people, and welcomes millions of visitors. Last year, they generated $1.7 billion in profits. </div><div><br /></div><div>Chris Workman is an attorney who has handled many property rights cases but isn't involved directly in this dispute. He said the matter is a contractual dispute that will likely have to be resolved by a judge.

It was opened in 1912 and closed in 1966 when the zoo moved to it's current location. The bars on the enclosures were removed and the area turned into a picnic area. Currently Shakespeare in the Park is located in the immediate park area. </div><div><br /></div><div>The zoo was closed because people realized the enclosures were cruel and unnatural. Zoo science has come a long way since this time. Modern zoos are better equipped to house animals due to advancements in zoo science and research. Still, the best place for wild animals is in the wild where they belong.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhui0gSlcAGxB2Raz5hpPUGj9TSctlGpkyChtekAgq5x1ncsfZ3Th-9qcHYogjXW6nCI4L6C8WFXfyj5SBRlAkyvl13HLE4DHUse3fxSgV2hSnQlG3dUqwNFfmWNQh_ju5muTDCMu4iG6aoR7VE2Xd2o9w0idrhfx_iERGamWFqS5ftBB8GlVEyFI5p/s960/3.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

I almost died from accidental exposure to anti-coagulant bait in 2003 in San Buenaventura, California during a California Department of Fish & Wildlife cleanup. I strongly support the <a href="https://legiscan.com/CA/text/AB1322/id/2827676" target="_blank">California Ecosystems Protection Act of 2023 (AB 1322)</a> that protects California wildlife and communities against harmful rodenticides.</div><div><br /></div><div>Mountain lion P22 died from anticoagulant-related nephropathy which resulted in bleeding in the kidneys which causes kidney failure. Anticoagulant exposure was also the cause of P22's mite infestation. This poison killed P22! (Necropsy report, findings) <a href="https://animaladvocatesmarycummins.blogspot.com/2023/06/op-ed-mountain-lion-p-22-killed-by.html">https://animaladvocatesmarycummins.blogspot.com/2023/06/op-ed-mountain-lion-p-22-killed-by.html</a></div><div><br /></div><div>Anticoagulant rodenticides are poisoning California wildlife and have been documented in at least 38 nontarget species including the critically endangered San Joaquin kit fox and California condor. The problem is so severe that over 70% of wildlife tested in California are exposed to rodenticides. National Park Service researchers have documented the presence of anticoagulant rodenticides in 39 out of 40 mountain lions tested in the Santa Monica Mountains, which are already threatened with local extinction from habitat fragmentation and lack of wildlife connectivity. In September 2022, the four unborn kittens of a pregnant mountain lion named P-54 also tested positive for anticoagulant rodenticides.</div><div><br /></div><div>AB 1322 is desperately needed to extend the existing moratorium on dangerous second generation anticoagulant rodenticides and strengthen future restrictions on anticoagulant rodenticides, including the first generation anticoagulant diphacinone, to better protect wildlife, children, and pets.</div><div> </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>--</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Mary Cummins</div><div>President</div><div>Animal Advocates</div><div>Wildlife Rescue, Rehabilitation, Education</div><div><a href="http://www.facebook.com/AnimalAdvocatesUSA">http://www.facebook.com/AnimalAdvocatesUSA</a></div><div><a href="http://www.AnimalAdvocates.us">http://www.AnimalAdvocates.us</a> </div></div><div><br /></div><a href="http://www.marycummins.com/">Mary Cummins</a> of <a href="http://www.animaladvocates.us/">Animal Advocates</a> is a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wildlife_rehabilitator">wildlife rehabilitator</a> licensed by the <a href="http://www.dfg.ca.gov/">California Department of Fish and Game</a> and the <a href="http://www.usda.gov/">USDA</a>. <a href="http://www.mary.cc/">Mary Cummins</a> is also a licensed real estate appraiser in Los Angeles, California.<br />

There was no hike and no tour or view of the crossing. We stood on a dirt road near the loud freeway while the docent just read from a paper for 30 minutes. What she read was on the website. Wasted drive and carbon foot print. Everyone was upset at the end of the event when we asked when do we see the crossing. We were told just drive on the freeway. Everyone drove on the freeway to get there so what was the point.

You can hike from only the south side. Ignore the north route I drew above. The south has a cleared hiking trail all the time. The north side has no view point at all. I hiked it personally and you can't see the crossing from that side because of a ridge. You can see it by walking on the side of the freeway on the north side but that's illegal.<div><br /></div><div>South side hike is 1,300 feet up a hill on a cleared hiking trail. GPS start 34.136984400411855, -118.72892708553738 GPS end 34.13617430519416, -118.73339603254912 . You park on the road which is 27571 Agoura Rd, Agoura Hills, California 91301. There are signs there showing you the hike. There are two great view sites just 100 ft up the trail. It's called Abrams Trailhead on the map. No need to go to the top. Unfortunately you can only see the two side retaining walls and the top of the middle platform from the south side. </div><div><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

There is patchy alopecia and poor hair coat along the ventral neck, face, ears, distal tail (distal 25 cm), and distal limbs and feet. Two</div><div>black, hairless, soft, pedunculated skin nodules are present on the dorsal neck which are 2 x 1.3 x 1.2 cm and 1 x 0.9 x 0.4 cm. A 3.6 x 1.7 cm area of</div><div>alopecia caudal to the right eye also has 2 scabs. The right eye has patchy hemorrhage in the dorsal sclera and conjunctiva, and areas of redness overlying</div><div>the lateral aspect of the iris within the eye. A small scab is present on the skin over the dorsal aspect of the left eye orbit. Along the right ventral mandible is</div><div>a 2 x 0.6 cm crusted ulceration with edema and tan discoloration of the underlying subcutis. Areas of alopecia (~5 x 2 cm) are present over both hips, and</div><div>there is a 1 x 0.8 cm abrasion along the lateral metatarsal region of the right hindfoot. Multiple claws are frayed. There is a 0.5 cm diameter skin incision</div><div>along the left medial aspect of the stifle (antemortem skin biopsy). Within the right frontal sinus is a small amount of brown clotted blood. The zygomatic</div><div>process of the right frontal bone surrounding the right ocular orbit has multiple chip fractures with mild associated hemorrhage.</div><div>There is mild hemorrhage in the subcutis and muscle along the lateral aspect of the right shoulder and proximal humerus. Some hemorrhage is also present</div><div>around the left jugular venipuncture site in the neck. Fractures of the transverse process of the 7th cervical vertebra and acromion process of the right</div><div>scapula noted on CT scan are not readily identified grossly. A thin (<1 mm diameter), approximately 2.5 cm long silver metallic wire foreign body is</div><div>embedded along the internal aspect of the caudoventral abdominal midline. The reported metallic pellet in the region of the left hip on CT scan is not found.</div><div>Negative pressure is absent in the thorax on opening the abdominal cavity. The lungs are diffusely collapsed and pink. The heart is 218.9 g (0.498% of body</div><div>weight), and the mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened and smoothly nodular. There is a 3 x 2.5 cm hole in the right ventral aspect of the diaphragm</div><div>through which a portion of omentum (approximately half) is herniated into the right thoracic cavity. The margin of this diaphragmatic tear is smooth and</div><div>rounded with no evidence of hemorrhage. An approximately 1 cm diameter dark red nodule also bulges into this tear which is adjacent to a second</div><div>approximately 5 cm diameter tear centrally in the diaphragm. This tear also has smooth edges, and through it bulges into the thoracic cavity a roughly 9 cm</div><div>diameter x 4 cm thick section of liver which is discolored and mottled shades of tan, orange and red. There are tight adhesions between the left crus of the</div><div>diaphragm and the left lateral lobe of the liver. Pleura and connective tissue is tightly adhered to and encapsulates the intrathoracic herniated portion of liver,</div><div>which appears to be a portion of the left medial lobe or papillary process of the caudate lobe. The cystic duct of the gallbladder is sigmoid in shape. The liver</div><div>is 1.4 kg (3.2% of body weight), subjectively enlarged with rounded lobe margins, and is diffusely dark tan with a moderately enhanced reticular pattern.</div><div>A perihepatic lymph node is mildly enlarged at 7 x 1.5 x 0.7 cm, and the mesenteric lymph nodes are similarly prominent. The spleen is diffusely enlarged,</div><div>dark red, and congested (presumed euthanasia artifact). The medullae of both kidneys have mild pale tan streaking to the renal crests. Numerous long</div><div>cestodes are present throughout the small intestine. In the dorsal peripheral aspect of the left thyroid gland is a soft, brown, 0.9 x 0.8 x 0.7 cystic nodule</div><div>filled with brown cloudy fluid.</div><div>crown-rump: 110 cm</div><div>subcutaneous fat amount: small</div><div>pericardial fat amount: small</div><div>abdominal fat amount: moderate</div><div>digestive system content:</div><div>stomach: full of soft digesta containing abundant fur and some fragments of bone and pieces of hay</div><div>small intestine: thick pale yellow fluid and small boluses of fur and hay with numerous long (>20 cm) cestodes</div><div>cecum: pasty brown feces containing abundant fur</div><div>large intestine: formed feces containing abundant fur</div><div>lymph nodes examined: mandibular, axillary, tracheobronchial, mesenteric, perihepatic/peripancreatic</div><div>joints examined: atlanto-occipital, right shoulder, left hip, left and right stifles</div><div>Preliminary dx:</div><div>1.

Supporting the diagnosis of recent trauma (hit by car 6 days prior to euthanasia) was the histologic</div><div>appearance of the right orbital fracture and gross evidence of hemorrhage in the adjacent frontal sinus and right eye. The suspected intraocular hemorrhage</div><div>was not present in the examined histologic section of this eye, however, which appeared within normal limits. An inflamed tract/wound along the right</div><div>mandible could also have been related to this traumatic event, though it could also have been more chronic. The diaphragmatic tears, through which</div><div>omentum and a portion of liver were herniated into the thoracic cavity, appeared to be of much longer duration with smooth margins, mature fibrous</div><div>adhesions, and chronic changes in the affected liver lobe. These were presumably the result of previous trauma, the exact timing of which cannot be</div><div>determined from the gross or histologic appearance. Although there was evidence of a degree of chronic vascular compromise to the herniated lobe, the</div><div>remaining majority of the liver was unaffected and relatively normal histologically.</div><div>A presumed major contributor to the deteriorating condition was skin disease. Heavy colonization of hair follicles with dermatophytes and Demodex sp.</div><div>mites was seen in all examined sections of skin (face, neck, hip, foot). These combined infections account for the poor condition of the hair coat and</div><div>probably some of the systemic inflammatory response evident in the bloodwork and histologically as myeloid hyperplasia and circulating neutrophilia. The</div><div>intrafollicular location of the Demodex mites is more consistent with D. cati or the third feline Demodex sp. as opposed to D. gatoi, which colonizes the</div><div>stratum corneum. Generalized D. cati infections suggest underlying immunosuppression or other disease. A Microsporum canis species was identified from</div><div>antemortem hair samples and is consistent with the fungal/dermatophyte lesions seen, which included both extensive hair colonization and rare microscopic</div><div>pseudomycetomas in skin, tonsil, and axillary lymph node. The latter finding is interesting evidence of lymphatic spread of the M. canis infection beyond the</div><div>skin, although the lesions were few and small.</div><div>Consistent with the advancing age of this animal, there were a variety of relatively mild, non-specific, age-related changes, including valvular endocardiosis,</div><div>arteriosclerosis, and renal disease. The renal changes seen primarily involved glomeruli and could be related to chronic inflammation (such as from the skin</div><div>disease) or cardiovascular disease, such as hypertension. Glomerular injury accounts for the reported proteinuria. Findings of undetermined cause and</div><div>significance included regional gastritis and a small pulmonary venous thrombus. The gastric inflammation involved the pylorus (or possibly the cardia) and</div><div>was neutrophilic and damaging to the glands, some of which contained Helicobacter-type spiral bacteria. No other parasites were seen in the stomach. A</div><div>specific cause was therefore not identified, but recent stress and Helicobacter could have been involved. In the small intestine, moderate numbers of</div><div>cestodes were probably incidental.</div><div>Toxicologic analysis of a liver sample for rodenticides (performed by CAHFS) found 5 anticoagulant rodenticides at varying concentrations as well as a trace</div><div>amount of bromethalin. Despite exposure to multiple compounds, two at relatively high levels (diphacinone and bromadiolone), there was no evidence of</div><div>abnormal hemorrhage that would suggest a coagulopathy due to toxicosis. Bromethalin does not typically result in histologic lesions, but no clinical</div><div>(neurologic) signs of bromethalin toxicosis were reported antemortem.</div></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><a href="http://www.marycummins.com/">Mary Cummins</a> of <a href="http://www.animaladvocates.us/">Animal Advocates</a> is a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wildlife_rehabilitator">wildlife rehabilitator</a> licensed by the <a href="http://www.dfg.ca.gov/">California Department of Fish and Game</a> and the <a href="http://www.usda.gov/">USDA</a>. <a href="http://www.mary.cc/">Mary Cummins</a> is also a licensed real estate appraiser in Los Angeles, California.<br />

When children see and pet farm animals they are more likely to care about them and their welfare. If they pet them like they do a cat or dog, they will grow up caring more about them. They may even put two and two together and realize hamburgers, hotdogs are cows and pigs. Chicken is a real live chicken. Eggs come out of chickens. Milk comes out of cows. Eventually they may not want to eat them which is better for their health, environment and the animals.<div><br /></div><div>I went to a petting zoo when I was maybe five or six. I pet chickens, cows, pigs and had a great time. Then I went to lunch with my Nana. When we were ordering food it finally clicked. Chicken on the menu was the cute live chicken I just pet at the petting zoo. I asked my Nana if "chicken" was actually the animal chicken. She said "yes." She also told me that hamburgers were cows and hotdogs were pigs. I was soooooo grossed out. I said I didn't want to eat my friends. She was fine with that so I ate rice and beans which is what we ate at home. Eventually I learned about eggs and didn't want those either. Same with milk.<br /><div><br /></div><div>I also support humane and legal farm sanctuaries. The thing about farm sanctuaries is you are basically preaching to the choir unless it's a school field trip. People who go to farm sanctuaries are generally already vegan. You aren't necessarily educating non-vegans who most need the exposure and education. Petting zoos are at fairs, events, road sides, farmers markets where families have easy access. They're generally also free. You just pay for animal feed. Most farm sanctuaries are on agriculturally zoned land far out of cities and towns. I personally think a farm sanctuary should offer petting zoos to some major county fairs. They'd get more exposure and more animals can be saved or at least treated better.</div><div><br /></div><div>When children are with animals including farm animals they learn respect, compassion and empathy for animals. If they pet or brush them, they learn to care for and about them. Children experience sensory development, motor skills development, language development and learn social skills. There is a lot of research which shows the benefits of animals for children. All of these benefits also benefit animals because children end up caring more about them.</div><div><br /></div><div>I don't support illegal inhumane unpermitted petting zoos. You need a <a href="https://www.aphis.usda.gov/aphis/ourfocus/animalwelfare/apply/licensing-and-registration-application-packets" target="_blank">USDA exhibit permit</a> for a petting zoo. You also need a city and county permit from animal control. There are regulations no matter what lies an ill informed activist tells you. There are USDA and other animal regulations that cover petting zoo and animals. They are covered by federal, state and local animal abuse, neglect, and cruelty statutes. </div><div><br /></div><div>Petting zoo animals are not for consumption. They are not food animals because they most likely have received medications over their life span. They will also be injected with euthanasia drugs when they are dying which makes it illegal to use them for food. Animals must be cared for legally and properly. I want children and others to see healthy farm animals who are well cared for and treated. I want people to realize they are living, breathing, sentient beings and not just fried chicken, hamburgers and hotdogs. </div><div><br /></div><div>A humane petting zoo or farm sanctuary limits the number of children in the pen at one time. They also limit the time each animal is in the pen. Some animals love being pet and some don't. Clearly they should only use animals that enjoy it. That's why there are mainly goats and sheep. Bunnies are too sensitive and shouldn't be in petting zoos. Chickens could be in another pen with more protection. There must be sun protection and protection from heat, cold, rain, weather. There must be adequate food and water available.</div><div><br /></div><div>There should be proper hand washing stations and instructions so zoonotic diseases aren't spread. That is the law which is generally enforced by the State Agricultural Department and County Health Departments. If the zoo is at a fair, there are other regulations. If it's in a farmer's market, there are even more regulations. If they sell food in the area, there are even more regulations. There are generally a few people inside the pen to enforce all the regulations. </div><div><br /></div><div>Petting zoos have their own regulations such as no picking up animals, no chasing, no pulling, no hitting, no riding, no running, no screaming... Parents must be in there with their children. Children under certain ages aren't allowed for health reasons. No food or drink in the pen except the animal feed. No smoking, toys, pacifiers, strollers, baby bottles, weapons, alcohol... No touching the animals food or water. The zookeepers don't want their animals stressed or harmed. It's their business and they generally really care about their animal if it's a humane zoo.<br /><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div><br /><div><br /></div><a href="http://www.marycummins.com/">Mary Cummins</a> of <a href="http://www.animaladvocates.us/">Animal Advocates</a> is a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wildlife_rehabilitator">wildlife rehabilitator</a> licensed by the <a href="http://www.dfg.ca.gov/">California Department of Fish and Game</a> and the <a href="http://www.usda.gov/">USDA</a>. <a href="http://www.mary.cc/">Mary Cummins</a> is also a licensed real estate appraiser in Los Angeles, California.<br />

She was raised at a breeders then sold to a lab. She lived in the lab for less than a year. In 1995 when she was one year old she was sent to exotic animal rescue</div><div>Wildlife Waystation here in California. There was no solid secure roof originally which is against USDA and Fish & Wildlife regulations. Some of the chimps escaped so they were forced to add a secure roof. It wasn't all a solid roof. It was also chain link just like the sides. The chimps could see the sky through the roof and sides, see photo below. It was actually a pretty large enclosure. This is just an upper loft area.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLSaXgJwcN4BlOtAYjCOfsdwThbh56DKVVSrgwLyl9kY7bEhufoZOEgAmLBlttv79LHpEnRKtwZLiv7SVIDx68dOYfR-XxBxN3zSmsjRfzjj2Hh7qYrBlGVVf03lFfBSvEmI0q-7Fv8E8ugcJu2sMFyMtYOkeigZffWgs2hYZJDwwuO5wBHkN5YzBB/s300/download%20(1).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="168" data-original-width="300" height="168" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLSaXgJwcN4BlOtAYjCOfsdwThbh56DKVVSrgwLyl9kY7bEhufoZOEgAmLBlttv79LHpEnRKtwZLiv7SVIDx68dOYfR-XxBxN3zSmsjRfzjj2Hh7qYrBlGVVf03lFfBSvEmI0q-7Fv8E8ugcJu2sMFyMtYOkeigZffWgs2hYZJDwwuO5wBHkN5YzBB/s1600/download%20(1).jpg" width="300" /></a></div><br /><div>Vanilla the chimp is most likely just in awe she could see the sky again after being in quarantine for six months indoors. She looks like me after I've been inside for a couple of days working and I go outside and see a beautiful day. The article also forgets that Vanilla is still in captivity.</div><div><br /></div><div>A lot of these places make up stories to go viral to get mega donations. This place already raised $4,000,000 just to take the Wildlife Waystation chimps, <a href="https://ktla.com/news/local-news/last-of-the-stranded-wildlife-waystation-chimpanzees-finally-relocated">https://ktla.com/news/local-news/last-of-the-stranded-wildlife-waystation-chimpanzees-finally-relocated</a>/ . They refused to take the chimps unless they were given millions of dollars. Martine Colette did the same when she first took the 32 chimps from the lab. Now they make another story to get more donations. They have a board, employees to be paid so they need to raise massive amounts of money. In the end animals are saved so that's all that really matters. Still, the truth would be nice.</div><div><span face=""Open Sans", "Open Sans-fallback"" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 16px;"><br /></span></div><div><span face=""Open Sans", "Open Sans-fallback"" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 16px;"><br />"Vanilla, a 28-year-old chimpanzee, has lived her entire life in captivity without an unobscured view of the sky.

The necropsy report (<a href="https://wildlife.ca.gov/News/final-necropsy-results-released-for-mountain-lion-p-22">https://wildlife.ca.gov/News/final-necropsy-results-released-for-mountain-lion-p-22</a>) was released June 14, 2023. It showed his death was caused by exposure to anticoagulant poison and traumatic injury.</div><div><br /></div><div>The report stated he suffered "recent trauma to his head and right eye, including an orbital fracture." He had "older, significant trauma, including a diaphragmatic rupture, through which the liver and sections of connective tissue from the abdomen had herniated and were inside his chest cavity." The injuries were most likely from a car strike.</div><div><br /></div><div>He was "underweight, arthritic and had progressive and incurable kidney disease." He had "a severe parasitic skin infection over his entire body, caused by demodectic mange and a fungus, specifically ringworm." Toxicology "revealed exposure to five anticoagulant rodenticides compounds."</div><div><br /></div><div>Research has shown that long term exposure to anticoagulant poison causes the immune system to be suppressed. The body is no longer able to fight off common parasitic infections such as mites and ringworm. The poison also causes anticoagulant-related nephropathy and results in bleeding in the kidneys which causes kidney failure. Over time the animal becomes weak, dehydrated and unable to easily procure prey animals. This causes the animals to more easily be hit by cars. Poison ultimately killed P-22.</div><div><br /></div><div>All of the bobcats, foxes, coyotes that we've taken into our wildlife rehabilitation facility over the last 20 years that were hit by cars had major mange mite infestations. They were thin, weak, dehydrated and had poor coat condition just like P22. This was caused by the animals eating poisoned animals. Poisoned animals are easier to catch than healthy ones. People use anticoagulant poison to kill ground squirrels, gophers and rats around homes, golf courses and parks. You can clearly see the poison bait stations scattered all around Griffith Park where P-22 lived. We've taken in many poisoned animals from this park.</div><div><br /></div><div>The main causes of mountain lion deaths are depredation permits, poison and auto collisions. A depredation permit is a permit to kill a specific mountain lion after they have injured or killed someone's pet or farm animal. The owner of the dead animal requests the permit and a hunter shoots it dead. Some estimate there were or are about 4,000 mountain lions in California. From 2001 to 2018 1,400 were killed by depredation permits per Fish & Wildlife.</div><div><br /></div><div>The other main cause of death is poison. 96% of mountain lions that have been tested have been exposed to anticoagulant poison per Fish & Wildlife. They are poisoned for their entire lives if they live near human development. This causes kidney failure besides many other health issues similar to what P22 suffered. Poisoned animals are more likely to be hit by cars.</div><div><br /></div><div>Fish & Wildlife has tried to limit the poisoning but failed because pesticides are not under their jurisdiction. Depredation permits are under their jurisdiction. We need state politicians to step up and call for an emergency injunction to all depredation permits. There also must be tougher restrictions on the use of anticoagulant poison outdoors where non-target wildlife can be poisoned. I've witnessed coyotes sitting right outside poison stations in Griffith Park waiting for the animals to exit so they can eat them.</div><div><br /></div><div>While wildlife crossings will help some wildlife it may cause others to encroach deeper into developed parts of the city increasing their risk of being killed by depredation permits, poisoning and car strikes. One can only hope our local mountain lions use them to exit the city instead of entering. We owe it to P22 and all of Los Angeles' wildlife to do better. For years people have complained about poison and depredation permits yet nothing has changed. Maybe P22's cruel and agonizing death will be the impetus Los Angeles needs to finally change things.</div><div><br /></div><div>Mary Cummins</div><div>President</div><div><br /></div><div>#P22 #mountainlion #puma #marycummins #losangeles #california #griffithpark #cougar #poison #rodenticides #rodenticide #anticoagulantes #anticoagulant #ratpoison </div></div><div><br /></div><a href="http://www.marycummins.com/">Mary Cummins</a> of <a href="http://www.animaladvocates.us/">Animal Advocates</a> is a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wildlife_rehabilitator">wildlife rehabilitator</a> licensed by the <a href="http://www.dfg.ca.gov/">California Department of Fish and Game</a> and the <a href="http://www.usda.gov/">USDA</a>. <a href="http://www.mary.cc/">Mary Cummins</a> is also a licensed real estate appraiser in Los Angeles, California.<br />

He died as a result of being hit by a car and long term poisoning. He had five different types of anticoagulant poison in his liver, blood and fat. Research has shown that poison causes permanent organ damage especially to the kidneys. Anticoagulants cause serious kidney damage called anticoagulant-related nephropathy (ARN) and results from bleeding in the kidneys. Poison also causes immunosuppression which causes the body to not be able to defend itself from common mites and other conditions. The poison caused P22 to become ill and weak which is most likely why he came closer to humans looking for easier prey. When they become lethargic from the poison they are more easily hit by cars. Poison killed P-22. We must stop poisoning wildlife. Poison and depredation permits cause 100x more mountain lion deaths than cars. <div><br /></div><div>In July of 2011, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife requested California Department of Pesticide Regulation (CDPR) restrict the use of anticoagulant rodenticides due to numerous incidents involving direct and indirect poisoning of wildlife. Nothing was done. They requested the same in 1999. While CDFW has no jurisdiction over pesticides they do control depredation permits for mountain lions. In light of the many deaths from poison no new depredation permits should be allowed. An emergency injunction is needed. <a href="https://animaladvocatesmarycummins.blogspot.com/2019/10/1700-mountain-lions-killed-in.html" target="_blank">1,700 mountain lions have been killed in California with depredation permits</a> from 2001 to 2018. Population estimates were 4,000 total in California. 42% were killed by people who were not willing to protect their pets or farm animals with proper barns or fencing.<br /><div><br /></div><div>We did a State Information Act Request to the California Department of Fish & Wildlife for the necropsy report immediately after P22's death. They repeatedly stalled and stalled stating it was a lot of information to compile and would take more time than allowed by the law. The report was finished within days of P22's death. We've had wildlife necropsied at the same state lab that did P22's toxicology report. It takes a few days max. Immediately after finally writing up a lawsuit to compel production of the information act request they department released the report publicly.</div><div><br /></div><div>California Department of Fish & Wildlife Press Release About P-22 Necropsy Report<br /><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://wildlife.ca.gov/News/final-necropsy-results-released-for-mountain-lion-p-22">https://wildlife.ca.gov/News/final-necropsy-results-released-for-mountain-lion-p-22</a></div><div><br /></div><div>Joint news release with National Parks Service</div><div><br /><div>The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) and National Park Service (NPS) reviewed the final postmortem examination and lab tests from P-22, the beloved mountain lion from Griffith Park. The results confirmed P-22 had been suffering from multiple severe injuries and chronic conditions that impaired his ability to function in the wild and would have lowered his quality of life if placed in human care.</div><div><br /></div><div>P-22 was captured and anesthetized by CDFW and NPS on December 12, 2022, after scientists noted a recent change in his behavior.</div><div><br /></div><div>He was transported to the Los Angeles Zoo for initial examination and treatment, then transferred to the San Diego Zoo Safari Park for follow-up evaluation, including a computed tomography (CT) scan, where it was discovered that he had serious injuries and health problems. He was euthanized under general anesthesia on December 17, 2022.</div><div><br /></div><div>The postmortem examination was completed by veterinary pathologists at the San Diego Zoo.</div><div><br /></div><div>"We are grateful to the San Diego Zoo Safari Park and Los Angeles Zoo teams," said Deana Clifford, a senior wildlife veterinarian for CDFW. "They provided excellent care for P-22 and conducted a detailed postmortem examination that shed plenty of light on this cat's condition."</div><div><br /></div><div>Some findings demonstrated that P-22 had recent trauma to his head and right eye, including an orbital fracture with bleeding and early stages of scar tissue development. This is consistent with reports of a vehicle strike the night before he was captured.</div><div><br /></div><div>P-22 also had injuries consistent with older, significant trauma, including a diaphragmatic rupture, through which the liver and sections of connective tissue from the abdomen had herniated and were inside his chest cavity.</div><div><br /></div><div>Pathologists determined that this injury was older than the injury to his face and eye due to differences in the stages of scarification associated with each injury.</div><div><br /></div><div>The examination also confirmed that he was underweight, arthritic and had progressive and incurable kidney disease, as determined before his death. He also had a severe parasitic skin infection over his entire body, caused by demodectic mange and a fungus, specifically ringworm. This is the first documentation of a demodectic mange infection and a concurrent systemic ringworm infection in a California mountain lion.</div><div><br /></div><div>Toxicology testing on his liver at the California Animal Health and Food Safety Laboratory (CAHFS) UC Davis revealed exposure to five anticoagulant rodenticides (AR) compounds. However, he had no evidence of AR poisoning (i.e., unexplained bleeding, injury, illness or death due to exposure to the toxicants).</div><div><br /></div><div>These include first-generation ARs, diphacinone and chlorophacinone, and longer-lasting and faster-acting second-generation ARs, brodifacoum, bromadiolone and difethialone. Diphacinone was also detected in a sample of P-22's blood collected after he was captured, which may indicate recent exposure. Diphacinone was also detected in P-22's blood in 2014 when he was captured by NPS biologists and treated for a different skin infection caused by notoedric mange.</div><div><br /></div><div>A separate CDFW study tested 247 mountain lions at the CAHFS lab. It showed that 96 percent of tested animals had exposure to one or more ARs. While felids tend to be more resistant to AR poisoning, there have been at least seven AR-related mortalities in Southern California mountain lions over the last 19 years.</div><div><br /></div><div>Additionally, desmethylbromethalin, the toxic metabolite of bromethalin, was detected in his body fat. Bromethalin is a widely available rodenticide that targets the brain and affects the central nervous system. Signs of bromethalin poisoning include muscle tremors, seizures, hind limb paralysis, respiratory paralysis and eventually death. There was no indication that bromethalin exposure resulted in poisoning on P-22 medical or pathologic exam. How P-22 was exposed to bromethalin, directly or secondarily through prey, is unknown. However, it is believed to be the latter.</div><div><br /></div><div>P-22 was likely born in the Santa Monica Mountains as the son of adult male P-1. NPS biologists first captured and radio-collared P-22 in March 2012 when he was estimated to be two years old. He was one of the most senior mountain lions in a study the NPS has conducted since 2002.</div><div><br /></div><div>He persisted for more than 10 years in Griffith Park and in the smallest home range that has ever been recorded for an adult male mountain lion. But life on this tiny “island” did not come without consequence. After crossing two of the busiest freeways in the world, 101 and 405, he would unknowingly become isolated and never produce offspring. His movements and access to natural habitat and prey would be restricted, putting him at increased risk for interactions with people, collisions with cars and exposure to rodenticides. As extraordinary as P-22’s life was - surviving against all odds - it is an increasingly common reality for wildlife.</div><div><br /></div><div>"P-22 was a fascinating animal to study," said Jeff Sikich, the lead field biologist of the NPS mountain lion study. "Not only was he an important ambassador for urban wildlife, but his scientific contributions were also many. He helped us understand how mountain lions coexist with humans in this complex urban landscape, and his legacy will live on through our heightened awareness of how to live in harmony with wild neighbors and growing public support for wildlife crossings."</div></div><div><br /></div><div>Below is the redacted summary of the necropsy report</div><div><br /><a href="https://nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FileHandler.ashx?DocumentID=213142&inline">https://nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FileHandler.ashx?DocumentID=213142&inline</a></div><div><br /></div><div><div>"P-22 Necropsy summary for SDZWA Communications<br /><br /></div><div>History, medical findings and medical decisions have been previously summarized and shared.</div><div>A full post mortem examination was completed by the SDZWA Disease Investigations</div><div>department, including gross examination, microscopic examination and ancillary diagnostic</div><div>testing.</div><div><br /></div><div>The post mortem findings are consistent with the animal’s history of recent trauma and confirm</div><div>the findings from the extensive diagnostic work up. There were a myriad of acute and chronic</div><div>medical conditions that contributed to declining health status.</div><div><br /></div><div>Consistent with recent trauma, there was a fracture of the right orbital bone and gross evidence</div><div>of hemorrhage in the frontal sinus and right eye. The microscopic appearance of the right</div><div>orbital fracture included early fibrosis, supporting the time-frame of being hit-by-car 6 days prior</div><div>to euthanasia.</div><div><br /></div><div>Consistent with older trauma, there were tears in the diaphragm, through which liver and</div><div>omentum had herniated into the chest cavity. The presence of mature fibrous adhesions</div><div>(scarring) indicated this injury was longer standing. There was evidence of chronic vascular</div><div>compromise to the herniated liver lobe, while the remaining liver was microscopically within</div><div>normal limits.</div><div><br /></div><div>There was significant, multifactorial skin disease causing the poor condition of the hair coat.
