Vanilla the chimp at Save The Chimps story not true by Mary Cummins

vanilla the chimp,vanilla, chimp, chimpanzee, mary cummins, wildlife waystation, los angeles, california, save the chimps, lies, false, not true,"sees the sky for the first time in her life," 1995, lab, 2023, florida, island



You've probably all heard the story about Vanilla the 28 year old chimp seeing the sky "for the first time in her life" at Save the Chimps.That's not true. 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
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.


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.

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, https://ktla.com/news/local-news/last-of-the-stranded-wildlife-waystation-chimpanzees-finally-relocated/ . 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.


"Vanilla, a 28-year-old chimpanzee, has lived her entire life in captivity without an unobscured view of the sky. But now, a heartwarming new video shows the great ape seeing the sky for the first time at an island chimp sanctuary in Florida.

For a portion of her early life, Vanilla lived inside a New York biomedical research facility, where she and dozens of other chimps (Pan troglodytes) were housed in small cages "suspended from the ground like bird cages," according to a statement from Save the Chimps, a sanctuary in Fort Pierce, Florida, that rescued her and 29 of her peers.

After being removed from the New York facility in 1995, Vanilla and other captive chimps were shipped to the Wildlife Waystation, an animal rescue facility in California that shuttered in 2019, where she was boxed inside a roofed enclosure, cut off from the outside world, according to the Daily Mail."

Who is Ezra James, Ezra Lee James who lit a raccoon in a trap on fire for eating his mangoes?

Ezra James, Ezra Lee James, Palm Bay, Florida, raccoon, fire, burned to death, murder, mary cummins, animal advocates, brevard county, court records, jail, arrest, jamaica, 88 years old, felony, charged, aggravated

UPDATE: 12/13/2018 Defendant Ezra James pleaded nolo contendere to one count of cruelty to animals felony level 3 penal code 828..12.(2). Adjudication of guilt was withheld. Ezra is now a qualified offender and must give DNA. He was also fingerprinted. He's under supervised probation for 18 months. He must pay $609.92 in fees. He's been declared indigent. You can light a live raccoon in a trap on fire and let it suffer and just get a slap on the wrist. Shameful.

10/11/2018 Case continued at request of defendant. Early resolution scheduled for Dec 13, 2018 at 8:30 am before Judge Rhonda Babb Div 10 at Moore Justice Center.

There will be early resolution. Sounds like he's making a plea deal. I believe he will appear Oct 11 2018 to accept a plea deal. I have no idea what the plea is. I think he will plead guilty to a lesser offense and pay a fine and court costs. They may also sentence him to three years in jail with all time waived if he doesn't commit another crime while on probation for same time. That's just my guess.

The probably cause document has just been unsealed. It's below redacted as a two page pdf. Ezra is listed as retired. It states as follows,

"On August 16, 2018 Ezra Lee James did commit the offense of Animal Cruelty resulting in death by intentionally and willfully capturing a raccoon, pouring gasoline on it and setting it on fire while still in a metal trap. This resulted in the cruel death of the raccoon; when I arrived on scene the raccoon had been pulled out of the cage and was laying on the ground. The raccoon was still alive, completely burned, skin was pulled back from the feet from the burns. I had to put the animal down with my gun to end its suffering."

https://drive.google.com/file/d/16jA494dsi2XjflGeVJx16gQl1qUD4EBX/view?usp=sharing

ORIGINAL: Ezra James trapped a raccoon which he believed was eating his mangoes. He admitted to then pouring gasoline on it lighting it on fire August 15, 2018 at night. He left the raccoon in the trap. The neighbor saw it and called police. Police humanely shot the raccoon to death to put it out of its misery. He was arrested at his home August 16, 2018. He paid bond and was bailed August 17, 2018. James, Ezra booking number 4857028.

Ezra Lee James was born February 12, 1930 in Jamaica. He currently lives in Palm Bay, Brevard County, Florida. He was arrested August 17, 2018 at his home. He was charged with a felony, cruelty to animals in the third degree. There are many other cases against him in Brevard County.

Ezra James was charged with a felony animal cruelty in the third degree. Sentence is no more than five years in jail and/or $10,000 fine. I personally believe Ezra James has some senility and has seriously lost his judgment. He admitted to his crime on video for the media. I think he should be sentenced to counseling, community service, a fine and probation. Jail time for an 88 year old man makes no sense.

Here it the court record as a pdf. It's also below as text but it falls apart.

In 2006 Ezra James went bankrupt. At the time he owned three homes and three cars which included a Cadillac Fleetwood, Lincoln Towncar and a 15 passenger Ford 350 bus. All homes were in foreclosure. He is listed as a transportation provider for the Port Authority of Florida. In 2006 he was a taxi cab service for E & J Transportation making $771/month and unmarried. He collected social security in the amount of $600/month. His bus was repossessed. He tried to get it back. His creditors fought the stays and discharges. His debts were discharged in 2007.

It's illegal to drown raccoons, opossums in Florida - Animal Advocates

Dewie Brown, florida, raccoon, opossum, drown, marion county, state attorney, animal advocates, mary cummins, wildlife, brad king, Forest High School, Ocala, animal cruelty, inhumane, commission, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, 
July 2, 2018 There was a set conibear trap under the chicken pen. Conibear traps snap onto the head or leg of an animal. Most animals will chew off that leg to get out of the trap. That's why these traps are illegal in most areas.

"New information: Law enforcement discovered an illegal steel trap set under a chicken pen at the Ocala school where a teacher had horrifically drowned three animals. The teacher, Dewie Brewton, admitted knowledge of this trap.

Yes, this illegal “conibear” trap was included in the report that went to state attorney, Brad King, along with irrefutable evidence of aggravated cruelty. Still, NO CHARGES were filed in this case. We will not tolerate deliberate cruelty to animals and blatant disregard for Florida’s laws."

May 14, 2018  Florida teacher Dewie Brewton drowned an adult raccoon, a juvenile raccoon and an opossum. He has just resigned.

People are asking if it’s illegal to drown raccoons and opossums. It’s illegal to drown nuisance wildlife in Florida. Below is the statute from the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission. http://myfwc.com/ .

68A-9.010 “Taking Nuisance Wildlife. (c) Euthanasia of nuisance wildlife shall be humane as defined by the American Association of Zoo Veterinarians or the American Veterinary Medical Association.”

https://www.flrules.org/gateway/RuleNo.asp?title=MISCELLANEOUS%20PERMITS&ID=68A-9.010

Per the AVMA, "S 1.5 page 46, “Other unacceptable approaches to euthanasia include hypothermia and drowning."

https://www.avma.org/KB/Policies/Documents/euthanasia.pdf

Drowning raccoons and opossums would be considered animal cruelty in Florida. Title XLVI Crimes, Chapter 828, “Animal Cruelty.”

828.12 (1)  “A person who unnecessarily overloads, overdrives, torments, deprives of necessary sustenance or shelter, or unnecessarily mutilates, or kills any animal, or causes the same to be done, or carries in or upon any vehicle, or otherwise, any animal in a cruel or inhumane manner, commits animal cruelty, a misdemeanor of the first degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or by a fine of not more than $5,000, or both.

(2) A person who intentionally commits an act to any animal, or a person who owns or has the custody or control of any animal and fails to act, which results in the cruel death, or excessive or repeated infliction of unnecessary pain or suffering, or causes the same to be done, commits aggravated animal cruelty, a felony of the third degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or by a fine of not more than $10,000, or both.

(a) A person convicted of a violation of this subsection, where the finder of fact determines that the violation includes the knowing and intentional torture or torment of an animal that injures, mutilates, or kills the animal, shall be ordered to pay a minimum mandatory fine of $2,500 and undergo psychological counseling or complete an anger management treatment program.

(b) A person convicted of a second or subsequent violation of this subsection shall be required to pay a minimum mandatory fine of $5,000 and serve a minimum mandatory period of incarceration of 6 months. In addition, the person shall be released only upon expiration of sentence, is not eligible for parole, control release, or any form of early release, and must serve 100 percent of the court-imposed sentence. Any plea of nolo contendere shall be considered a conviction for purposes of this subsection.

(3) A person who commits multiple acts of animal cruelty or aggravated animal cruelty against an animal may be charged with a separate offense for each such act. A person who commits animal cruelty or aggravated animal cruelty against more than one animal may be charged with a separate offense for each animal such cruelty was committed upon.

http://www.leg.state.fl.us/statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&URL=0800-0899/0828/Sections/0828.12.html

We feel that Dewie Brewton committed three acts of intentional aggravated animal cruelty in the third degree. If convicted, the sentence would be six months jail time per act, $10,000 fine per act, psychological counseling and completion of an anger management program. We wrote a letter to the state attorney Brad King who oversees Marion county, Florida where this happened asking for charges to be made. We cc'd the letter to the Fish & Wildlife Commission, the school and the school district.

Charges filed against three who tortured shark to death - Animal Advocates, Mary Cummins

Robert Benec, Michael Wenzel, Spencer Heintz, florida, animal cruelty, shark, death, felony, charged, fish and wildlife conservation commission, hillsborough county state attorney's office, investigation, arrested, mugshot, booking, photo, criminal, crime, illegal take, 

02/28/19: Michael Menzel in shark dragging pleads guilty to two misdemeanors and gets ten days in jail and probation. Robert Benac awaits trial. Charges dropped against Spencer Heintz. The state dropped the main charge which was dragging the shark behind the boat. They dropped the charge as a shark expert said the shark was dead before they dragged it. 

"Wenzel had been facing another felony count of animal cruelty, but it was reduced to a misdemeanor. He also pleaded guilty to a charge of using an illegal method to catch a shark. A commercial fisherman, his saltwater fishing license was revoked for five years. Along with his jail time, which he can serve on weekends, he was sentenced to 11 months of probation and 100 hours of community service. A prosecutor asked that half those hours be served at an animal shelter or animal abuse facility, but attorneys questioned whether such a center would allow him near animals."

Robert Benac was offered the same plea deal but he refused and case is going to trial.

https://www.tampabay.com/news/publicsafety/boat-captain-in-shark-dragging-case-gets-10-days-jail-for-animal-cruelty-20190228

•One misdemeanor count of Illegal Method of Take – Shark (Second-degree misdemeanor).
Spencer Heintz (DOB 10/14/1994) of Palmetto, Florida
•Two felony counts of Aggravated Animal Cruelty (Third-degree felony).

They turned themselves in to authorities and were booked. Wenzel and Heintz bonded out of jail while Benac remains in the Hillsborough County jail.

If convicted, they could each go to jail for up to ten years with $20,000 fines. 

A person who intentionally commits an act to any animal, or a person who owns or has the custody or control of any animal and fails to act, which results in the cruel death, or excessive or repeated infliction of unnecessary pain or suffering, or causes the same to be done, commits aggravated animal cruelty, a felony of the third degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or by a fine of not more than $10,000, or both.

What will actually happen at SeaWorld after they announced end of the breeding program and shows - Animal Advocates, Mary Cummins

SeaWorld, Tilikum, Joel Manby, marina mammal, orca, parks, captive breeding, empty the tanks, free willy, black fish, move, mary cummins, animal advocates
UPDATE: 03/24/2016 We were just notified that the breeding and show ban only applies to orcas, not dolphins. Dolphins also need to swim miles a day. They also live in families. On top of this they stated they will "rescue" marine mammals that are "unreleasable." This means they will take animals from other aquariums and water parks. Those other aquariums and water parks may breed and show animals. They may obtain then give, sell animals to SeaWorld. I know our local Fish & Wildlife gives perfectly healthy orphan sea otters to SeaWorld and other aquariums when they could be raised to be released back to the wild. We need to keep a very close eye to see if any real change will happen.

______________

SeaWorld announced the end of their orca breeding program on March 17, 2016 in all their marine parks around the US. They will also stop their "theatrical orca shows" and concentrate more on rescuing marine mammals. From their CEO Joel Manby "We will introduce new, inspiring, natural orca encounters rather than theatrical shows, as part of our ongoing commitment to education, marine science research and the rescue of marine animals." If you read the press release, you can tell that while things will be changing, the changes may not be that dramatic.

http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/03/17/470720804/seaworld-agrees-to-end-captive-breeding-of-killer-whales

They stopped taking baby orcas from their moms years ago because making them with artificial mating and insemination was cheaper. Their main sperm donor Tilikum is on his death bed/tank in Florida. No more Tilikum, no more free sperm. Notice they announced they would stop their breeding program a day after they announced Tilikum was dying. SeaWorld was forced to stop their breeding program in California by the California Coastal Commission. They were forced to stop their breeding program in all SeaWorlds around the US when they announced Tilikum who lives in Florida was dying. The only reason they stopped their breeding program was because Tilikum is dying and the public no longer wants to view their cruel orca shows and exhibits because of the documentary “Black Fish.” The main reason was the almighty dollar.

That said I’m still glad they are stopping the breeding program and the current orca shows. Still, animal activists can’t yet rest. SeaWorld will be doing “educational” shows showing “natural behaviors.” Based on what I’ve seen of “educational” marine mammal shows they will still show them breaching, spyhopping, tail-lobbing, pectoral fin slapping and eating. They will also show them doing all SeaWorld learned behaviors so they can be examined by a veterinarian such as rolling over, swimming up to and on a platform... I’m sure they will still do some parts of their regular shows calling it “enrichment” so they get “exercise and don’t get bored.” All in all I doubt much will really change. They may even have some “oops” babies like other zoos do. Babies bring in the crowds and the money. So do the live “shows.” We need to still keep our eyes on SeaWorld to monitor what they will actually do.

2018 and 2019 USDA inventory of animals. Animals are missing. Did they die? Were they sold?

Pg 2 of 2018 report. 66 animals. 2019 report shows only 51. 15 are missing in one year. The missing are as follows, 7 tigers, 3 cougars, 1 AG, 2 serval, 1 lion and 1 Canadian lynx. 22% of her animals went missing in one year.

This site has done a fantastic investigation into Carole Baskin and Big Cat Rescue. Carole Baskin and/or her volunteers do threaten to kill anyone who dares say anything negative about the organization. I got the same when I stated they were not rehabbing bobcat kittens legally or properly. The attacks were worse when I stated there was no reason to feed live ex pets to the big cats who would never be released. Ex pets aren't even a main part of wild big cat diets. If you've watching the disgusting videos the ex pet bunnies and rabbits walk up to the big cat like it's their friend. Then the big cat slowly tortures them to death.

https://www.bcrwatch.com/abuse.html original website is gone but check out the web archive


Here are some pages and files from BCR Watch.



This doesn't mean much but Carole has an account on ancestry. She listed Don dead in Tampa, Florida in 1997. She knows he died in Tampa in 1997? He died at home? This was her ancestry account 11 months ago. This is before the documentary was released.

Carole in her book teaches how to steal kittens from their mothers. Yes, she misspelled her own name in her own website. This came from Wildlife on Easy Street website. I have saved copies of her old websites.

"Free Spirits in Captive Cats by Carole Staris Lewis, is 100 pages of useful information on the care of exotic cats in captivity."

"we would
recommend that the kittens be pulled as
soon as their eyes open, which again, is
usually around ten days. Most cats are not
going to let you waltz in and carry out her
offspring, even if she is temporarily
distracted. There is no substitute for good
planning and this should have been
thought of before she ever conceived. We
have a trap door on the back of the den
box and a drop door on the front entrance
to the den. While the mother is out eating
or getting a drink, we shut her out of the
den and then open the trap door on back
to get to the cubs. We usually take the
kittens at night, when we feed, so that it is
not obvious to the mother that something
is up. If you wash your clothing in a
different detergent before taking the kits,
then it will not be obvious to the Dam that
you were the one who raided her nest.
This could be important in your continued
relationship with her."

Some background info on Don and Carole. Don's father was John Henry "Jack" Lewis. He married Myrtle Dewey and had three children, Glen Thomas Lewis 1934-2011, Patricia Grace Lewis 1935-2012, and Donald Jack Lewis 1938-1997. Myrtle Dewey Lewis divorced her husband is 1940. Her husband John Lewis died of tuberculosis back at his hometown in Indiana in 1944. He supported the family and family up until he died. I don't know if he made provisions for her after his death. He knew he was dying.

Carole Baskin has had four husbands that we know of, i.e. Jones, Michael Murdock, Don Lewis and Howard Baskin. She has one daughter, Jamie.

This is Carole's family. This is so people can keep people straight. In Carole's own tree she doesn't mention her first husband Jones. Her father is dead. Her brother has the same name as her father. Her brother worked for the Hillsborough County Florida Sheriff department. So did another member of the Stairs family. Click to see larger.

Carole's current husband is Howard Gene Baskin born 1950. I searched all Florida bar associations. I don't see that he passed the bar or was ever a lawyer in Florida. He allegedly went to law school in Florida.

His parents were Herman Baskin 1917-1974. He was a butcher and died of coronary heart disease. His mother was Allene Jane Braw Baskin 1924-1976. His two siblings are Harriet b. 1954 and Richard "Rick" b.1953. His paternal grandparents were Samuel Baskin 1885 - 1966 and Rebecca Libou Baskin 1885-1953 from Poland. His great grandparents were Chaim and Minnie Kasovitch Basin from Poland. Howard's maternal grandparents were Benjamin Braw 1898-1956 and Hattye Lorber 1899 - 1947. Howard Baskin graduated from Jewish studies in 1967. His ancestors were Russian Jews fleeing violence and oppression in Russia.

"It's unlikely there's another place where you can see such a variety of exotic cats at one time."

This video came out right after Carole said I lied about the animals being bred there by her. This video shows she's a liar. Since then Carole has tried to say that was Don's idea and something she did long ago in the past. It wasn't that long ago.

Carole Baskin and declawing, defanging. Carole wrote this about declawing in her free online book which is still available. I am posting a snippet here under the fair use of copyright act to talk about Carole's poor treatment of big cats. Because this woman didn't even graduate from high school she did not realize that filing down the fangs of big cats exposing the inner part of the teeth would cause severe pain, infections and lead to extractions. She also recommended declawing big cats on all four which causes disability. The USDA outlawed the declawing of big cats with USDA permits in 2005.

"CLIPPING THE NAILS AND DECLAWING
We have scars and scratches from our fingertips to our elbows and people always assume that it is
from dealing with our big cats, but the truth of the matter is that almost all of these wounds are inflicted
by cubs under six weeks of age. I have even had people ask if I had been in a wreck recently, during
kitten season, due to the condition of my arms and although it is not entirely preventable you can
minimize your exposure by taking a few minutes to clip their claws regularly. In thirteen years of
clipping claws, I have clipped literally thousands of them and only on three occasions have I hit the little
blood vessel that everyone uses as the excuse for why they don't clip claws. I don't want to hurt a
kitten anymore than you, but if I am going to be able to do my job of raising, bathing and medicating
this kitten, then I need to be able to handle him without dropping him.
There is a product available from your Veterinarian called Soft Paws. It is a little gelatin cap that can be
temporarily attached to your kitten’s nails. They come in bright neon colors so that you can see at a
glance that they are still on. We used them once on an ailing Margay who needed daily handling during
his recovery. They worked for a short while and are good for such situations, but they are not the long
term answer for the exotic cat.
If you start early enough and do it often enough, it is no big deal for you or the cat. If you got a late start
or can't manage the cat then we would suggest that one person muzzle and hold the cub and the other
clip. There are a variety of clippers on the market, but I have found that the easiest to handle are
human nail clippers. Finger nail clippers for small cats and Toe nail clippers for larger cats.
If you gently squeeze the paw the nails will extend and you will see that they are hook shaped and
have a dark blood vessel extending along the top edge to about half way down. Just clip the tip of the
nail off below this line and you and the cat will feel no pain. I just take the very tips off, which means
that I have to do it more frequently, but as with most things, I'd rather play it safe than sorry. Unless
your kitten is inbred and polydactal, it will have four nails on each rear paw and five nails on each front
paw, with the fifth one being in a thumb position and usually the hardest to clip and the first one to snag
you. In the unlikely event that you should hit a blood vessel you should have on hand a product such
as Quick Stop which is a powder you dip the nail into to stop the bleeding. I have a bottle of the stuff,
but have never used it as the three times I did hit blood, there was only a drop and then it stopped on
it's own.
I raised purebred domestic cats for over ten years and would never have even considered  declawing
but I do recommend declawing the exotic cat because of it's size, temperament and reputation. When
the procedure is done by a qualified Veterinarian and done before the kitten is twelve weeks old they
never even seem to notice that anything was done. We try to have ours declawed, front and back at six
4/11/2020 Download Book
web.archive.org/web/20010216191657/http://wildlifeeasyst.com/download_book.htm 30/82
weeks because they are still very light on their feet. They are declawed in the morning and come home
around four in the afternoon. They usually are starving when they get home, they eat and then nap the
rest of the day away. The next morning they will be shaking their paws trying to get rid of the bandages,
which we carefully clip off. If you take the bandages off yourself, be very careful when clipping as cats
have very loose skin and it may be doubled over in places and you may cut skin that you weren't
expecting to be there.
As soon as the bandages are off the kitten may begin furiously licking and chewing at his paws, but
watch for a moment before getting too excited. Only once has a cub made it's feet bleed from this
grooming and usually once they have the stickiness off their feet they are off and running like nothing
ever happened. We had a cougar that insisted on chewing her toes until they bled and a little bitter
apple was sufficient to stop her behavior. Cougars seem to have a lower pain threshold and will act like
you are killing them when you give routine vaccinations that no other cat can seem to feel.
When you have bottle raised a kitten to be gentle and sweet it may be very tempting to reason that
since the cub does not extend his claws in play with you that it is unnecessary to declaw but failure to
do so while he is young and light, may cause him much more pain when it becomes a necessity later in
life. Failure to see to this most necessary procedure when he was young could later even cost him his
life in an emergency situation. Cats, like children, put everything they find in their mouths and often
something gets stuck, usually across the roof of their mouth, and sometimes in the throat. When your
90 pound Leopard is choking to death, it's going to take all the courage and love you can muster to
stick your hand down his throat and dislodge whatever it is, without having to figure a way past 18
deadly weapons that are all going to be fixed on you. Cats cannot reason, when they are in distress,
that you have never hurt them and that you are trying to help. They are instead, terrified and striking
out at anything that comes near them and you won't be much help to the cat if you are bleeding to
death.
Don' t fool yourself by saying "Well my little Bobcat is no bigger than a housecat, so how dangerous
could he ever be?" My worst and deepest scars are from my sweetest bobcats, under emergency
conditions and they were even declawed. Any cat, Ocelots especially, delight in wrapping themselves
around the anatomy of their "prey" and rabbit kicking with their back feet. When they do this to each
other, in play, no harm is done, but when they wrap around your arm and do the same thing, you will be
bleeding from your wrist to your elbow. There is always the possibility of escape and recapture can be
nearly impossible if the cat has claws, not to mention the fact that a clawed cat is much more likely to
effect an escape than a declawed one. You may reason that in the event of an escape, your cat will
need his claws to survive, but if this is a tame cat, claws or not, it will not be able to survive and if it did
manage to kill anything for food it would be your neighbors cats and dogs, which is going to bring the
whole community down on you and your cats. We have even seen people threaten to sue us because
they came on our property and alleged that one of our cats scratched them. The suit was dropped
when it was proved that the cat had no claws for over a year prior to the incident.
We were boarding a four year old White Tiger who appeared to have been severely inbred and crippled
in the hips. When the weather would turn cold or wet she would claw at her tail, presumably because it
tingled like a foot fallen asleep. She rips the skin open in one slash and then require ten days of
antibiotics and frequent spraying of her tail. Treating her is also compounded by the fact that we have
to watch out for all those big claws. Because she was not declawed as an infant, she will never be able
to run and play with our own Tigers.
Toxoplasmosis gondii (Cat Scratch Fever) is not transmitted via a cat scratch, despite the name,
however your Veterinarian will be much more at ease with your cats if he or she only has to watch out
for a mouth full of teeth. The reasons for declawing are endless and the excuses for not doing so are
not justified.
There are at least two methods of declawing and the first, crushing the claw, we do not recommend as
the claw can grow back and you will have to re- do the procedure. The second sounds more cruel, in
4/11/2020 Download Book
web.archive.org/web/20010216191657/http://wildlifeeasyst.com/download_book.htm 31/82
that the first digit of the toe is removed along with the claw, but it only has to be done once and then it
is soon forgotten. This is necessary as the cats claws are retractable into that first digit, with the
exception of the Cheetah and unless things change dramatically, no one reading this is going to be in
possession of this wonderful, nearly extinct creature. (Incidentally, back in 1964 a pair of Cheetahs
could be purchased for $5,000.00 and now even at $55,000.00 per pair, they cannot be found) For
fourteen days after the surgery your Veterinarian will prescribe a broad spectrum antibiotic such as
Amoxicillan to prevent infection. Most Veterinarians use a special skin glue, rather than stitches to seal
the paws and only once have we found this ineffective, due to a bad bottle of "glue". Keep the kitten's
play area exceptionally clean during this time.
Post operative toilet training opinions are varied and your choice will depend on your cat. Some people
switch over to newspaper in the litter box so that the gravel does not irritate the paws until they are fully
healed. The reasoning is that the cat will refuse to use the box if it hurts his feet and your litter box
training will have been in vain. I expect that this may work for domestic cats, but have found that with
exotics it usually results in shredded newspaper from one end of the house to the other and the cat
then associates defecating with anything made of paper. Since we are in a paper intensive business
and have maps, contracts, books and all manner of paper related items about the house, this is an
association that we do not wish to encourage. We continue to leave litter in the box and have not had
any bad side effects arise.
We have found that it is not safe to house clawed exotic cats with declawed exotic cats because even
play fighting can result in nasty wounds to the declawed animal. When two cats have their claws and
are raised together they learn how hard is too hard, but when you begin mixing claws and no claws, all
of the rules are different and someone is going to be hurt. We've been told countless times that it is
okay to breed a clawed feline to a declawed one, but we have found that the declawed cat will often
suffer a nasty cut, and because we love our cats and know how quickly a small cut can turn into a life
or death matter, we do not subscribe to this practice.
We do not believe in removing the canine teeth; not the baby teeth nor the permanent ones. We made
the mistake of having the baby teeth filed down at the same time as the declawing. This is a procedure
that just takes the very tip off the extremely sharp fangs. Our reasoning was, that it is easier to train
and discipline a kitten who does not have those needle like enamels sunk into some portion of our
anatomy. The adult teeth are not nearly so sharp and by the time the permanent teeth come in, the cat
has learned not to use them on people. The results were heartbreaking and very difficult recognize.
We had brought in a large number of kittens, all at once, from two fur farms to save their little lives.
Naturally, they all come in sick and stressed and this adds to all of the problems normally associated
with bottle rearing. When they were finally stabilized enough to vaccinate and declaw, we had their
teeth filed. For the next five months this group was constantly on medication for one ailment or another.
All of their ailments reached life threatening proportions, even for otherwise inconsequential attacks.
We were all baffled. It seemed like the kittens had no immune system and yet they did not test positive
for Feline Leukemia Virus or Feline Infectious Peritonitis or any other immune deficiency. One of the
kits had grey teeth canine teeth and we took him in to our Veterinarian to have them removed. He had
been very ill and had quit eating unless we cut his food into tiny pieces and hand fed him. We feared
that he would not even survive the surgery, but we prayed and left the rest to God and our Veterinarian.
As soon as he came home from having the rotten teeth extracted, he took an immediate turn for the
better. That was the last time he was ever sick. Within two days of seeing his dramatic recovery we
took all of the cubs and kittens back to the Veterinarian and had their tipped teeth removed. All of them
were completely better within two days and none of them has been sick again to this day. For the first
seven months of their lives they were knocking at death’s door and the last five months of that was due
to something stupid that we had done. Except for the one kit, none of the others showed any sign of
the teeth being compromised by the filing. The Veterinarian said that they were decayed when she
pulled them out, but it was not apparent by just looking in the mouth."

People are wondering where is Kenneth Wayne Farr born May 2, 1969 who drove Don's van full of Don's guns and ammo to his, Kenneth's house the night before Don went missing. The guns were allegedly a gift from Carole. Later Carole put real estate in Kenneth's name.

Kenneth "Kenny" Wayne Far has been in and out of prison, jail for having, using, selling drugs. I confirmed the name and birth date. His ex wife also confirmed all of this.






ORIGINAL: May 2009. I've known Carole Baskin since about 2002. I first encountered her when I saw pics of her with orphaned wild bobcat kittens which she was supposed to raise and release back to the wild. I'd stated that she should not be playing with the bobcats and her cages didn't meet minimum standards. The spacing between the bars is too far apart. It's dangerous for the animal and people. I was also against Carole Baskin feeding live ex pet rabbits and rats to the cats. One, the cats were never going to be released. They don't need to learn to hunt, hunt. Two, they would never encounter a pet rabbit or pet rat in the wild. It doesn't help them learn to hunt. Carole and her volunteers fed ex pets to the cats because they clearly enjoyed watching the cats torture the ex pets until they died. I have pics and video of this but won't post it because it's too disgusting. When I said this Carole and her friends viciously attacked me.

Below are some newspaper articles which prove that Carole Baskin has been breeding animals, ripping babies from their mothers, selling them, encouraging big cats as pets, helping people get big cats and the necessary permits to keep them, selling encounters with big cats, pics with big cats, tours of big cats, spend the night with a big cat. The clips came from public newspapers. You can find them here at http://www.newspapers.com. I've tagged the articles online so you can just search her name, Big Cat Sanctuary, Wildlife on Easy Street, phone number 813 920 4130 to find them.

September 11, 1998 USDA cites BCS for AWA violations after an employee is mauled. How did Carole get away with this? She does what all the other groups who violate the AWA do, threaten to sue the hell out of the USDA. USDA backs down as they have no money to fight lawsuits. That's how the Wildlife Waystation did okay all those years even after multiple violations and complaints.



1997. Carole Lewis again always trying to show the big cats with baby bottles to look cute so people will want to see and then buy them.

"TAMPA An international wildlife group has found many of Florida's zoos and animal attractions lacking in safety, habitat and conservation efforts. Chimps throwing their feces at visitors. Elephants shaking their heads endlessly. Bears pacing the same small pattern over and over. Animals kept alone in stark cages. "Children don't see wild animals, they see crazy animals," said Neil Trent, regional director for the World Society for the Protection of Animals. At a news conference Tuesday, Trent's group delivered copies of a study done earlier this year of 21 zoos, attractions and roadside animal parks throughout Florida. Veterinarian and zoo inspector John Gripper visited the sites as a tourist and found only two businesses that would pass British zoo standards: Busch Gardens in Tampa and Jungle Larry's Zoological Park in Naples. Lowry Park Zoo in Tampa was not reviewed for the study, but Trent said it is accredited and has a good standing with a national zoo accreditation group. Sea World in Orlando received both positive and negative remarks, but Gripper concluded he did not spend enough time at the park to determine whether it would have passed the British standard. : Two Tampa Bay attractions that earned poor marks with Trent's group were Noell's Ark Chimp Farm in Tarpon Springs and Wildlife on Easy Street in the Citrus Park area of northwest Hillsborough County. Trent called Wildlife on Easy Street little more than an elaborate showroom for owners trying to sell bobcat and cougar kittens. "It smells of exploitation the moment you walk in," he said. Don and Carole Lewis keep more than 100 felines and other animals at their home on 40 acres off Sheldon Road near Gunn Highway. Although it is not regularly open to the public, visitors can tour the grounds by appointment on Saturdays. The protection society's report criticized the Lewis' for empty cages that lacked "environmental , enrichment," such as grasses and plants, and for having too many of the animals too close together, causing anxiety and stress. In addition, the report found safety lacking at Easy Street, so much that, "there is a very real risk of injury to the visiting public" and "a strong likelihood of an escape of a large cat into the neighborhood." Carole Lewis challenged the report's concerns about safety. She said the tiger fence is 9 feet tall, not 6, and that they are not making any profit from sales of non-endangered animals."

You are not allowed to play with animals being rehabbed under a wildlife rehabilitation permit which Carole has. Howard Baskin did this to look cute for the newspaper photographer.

2008. "The Big Cat Fight. Carole Baskin would like to forget that she once bred exotic big cats and sold them as house pets. She would like everyone else to forget that her husband disappeared mysteriously 10 years ago,leaving her a rich woman.

She would rather than everyone thought of her the way she sees herself; a crusader for animal rights who believes no one should own a wild cat. Not a zoo. Not a sanctuary. Not even herself. But to many who live and breathe exotic animals, Baskin is a hypocrite.

They point out that her 40 acre Big Cat Rescue sanctuary in Hillsborough County has 137 tigers, lions, leopards, lynx and other big cats. Her own 'private collection' they call it.

They heckle her at state wildlife meetings. They picket her funraising Fur Balls. And they speculate on what happened to her late husband, Don Lewis, calling police with tips.

'Did you feed him to the tigers?' someone once asked Baskin at the grocery store. Her own stepdaughter wanted police to test the meat grinder at the sanctuary for her missing father's DNA.

Baskin says she has no idea what happened to Lewis and she had nothing to do with it. She is simply focused on her mission to outlaw private ownership of big cats and arrive at a day when there is no longer a need to shelter them. A day when Big Cat Rescue closes."

"Exotic Cats As Housepets" by Carole Stairs Lewis is a 100 page book this is full of useful information on the raising and keeping of exotic cats. It covers 13 species, many of which are endangered and threatened. Zoos do not have good success with breeding the smaller cats an they are generally now a crowd drawing attraction, making the private sector the last chance these cats have for survival.

From their website 1997. This is breeder/dealer language, i.e. "we don't sell animals" wink wink, yes we do. Just ask. Big Cat Rescue has always generally had mutt big cats. They aren't pure bred. Breeder, dealers do this to get around the permit issue. You need a permit for a full bred endangered tiger but not for a mutt tiger. They breed subspecies together to make a mutt. This is not conservation as the original species is not being conserved. Notice she boards other people's animals.
.
"Breeding. We have neutered all of our male cougars, siberian lynx and
bobcats as these cats are plentiful in captivity and in the wild. There is no reason to breed them. We have neutered our male tiger because he is a hybrid and there will always be plenty in captivity because they breed well and are always in high demand. We do not breed our lions, but have not neutered the male as he is being boarded here and is thought to be one of the last of the Barbary
Lions.

To date, our Margay, Jungle Cats, Geoffroyi Cats, Clouded Leopard and Leopard Cats
have been unsuccessful in breeding. We still breed the leopards, lemurs and ocelots
which are endangered in order to preserve the species. Our last leopard cub was born
in 1996. We do not sell cats.

We are ambivilent about breeding Servals and Caracals as they are threatened and
probably should be bred to continue a genetic diversity capable of sustaining them, but
on the other hand, there is no place for them to live free. To date, our last kitten was
born in the spring of 1997."
