Just when I think I've seen it all, raccoons being sold as food in Los Angeles - Animal Advocates

Raccoons for sale as food, Chinese market, Temple City, California, Los Angeles, Mary Cummins, Animal Advocates
UPDATE: 02/14/2015: Supposedly the raccoons came from a wholesaler in Florida. More than one market was selling the raccoons. One market sold it for $22/lb. Investigation is ongoing.

http://www.sgvtribune.com/health/20150212/frozen-raccoon-at-temple-city-market-may-have-come-from-florida-officials-say

Metro Supermarket located at 4819 Temple City Boulevard, Temple City, CA 91780 (626) 872-6955 is selling dead raccoons in a bag for $54 or $9.99/pound. They have been selling it for years they state. Authorities trying to figure out if it's legal. It might be legal if the source is legal. From a common sense point of view raccoon is the last meat you should eat. Every raccoon we've taken into rescue has had round worms which can be fatal to humans. You can't destroy it by just cooking it. They are also a Rabies Vector Species. This means they are more likely to have rabies though not all have rabies. Our main rabies vector animal here in LA is bats.

Supposedly raccoons are a "delicacy" in China which is odd as they are not native to Chine and have no raccoons there. I think some guy just told people it cures impotence or something to make money off gullible people. Turns out raccoon dogs which are not raccoons are native to Asia. They are called tanookis. Maybe they think they are raccoon dogs which we don't have here. Here is the original video from Christina Dow. In the video you see what looks like some large animals entire paw wrapped up. Here is the website for the market in English.   http://metrosupermarket.net/en/



About the supermarket. "Interunited Investment (USA) Corp.has established on October, 2011 in Los Angeles, California U.S.A. This company is a sister company of Hunan Interunited Investment Co. Ltd. Interunited Investment (USA) Corp. has invested and been operating Metro Supermarket, Metro Farm, and International Import and Export company."

Raccoon meat is legal to sell if it's legally procured and presented. This company sells raccoon meat. The small size one is a juvie raccoon. They should have USDA stamps. I think they sell them whole as there is no butcher who wants to dress them, i.e. skin, gut, cut up...

Here is the bar code from the package 230500 754350. The "2" means it's meat that was weighed and wrapped in the store. The "5435" is the price. The "0" verifies the price. Still trying to figure out the "30500." That should be the type of meat.

Animal Advocates legal disclaimer - Licensed Wildlife Rehabiliators in Los Angeles, California

We are licensed by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) customer number 22273, permit 93-C-0973. We have a 12 year perfect history of inspections since we first got out permit in 2003. We have never had a violation ever. We follow all guidelines of the Animal Welfare Act.

We are licensed by the California Department of Fish & Wildlife (used to be called Fish & Game). We have a perfect record and history. We are permitted to rehabilitate all small mammals including coyotes, bobcats, foxes, raccoons, opossums, all squirrels, skunks, small rodents and bats. We also can rehabilitate all non-protected birds. We have legal unreleasable educational animals. We were first approved for our license in 2003. Mary Cummins worked as a satellite for other rehabbers since 2001. We have never had a violation ever. We follow all guidelines of Fish & Wildlife.

We are a legal non-profit organization recognized by the IRS since 2002. We have never had a problem with our status or any violations ever. We follow all rules and regulations. We've never been audited. Here is our legal organization on Guidestar http://www.guidestar.org/organizations/48-1287089/animal-advocates.aspx

We are a legal California non-profit corporation originally filed in 2002. We have never had any violations ever. We have never been audited. We follow all rules and regulations. http://www.animaladvocates.us/animal_advocates_legal_corporation.jpg

It is against the law for us to show wildlife being rehabilitated for release back to the wild to the public. We can only show our educational unreleasable animals to the public. We cannot give tours or let people view our facilities. This is why we show photos and videos. NO ONE except USDA and Fish & Wildlife inspectors have ever been to our facilities since 2006 when we move to a new facility. We don't give out our physical addresses.

President of Animal Advocates Mary Cummins has a perfect history and has passed many Department of Justice background checks to have her many professional licenses (real estate appraiser, real estate broker, notary...), work with abused children, have a gun permit and go to the police academy, humane academy to become a Humane Officer. Mary Cummins has passed the strictest of all background checks to work with many high level government agencies. Cummins does not even have a speeding or parking ticket on her record.

A mentally ill, obsessed lady has been stalking us for the last few years. She has been stating completely false things about our founders and organization. If anyone ever says we have ever had a problem with our permits or the law, they are lying. We have a perfect record. We are working with authorities to have this person incarcerated.

Babies need new beds! Raising money for incubators for baby wildlife. If you can't donate, please share. Thanks! Animal Advocates.

Babies need new beds, incubators. Animal Advocates, Los Angeles, California non-profit, Mary Cummins
We're raising money to buy some of these professional incubators. We've been using tupperware containers with heating pads underneath for over 30 years. They new heating pads turn off. The older ones would sometimes melt the underside of the container or shelving underneath. It's time to get something better. The mechanical base model is $375 but we need the bigger size which is $525.

Animal Advocates, incubator, baby, beds wildlife, Los Angeles, California, Mary Cummins
