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."

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.

Coyotes not evil people are killing cats and small animals - Animal Advocates, Mary Cummins

UPDATE: 05/24/2024 I have removed photos of examples of coyote kills because of a complaint. Please, search Google and you will see some photos which you can use to determine if it was a coyote kill or something else. Below is some information.

03/20/2019 Cats killed in Edmonton were killed by coyotes and not a demented person.

"Nick Nation, a veterinary pathologist and adjunct professor, and Colleen Cassady St. Clair teamed up to study case 53 files and necropsy results cats killed between 2007 and 2017." They state exactly what I stated below about how coyotes kill, dismember and eat cats. This is science. These are facts.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/edmonton-cat-killing-coyote-study-university-alberta-1.5061572

Scotland Yard took three years to come to the conclusion that dead, mutilated cats were killed by foxes and not a "sick depraved human." Here's the summary.

"London police have announced the conclusion of a three-year investigation into a suspected cat serial killer – who activists believe has killed up to 400 animals since 2014. Police said Thursday the culprit, however, is not a person but the urban fox.

Detectives examined dozens of dead cats believed to have been killed by the Croydon Cat Killer, who became something of a local legend as reports of dismembered, beheaded and mutilated family pets began accumulating starting in 2014 in the south London district of Croydon.

But on Thursday police said that foxes were the culprits for the mutilations, which they said were all carried out on cats who had previously been killed by blunt force trauma. “Scavenging foxes then mutilated body parts – especially heads and tails,” police said."

Read the rest of the article. Again there is a suspect who is a male who drives around. How long will the people in Washington still believe a human is killing cats. It's clearly coyotes. It could also be foxes.

http://time.com/5401854/croydon-cat-killer-foxes/?xid=tcoshare

ORIGINAL: There have been many reports over many years about "sick, twisted humans" killing cats in gruesome ways. The owner of the cats and others insist a human must have used a "scalpel" to cut their cat in half or disembowel them with very little blood. Some even swear they saw a "sketchy looking man in a car driving around the neighborhood looking for cats to kill." They swear the body parts were "placed, staged" to cause humans fear. They even offer rewards for the "killer."

Years of evidence has shown that these are generally cases where a coyote or two killed a cat to eat.  Their main diet is wild bunnies, ground squirrels, gophers and berries. If you leave your cat outside and unprotected, they will eat it because it's easier to catch than a wild bunny or gopher. Keep your cat and all small pets indoors and protected.

WARNING! There are some dead cat photos at the bottom of this article. Don't scroll all the way down if you can't take it.

How to tell if a coyote or a human or a dog killed your cat.

Coyotes try to approach the cat from behind. They don't want to have to deal with sharp teeth and claws. They will grab the cat by the back of the neck and bite, shake hard to quickly kill the cat. Sometimes when they bite and shake the head comes off. They will keep their jaws clenched on the cat until they know it's dead. Sometimes the cats die from shock or suffocation.

Coyotes will generally just eat the protein and calorie rich organ meats. After the cat is dead they rip open the stomach area, disembowel the cat and eat the organs. Sometimes the intestines will be pulled out. Sometimes when eating the organs the cat ends up in two pieces. Sometimes they are hunting in a pack. One coyote may grab part of the cat while another grabs the other end. Sometimes they rip the cat in two ripping off all of part of the tail and maybe even degloving the remaining tail or skinning part of the body in the process.

They generally attack from 11:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. when it's dark out. Because no humans are generally around at those hours they will eat the cat on the front lawn or parkway. They aren't "intentionally displaying the dead animal" as some state. Outdoor cats generally hang out in the front of homes. If the coyotes are interrupted while they are eating, they may take the cat parts and go eat elsewhere. If it's a pack of coyotes hunting for a female with pups, they may bring the entire dead cat back to the den. They also sometimes do this to train pups how to hunt and eat. Mom will rip open a cat so her pups can get to the organ meat.

Below is an article from Albuquerque Journal, New Mexico, Aug 1, 1993. It quotes Los Angeles County Animal Control.

"Mason's cat, Weasel, disappeared from the driveway of the couple's Plano home last month." "He found the body" "head and forepaw neatly severed, the heart and other internal organs removed and laid aside." 'Otherwise it was all clean. There was no blood on the cat's coat. The remaining intestines were all gone." "The body, head and paw, and heart seemed placed, Mason thought arranged in a triangle. He notified Plano police." Neighbors frequently see coyotes in the area but "Mason does not think coyotes killed his cat. I wouldn't rule anything out but I don't think so." "It looks like the animals have been surgically taken apart, because coyotes are very skilled predators," says Bob Ballenger, executive assistant of the Los Angeles County Dept of Animal Care and Control. "It's not a chew and a rip-up."

Here's another big scare that turned out to be coyotes. I have redacted the person's name and the name of the group. They were not from the area and not familiar with coyote kills. The coyotes live in the golf courses and leave to go eat outdoor cats for dinner at night.

September 12, 2005

“Dear Friends,
It is with great sadness that I write you tonight, but I feel I must get the word out. There have been a rash of cat mutilations in the area near Cashio St. and La Cienega in West LA. Ten cats have been
chopped in half or into three pieces and posed in the front yards of neighbors in this area since July. *** has been investigating this horrible violent criminal activity and has some leads but have not caught the perpetrator yet. We have posted $1,000 reward signs for information leading to the
conviction of the killer in the area where the bodies have been found. If anyone would like to help with this investigation please contact me at the *** and I will discuss with you ways that you can assist. By the way, it is always best to keep your cat indoors, but especially if you live in this neighborhood!!!"

If a dog were to kill a cat, they also go for the neck. After the cat is dead they generally don't eat it. They may play with it by tossing it around by the neck or legs. You will see a bit of dog saliva on the neck. Coyotes don't play with their food. They just eat it. Very little saliva on the neck. The main wound is on the neck. The other wounds are just from eating it.

Some wonder why there is very little blood at the kill site. There's a very good reason for that. The coyote breaks the cat's neck quickly. This causes the heart to stop pumping. The coyote finally rips into the stomach area, peritoneal cavity when the heart has stopped. For this reason the blood loss will be minimized.

How to keep your cats, small pets safe from coyotes.

The most important thing to do is keep your cats and small animals indoors and protected. If a coyote doesn't kill your cat, a dog, car, another cat could kill them.

It never makes sense to trap and kill coyotes who eat pets. Every coyote you trap/kill will instantly be replaced by another coyote. You'd also need a permit and trappers charge about $1,000-$1,500 to trap each coyote. Coyotes don't go into Hav-a-Hart traps and snare traps are now illegal in Los Angeles, California. It's illegal to trap and relocate healthy nuisance wildlife in California. You'd have to drive them at least 50 to 100 miles away or they'll just return anyway.

The best thing to do is not lure them to your home. Keep small pets indoors. Don't leave out cat food. Coyotes are omnivores who eat berries and seeds. Remove the bird feeder. Lock up your trash. Pick up dropped fruit. Clear brush where they den.

Also deter and exclude coyotes. Every time you see a coyote scare it away by stomping your feet, yelling at it, making loud noise, charge it, run after it... Exclude them with proper fencing and walls. Here's an article we wrote about keeping your animals safe from coyotes which goes into more details.

http://www.animaladvocates.us/coyote.htm

Below are some photos of cats and other animals killed by coyotes. Sometimes just the stomach is eaten. Sometimes they are ripped in two. This cat was disemboweled.

PHOTOS DELETED due to complaint so I can't show you how to identify coyote kills.

This cat was on my lawn May 2005. A neighbor was feeding a lot of outdoor feral cats. Coyotes came through and within three days ate most of them. Coyote also ate neighbor's two outdoor cats. I know for sure this was a coyote kill. coyote, killer, cat, cats, los angeles, california, mary cummins, animal advocates, kill, murder, animal sacrifice, evil, cruel, scalpel, cut open, rip skin, tail, head, organs, santeria, religious, religion

Notice spine is broken clear through. Most of it is missing. Ribs were broken to get to organ meats. Part of intestine is hanging out with part wrapped around the cat.

This is from September 2018 in Florida. It is of course a coyote kill. Part of the spine is missing as are the ribs and organs. The coyote chewed through ribs to get to organs, also ate organs in abdominal cavity. Coyote may have been disturbed while eating and took that portion away from the site. TNR people believe it's a human doing this. No. TNR people are responsible for these cats' deaths. Don't leave cats outside for many reasons.

"This week, several mutilated cats were found along International Drive in Orlando Florida, by wait for it...TNR feeders. Someone is apparently going around and mutilating TNR cats, cutting them in half and even skinning a few. Then putting them on display."

So many times people think it's evil humans when it's not. There have been some truly embarrassing cases of people even police insisting it's a devil worshiper or someone who practices Santeria killing the cats. In the end people realize it's just coyotes. Only three out of 1,300 dead cat calls to Los Angeles Animal Services were not killed by coyotes. Coyotes eat cats and small pets to survive. They don't do it to be mean to people or pets. If you left a stack of money in the middle of the street and someone took it, don't blame the person who took it. Blame yourself for leaving it there unprotected.

Below are some good articles about this subject. This includes research on what coyotes actually eat. It also includes necropsies done by experienced wildlife veterinarians and other experts.
