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, that is false. We have a perfect record. We've had our USDA permit since 2003 with no violations ever. This stalker woman has gone so far as to threaten to harm us and the animals in our care. We are working with authorities to have this person incarcerated.

Please, do not post pleas for money, donations, items for sale, services for sale... for yourself or another organization on our page. We don't know which are scams or not and don't have the time to research them all. We don't want our friends or fans to get ripped off by a scam. Ads, pleas for money will be removed. Don't ask us for money. We are a small non-profit with a small budget. We spend all of our money helping animals. We help the public with native wildlife in Los Angeles, California. We can only give advice for anyone outside of California of the US. Thanks.

When is a non-profit not a non-profit? SeaWorld, Shedd Aquarium, Monterey Bay Aquarium. Mary Cummins, Animal Advocates

Monterey Bay Aquarium, SeaWorld Adventure Park, Shedd Aquarium, when a non-profit is actually a for-profit business
SeaWorld is a for-profit company with 11 theme park/aquariums. They state their goal is to make a profit while promoting marine conservation. Yes, they force their animals to do tricks, keep them in small tanks, don't give them the best care. This article only deals with finances and taxes. In 2013 they made $1.46 billion from their parks, merchandise, restaurants...Their EBITDA was $439 million. Their CEO makes $675K/ye. You can swim with animals, touch the animals. While they were, are profitable, they don't pay Federal taxes, Florida corporation taxes because of write offs from debt payments, deductions. They state they pay tens of millions in other forms of state, federal, property...taxes.

http://www.seaworldinvestors.com/files/doc_financials/Annual%20Reports/2013%20SEAS%20Annual%20Report%20Final.pdf

The Shedd aquarium is legally a non-profit but it is definitely a for profit zoo. People pay to visit the aquarium and can pay extra to play with a beluga whale or penguin, just like SeaWorld. They state they need donations to care for this tiny sea otter pup. They make $73,000,000 a year from their zoo/aquarium with $350,000,000 in assets, $177,000,000 in cash. They don't need money for this pup. He should have been rehabbed here for release back to the wild. He's being used to make money. They have $22,000,000 in salaries, CEO makes $3,500,000 per year! They turn a big profit every year over $20,000,000. Zoo masquerading as a non-profit sanctuary. Here is their 990 for 2012. They only pay some payroll taxes. They receive $5 million from taxes paid by others.

http://www.guidestar.org/FinDocuments/2012/362/167/2012-362167918-09783b4b-9.pdf

CEOs of Monterey Bay Aquarium, SeaWorld, Shedd Aquarium
Monterey Bay Aquarium takes in $66 million a year. They also have over $300 million in assets. Julie Packard Director makes about $300K/yr. 12 other people have over $150K and even $200K/yr. They spend $1.2 million on animals. The aquarium turns a nice profit. They have $80 million in cash. $150M in stocks and bonds. If you look at the end of their 990, you can see their sea otter activity. They even work with SeaWorld. They give them pups. Only pay payroll taxes.

http://www.guidestar.org/FinDocuments/2012/942/487/2012-942487469-09e0c7c0-9.pdf

Monterey Bat Aquium, SeaWorld San Diego, Shedd Aquarium maps, non-profit verses for-profit business
Right now people are trying to get the NFL's non-profit status yanked. I didn't even know they were a non-profit. They are a 501 6 c corporation, an "industry association." They are legally a non-profit just like a church. Seems there are many other organizations which are also non-profit such as social club, fraternity, business league, labor organization, veterans, employee benefits... They make $9 billion a year. Commissioner makes $44 million/year.

If you look at these companies, they all look like for-profit organizations to me. They are big business. To me a non-profit should be a charity, true church...an organization that helps the public good. Their main goal is to help people, not make a lot of money. That is just tax evasion.

When you consider that for-profit SeaWorld didn't pay taxes even in 2011 when they had record earnings it probably doesn't even matter if a company is for profit or non-profit. If they are bringing in enough money, they will find a creative way to not pay any taxes. I think if the nation wants to get a better grip on taxes, the economy, they need to rein in this tax abuse. They are all businesses making an awful lot of money.

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

We'd really appreciate it if you could make a small donation toward our incubator fund. You can donate via PayPal to donate@animaladvocates.us or click this link.

Gentle Barn, Ellie Laks, Yael Laks, Attorney General investigation for donor fraud, criminal past

The Gentle Barn gets a horrible review in Charity Navigator.



UPDATE: May 20, 2014: I read the book and just started to see if I could verify anything in the book. Ellie Laks is a story teller.

1. Ellie Laks states she was forced to sell her house on 6050 Corbin, Tarzana, CA because her neighbor complained about her pig and one structure being too close to the fence.

That of course is not quite true. She was reported for illegal use of the property. The zone is RA-1 which is suburban low density single family residence. She was reported for running a business on the property which is not allowed. She also had more animals than allowed for the lot size. A regular pig is not allowed in this zone. This is not agriculture zone which would be A1 or A2. There were also reports and complaints about the condition of the property. There were many complaints from 2002 to 2003. She had to shut down the business she ran on the property.

Just found out that Yael Laks and Jay Weiner are distributors of that algae product. They make commissions on sales. Looks like they made $2-$5k/month in 2012 in commissions selling that algae product. It is multi-level marketing. http://www.simplexityhealth.co.uk They sell blue green algae which "only" grows in one lake in Oregon.  Their product is not controlled by the FDA. The company claims the products make you healthy, help you lose weight... Turns out the  products have microcystins which are bad for you. Oregon Dept of Agriculture banned algae products for human consumption if there was more than one part per million of microcystin. Revenue went from $193M to $37M. They became a public company then did death spiral financing. The owner then went to prison for tax evasion. Then they were sued for false, misleading and deceptive advertising. Judge ruled all claims were totally false and banned the sale of the products in California. The company originally named Cell Tech was sued for wrongful death in 2005. That is why they changed their name in 2006 to Simplexity Health. The company renamed the blue green algae product. Looks like they changed names so they could sell the product again. They are using the same false advertising. The product could be harmful. I call it a scam. 


Guess who owns a boat? Yael Laks. It was valued in 2013 at $18,000. Why is she buying a boat? Where did she get that money? As she has no job, her husband has no job, her trust fund is gone, it most likely came from Gentle Barn.

LEGAL DESCRIPTION
Source Of Property Location: PARTIAL CREATION OF SITUS ADDRESS FROM THE MAILING ADDRESS

Yael Laks first husband appears to be Derrick Ramon Fudge also used alias Johnson. He filed to divorce her October 31, 1994 as per docs below. She also tried to file a restraining order for "domestic violence" that same day. She did not get the restraining order. Case numbers appear to be the same. LD is valley domestic. Perhaps one data retrieval system mixed up "D" as "divorce" when it is "domestic." At the very least this guy was her boyfriend if not her husband. He was a drug dealer and user. He's been arrested in Utah and Florida. Born November 1, 1961. They got divorced in 1994. Yael Laks claims she and her buddy were actors. I see no evidence of Yael Laks, Ellie Laks, Rachel Laks being an actress. This guy was definitely not an actor. He never went past high school. Derrick was a drug dealer. Derrick R Fudge seems to have cleaned up his act and found god. He comes from a very religious family. He's back in Ohio where he is from and has kids and grand kids. Here is his photo. There are many arrests, mugshots online. One mug shot is just of him passed out in his cell. He was arrested for "Derrick Johnson was arrested on 5/15/1998 in Polk County, Florida and charged with poss coc wit sell/del fta psi invest, sale coc fta psi invest, poss drug para fta psi invest, and vop-batt ao 052298 no ptr." He was arrested repeatedly from 1996 to 1998. This seems to be true. I will continue to try to verify but address, date, drug use, name, age...all point to this person. If anyone has any other data, please, give it to me to verify. He and his brother Leonard were also evicted from an apartment.

I put in birthday 11-1-61 to make sure I have the same person. Yes. 417 is drawing a weapon other than a gun in a threatening way. 653 m a is threatening phone calls. 594 is damaging property, graffiti. 288 c 1 is a sexual act on a minor. More of his record and more mugshots. He was arrested for selling cocaine. He went to prison for over a year. He hasn't had a problem with the law I don't think since 1999.

Go here and put in the address "6050 Corbin" and you can see the reports.



Ellie Laks' husband Jay Lawrence Weiner has a criminal record. He was charged in 1995 with having a concealed weapon without a permit. I verified this is the same person with the same birth date of August 29, 1971. He tried to get it expunged. He wants to hide his past. Ellie should have investigated Jay a little. He has been evicted along with his ex-wife. She filed for divorce. He's been sued in small claims court many times. He didn't show and lost. His business Jellies was sued. It's a suspended corporation. He has many judgments and liens against him here in Los Angeles and San Diego for cars, credit cards, purchases. I don't see where he was ever a successful business person. He lived with his dad for quite a while even when married.

If you check LA County and her current address, you will see zone LCA11 which is Los Angeles County light agricultural. Here is what's allowed there along with restrictions. She needs a conditional use permit but doesn't appear to have one.She is running a business on the property. She's only allowed eight farm animals per acre. She has almost five acres so she can have at most 40 animals. She actually probably only uses two acres for animals so she can have 16 animals. She's also only allowed three dogs and three cats or else she needs a kennel permit. I doubt she has that permit either. She has way more animals than this. Perhaps that is why she has animals on another lot which she doesn't allow the public to see. She's basically running a petting zoo that also has events. As I read this even with a conditional use permit she can't have a petting zoo, zoo, animal exhibit on this property.



Her mom and dad bought Ellie Laks the house on 6050 Corbin. She never would have qualified for a loan. The property was not free and clear. Then her parents signed the property over to Ellie real name Yael Laks. Ellie then sold it for $460,000.

I searched their current property. They are zoned LCA11 which is light agricultural. They don't have a conditional use permit to run a business there either. They also have more pigs than allowed. The animal structures are too close to the road and neighbors. I think the structures are also too close to their house.

Gentle Barn in violation of Pennsylvania law for soliciting donations when they are not a registered non-profit in Pennsylvania. They didn't even respond.They could be fined.


Ellie posted this last night on my Facebook page. I posted the lawsuits, investigations, complaints.... How can all those things be "lies?" Facts are facts. I have a feeling with the tax evasion and donor fraud charges she and her current husband will end up in prison. Her board of directors should be worried. They approved the tax returns.

Ellie Laks, Yael Laks, the Gentle Barn, book, rescue, con, fraud
In the last few days at least 50 people contacted me and said "thanks for posting the truth about this person." They gave me even more information about this group.There have been many unexplained deaths. When volunteers ask what happened to certain animals the volunteers are banned from the property. This person is identical to ***, i.e. fake rescues, made up stories, attacking people, tax evasion, donor fraud, taking money to build things then never building them, books bragging about all the fake wonderful things they're done, extreme marketing, begging for donations in every single post, selling everything to make money, only caring about money and not animals, animals dying, lack of proper care, many complaints by many people, lack of permits, building violations...

This has to do with the 2008 hoarder intervention in Lancaster. I remember this well. It was a bit of a clusterfuck. You have real rescuers then you have people like the Gentle Farm who just want press so they can get donations. Never Cry Wolf rescue does the same thing.

"Before running away he signed all the animals over to A wish for animals. Not being in the market to help farm animals. Toni called in Gentle barn rescue. They took a super sweet dog named Annie who had her face messed up and is missing an eye and pasted her on the front of their website asking for help with medical bills. Annie has been like that for 7 months and animal control had seen her and so had a vet. Gentle barn is asking for donations for her medical bills but she needs none. The wound on her face is actually a scar. Long healed from long ago. Not only have Gentle barn not removed the farm animals, But they have recieved $60,000 in donations that they have pocketed. They have come into the mill and tried to take over, when they have no jurisdiction considering the animals are now the property of A wish for animals.
Not only have they been all over the Television protomoting their supposed "Good Deeds" but they have been stealing from A wish for animals and the local people who have donated to this horrible trajedy. A wish for animals is a wonderful lifesaving rescue who is overwhelmed at this moment with too many dogs to handle. They are running out of donations and running out of resources because Gentle Barn is a money hungry Fraud who is trying to make a buck from a horrible situation. they are literally stealing food and medicine out of the mouths of the animals who so desperatly need it. So in saying this I ask you to please stand up and help me tell gentle barn where they can SHOVE IT."

In the above situation Animal Acres took the farm animals. They are now called Farm Sanctuary LA.

Read the one star reviews. They're all from ex-volunteers, employees. They doubt the finances and animal care records. Animals get sick and it looks like Ellie lets them die. Ellie had a horse calf with a deformity and did not fix it. I guess she wanted people to see her poor deformed horse? There are sooooooo many bad reviews here. She allowed the animals to breed! She said some arrived pregnant but the arrival dates, gestation periods, birth dates don't add up. ***oes this same thing with her lies about fruit bat babies just to get donations. Such story tellers.


UPDATE!!! May 18, 2014. This is totally insane. I read the intro and first chapter of Ellie Laks' book My Gentle Barn. I thought she sounded deranged. Turns out her mother who bought her the farm and brother both posted reviews saying Ellie Laks fabricated her history just to play the victim so she'd have a good story to sell the book and get donations. I thought this but had no proof. Brother said she smoked crack and joined a cult. She was a spoiled child with a wild streak. Others posted that after crack Ellie joined Narcotics Anonymous which is in the book. Below is a comment by Ellie's brother Dan. Her mother also comments and confirms the truth. Her mother stated that if Ellie were not her daughter she would sue for libel. I don't blame her.


I read the first four chapters of Ellie Laks' book last night. She admits she was a crack addict for three years. She admits she is "different." She's an obsessive compulsive and admits to major hoarding tendencies and actually hoarding animals. She said when she had her first child she decided to cut back on rescuing cats and dogs. She realized she was keeping too many and not adopting them out. She then adopted out all animals except eight dogs and 20 plus cats. Legally she could have only had three dogs and three cats where she was living. Even though she lived on agriculture property you can't have a kennel within 500 feet of a residence. She never would have gotten a kennel permit. She admits to being an illegal animal hoarder. She admits she has a trust fund from her parent's divorce. She admits her parents helped her buy her house and get her straight and clean. After all that help she trashed them in her book?

Ellie Laks goes on to state that she then started hoarding farm animals. She hoarded so many, 50 at that time, that she didn't spend enough time with her son or husband. She then called her place The Gentle Barn and had an open house. She said she loved the attention and praise she received so she continued. She also admitted that she saw it as a way to afford to pay for all the animal bills. I'm sure this is what led to the divorce and her husband taking his son. 

In her book My Gentle Barn Ellie Laks admits to exaggerating. She states she communicates with animals through thoughts. They talk to her. Some of these stories are really crazy and very, very hard to believe. She said she had her future read and it came true. She said she was told to watch a movie once a day for 30 days and her financial problems would be over. She admits her neighbor called animal control, health dept, building and safety on her quite a few times. The story about her old neighbor is hard to believe. I can check that out myself. You can have regular pigs in that zone. She admits that having the fire scorch some of her property got her on the news and she got donations. She believes that watching that movie over and over caused that. She admits a local farm animal rescue helped her during the fires but doesn't mention their name or thank them. It was Animal Acres which is now called Farm Sanctuary LA. She admits they had no emergency plan, very irresponsible.

She mentions the 60 dairy cows that needed rescuing which she scrubbed from her website. She said "someone" i.e. her mom and dad, bought her a piece of property. She just needed $100,000 to build a barn. Barns don't cost $100,000. I'm a real estate appraiser. Anyway with this story she goes on Ellen and says she needs $100,000 to build a barn so she can save the dairy cows which will be killed when a dairy farm goes under. AFTER she gets the money she said she called the owner of the cows and he said "business picked up so I won't be closing shop." In actuality the cows never existed. How very convenient. Ellie Laks is just a story teller just li888 Fake, heart breaking rescues of animals. Ellie continues to bad mouth her ex-husband and her family. I don't blame her ex-husband for leaving. I feel bad she didn't give enough attention to her son who may now have issues. She took a parenting class for the second one then finally realized she harmed her son. She blames her parents for that. This book is truly nauseating. Maybe because I'm a local rescuer who has known of these things for years I can see through the bullshit. Oh ya, she mentions her extremely expensive wedding in the book saying it was all Jay's idea.

I noticed that she only changed the names of the people she bad mouthed, i.e. ex-husband. She said he never helped out but that is not the case if you search his real name. She probably didn't want to get sued. She doesn't mention her parents' names. If you were to search their real names,  you will see they are not like the fictional characters in her book. She uses the real names of people whom she writes about positively.

I will try to verify a few things in this book. I doubt I will be able to verify most of her claims.

Yesterday The Gentle Barn posted a pic of a baby California ground squirrel they supposedly rescued. Here is their photo post. They state they called different "wild life" rescuers and we all told them to let it die. They did not contact any wildlife rescuers. We are the closest and main squirrel rescue website in the nation. No wildlife rehabber would tell anyone to just let it die. They state it's two weeks old when it's older. It's eyes should be open but it's dehydrated and emaciated so they're closed.

I posted on the pic offering help and even emailed them. No reply. Today they post another photo.

The Gentle Barn, donor fraud, lawsuits, violations, IRS, Attorney General, DOJ
They posted this after I sent a few emails and commented on the post. You can't message them via Facebook. Here they are asking for donations in a round about way.  I made more comments and sent more email offering help. No reply.

They banned me from their page. They finally emailed me saying the baby is fine. I asked if they took it to a rehabber. They said yes. I asked who and they did not reply. I called the only other ones near them. They were not contacted by them.

I then decided to Google them. This is a very corrupt organization. Many lawsuits, investigations by government agencies. The below lawsuit from two employees states they are a fraud. They went on the Ellen DeGeneres show and begged for donations to rescue 60 cows. They got $200,000. Turns out there were no cows and no cow rescue. Based on the lawsuit they spent the money on lavish vacations, a Las Vegas wedding, home furnishings and such. Read the below articles and lawsuits. First case is BC496370. You can look up documents here http://www.lasuperiorcourt.org

Below is a page from the filing. They raised money to rescue 60 cows but never rescued the cows. In fact there were never 60 cows that needed rescuing.

More from that website. I saved every page and file.


This pdf proves that Ellie Laks animal stories are fake. I know the one about the squirrel is fake.


Here's just an example how Ellie operates. She will post a photo of a happy looking horse and say "this horse was shot, stabbed, run over by a truck, truck backed up over it, ran over it again, left it for dead, it died, then I rescued it (Actually she bought it from a breeder so she could saddle and ride it herself or else she just swiped a pic of someone else's horse). I spoke to it with my thoughts then gave it a blue green algae and tea tree oil enema. (Gentle Barn paid for it and I made a commission!) It came back from the dead and now cures other horses. In fact even though it's a male horse the horse now lactates and feeds baby horses (and cows, sheep, goats, kittens, birds...) when it sees them. I truly am a miracle healer! I am a celestial being! Truth! Please, donate, donate, donate, donate money to show your love! We take cash, check, credit card, bit coin, paypal, blood, sweat, tears, broken hearts...and boats. We love expensive boats, watches, and shit!!!"

This is what other farm animal rescues do. They will post a photo of a happy looking animal and say "Sammy the sheep says 'hello!' Have a great day!" They won't post the bullshit. They won't do the nasty lying bullshit fake fundraising. It will actually be one  of their rescue animals that receives great care.

Here's an article about all their troubles and investigations by Merritt Clifton of Animal People. Merritt Clifton has been covering the animal world for many years.


Labor investigation 1

Labor investigation 2


Ex-volunteer, member tells their story.

Ellie Lak's original email about the 60 cows. This is a different story than what's in her book. In her book she said she heard 60 dairy cows were going to go to slaughter as a dairy farm was closing. She told this to Ellen DeGeneres. They raised the money. Then Ellie said they built the barn. They did not. Then she said they called the dairy farm a month later and the dairy farm told them they found a way to stay open so they'd be keeping the cows. Then Ellie states she promised to use the money to save 60 different cows. She didn't. She just went and bought two calfs. In the story she gave Best Friends she changes things. She can't keep her lies straight. Now the dairy farm is in Santa Clarita. "After weeks of negotiating with the owner of the dairy farm, The Gentle Barn arranged for the cows to be released into their care. They were too sick to go to slaughter and the owner didn't have the money to get them healthy enough to be transferred to the auction house. In order to save these innocent cows and their babies from death by starvation, dehydration and disease, The Gentle Barn needs immediate financial assistance."

Here's photo of the supposed cows. Santa Clarita is a desert. It doesn't rain very often at all. There are no dairy farms in Santa Clarita. These are not dairy cows. All California dairy cows must have ear tags. I see no tags.

Gentle Barn non-existent 60 dairy cows, Ellie Laks, Jay Weiner, fraud, scam



Attorney General report

This is so bizarre that I had to research to make sure it is real. It is real. That means Ellie Laks is crazy. Extreme paranoia and delusion.She believes she is a being in heaven. I worry about her ability to care for her kids. She is living in a delusional world.

From someone who used to volunteer there. This is from a public post on facebook.

"As someone who volunteered for the Gentle Barn at a high level for two years (I was the upper barnyard manager every Sunday during public hours and special person to Billy the Goat until his passing, visiting several times a week), I wold love to say that none of this is true. Unfortunately, I believe it is ALL true. Every last sad, heartbreaking allegation.

I had glimpses here and there from the beginning of my tenure that something was off, but it wasn't until the campaign to raise money for the 60 cows was in full swing (this was the campaign that began Ellen DeGeneres involvement) that so many of us finally saw the depth of all that was wrong. That campaign was built around an original plea for these animals that was accompanied by a very sad picture of sick and suffering cows that was said to be taken of the very cows that were to be rescued. That picture, however, was a fake. It was taken a couple years prior by someone connected to the GB and was of cows somewhere else in a completely different situation. (Imagine this person's surprise upon seeing how the picture was now being used.) Using that picture was necessary, however, because those sixty cows did not exist. The entire story was fictionalized. Once the money was raised (and matched 100% by an anonymous donor), all records of the campaign were meticulously and carefully erased from both their website and their Facebook page. Barns were never built and those cows were never mentioned again. (Well, except by many concerned volunteers, each of who was banned for disloyalty after questioning.)

I stayed as long as I could, watching animal after animal suffer with various physical ailments (and sometimes die untreated because as far as any of us could see, those extra funds did not go to existing animal care either) in a barnyard completely overcrowded at the time of my leaving with not only too many animals for the allotted space but animals living together who should NEVER be living together for the safety of all involved. (That is another story in and of itself.) But living conditions like this abound in any facility where the animals are considered, above all else, donation bait. I left on my own accord and was not banned, but the last time I went as a visitor—paying $20 to get in—I was ultimately asked to leave. Shortly thereafter I was blocked from being able to comment on their Facebook page, a fate that has befallen so many former volunteers.

I don't speak publicly on this often, because shining a bad light on any animal rescue organization runs the risk of putting a blight on rescue in general if people become too cynical or weary of non-profits in general after hearing too many stories about rampant fraud. There are, indeed, WONDERFUL organizations working hard—and honestly—to rescue and rehab farmed and domestic animals right here in Southern California (and all over the country). It is just beyond important to extensively vet any non-profit to which you intend to donate your time or your money. It is easy to be duped by emtionally-wrought stories that pull at your heartstrings and it is easy to be duped because most of us want to be involved, to help others, to feel a connection to something bigger and more important than ourselves. The Gentle Barn founders understand both of these things and are masters at manipulating people accordingly. For those of us who still fiercely believe in the importance of the barn's original mission statement, this situation is beyond heartbreaking.

Needless to say, the California Attorney General's investigation remains extensive and ongoing."

I just read the free beginning of her book "The Gentle Barn." Take a read and you will understand why this person is mentally on edge. Read intro and chapter one. As a kid she would accept candy and toys for sexual favors. She didn't seem to relate too well to people, still doesn't. She says she relates to and loves animals. Her parents supposedly would take her animals away from her. Or maybe Ellie let them die or she killed them? She's not giving animals in her care proper care. She is overloaded. 


More lawsuits.

Here is a Yelp review.


"I went there for the first time today.  I think the place orginally started off with the right intentions but has morphed into something else over the years.  You have to make a $10 "donation" per person, give all your personal information and sign away your rights only to be corralled  like the "rescued" animals waiting to get in.  We got there at about 12:45 and they close at 2:00.  Once they finally let you in they stop you again to tell you a little bit about the place and promote everything they have to sell.  Then they tell you to climb the hill to hear the founder talk.  So you sit with the sun beating down on you watching the minutes tick by.  A few minutes after 1 pm she starts her speech then stops a few times to talk to the lizard on the ground.  She tells a story about one of the animals and then goes into a whole rant about how you should have a plant based diet.  I didn't go to this place to be preached to about how I should not eat meat.  If she chooses to be vegan that's great-that's her choice but I don't care to be basically told that non vegetarians are cruel to animals.  But yet as you walk around you notice that the animals are penned in.They are not free to roam around a pasture.  Some aren't comfortable with human interactions yet they put them on display.  Most of the sheep and goats are penned up and away from human contact.  All except 3 horses were kept in metal stalls.

The website says they have 170 animals and make it sound like it will take awhile to get around to see them all.  You get there only to find out that most of the animals are kept on another property.

Just not sure that this place is the best example of the way animals would choose to live if given the choice. With all the entrance fees they collect, all the people who sponsor the animals, and all the voluteers, it feels like it's a great way for the owners to make a fortune under the disguise of saving animals."

I wonder where all the animals are. She said she's saved so many animals but where are they?

I was just notified that there are two properties. The first is where she gives tours at 15825 Sierra, Santa Clarita, CA 91390. She owns this property in only her name Yael Laks. She kept taking equity out until she went into foreclosure. She ended up getting an $800K loan. How if she states she has no income? Sounds like bank fraud. Her husband also has no income and they have three kids.

The second location is 9225 Sierra Highway, Santa Clarita, CA owned by Gentle Barn Foundation bought in 2009 for $1.1M. It's a mobile home on 15 acres.

Ellie Laks' book is autobiographical though she didn't mention names. Within a few minutes I patched this together. Her father is Dr Hillel Laks a surgeon at UCLA, mother is author Dr Batya Casper, brother is also a doctor Dr Daniel Laks, brother is artist Guy Ilan Laks. They are all successful and well adjusted besides highly educated. Ellie Laks wrote some truly horrible things about her parents. She started Gentle Barn with her ex-husband Michael Callahan. Her first husband was Derrick Fudge. She tried to get a restraining order on him but didn't. I have yet to absolutely, positively verify this but it appears Derrick Fudge is an African American who is 52 years old and a repeat convicted felon. Name, age, address, legal docs so far add up but I find this hard to believe. Maybe that is the guy she did crack with? This is a seriously and deeply troubled person probably since birth.

UPDATE: 0829/14: I sent her and her lawyers a cease and desist. Ellie took down her crazy and defamatory page about me.


08/28/14: Ellie Laks of the Gentle Barn just sent out a totally false and defamatory post about everyone who has ever said anything negative about the Gentle Barn. Ellie Laks admitted she has had major drug issues and mental breakdowns. She also admitted in writing she believes in angels and other crazy things. The Gentle Barn was sued by their employees and had to settle. Animals died at the barn from lack of care. They were neglected to death. Ellie Laks, her husband claim they had no jobs, no income for years. They illegally lived off donations to the Gentle Barn and didn't take a salary or claim income tax. They also have lots of civil litigation and criminal. Below is what Ellie just posted. I sent a cease and desist to her bcc'd to many others. Notice Ellie never sent me a cease and desist, never stated what I wrote was false. She is just telling people to share her defamation to try to harm me and all the others who reported her to authorities. She is adding crazy links of blogs made by mentally ill ***permit. Who would support someone who commits animal cruelty, abuse and neglect? Ellie Lakes of the un-Gentle Barn. I have obviously never been reported for, charged with or convicted of stalking or cyberstalking in my life. I have a perfectly clean record, not even a jay walking ticket. Ellie Laks and Jay Weiner can't say the same.

"The Gentle Barn is under attack from the known cyber stalker, Mary Cummins. Please read this blog so you can know the truth! We do great work in the world and will continue to shine our light and spread our love! Please share!"

"What you have posted in this blog post is 99% false.

http://www.gentlebarn.org/blog/2014/08/28/we-are-under-attack-by-cyber-stalker-mary-cummins/

It is defamation per se besides harassment. If you do not remove this within 24 hours, you will be guilty of defamation per se with malice. I will then sue you, Ellie Yaks, and the Gentle Barn. Your entire board of directors will be liable for this lawsuit. I will be sending this to your lawyers.

Please, cease and desist from harassing, cyberstalking, defaming, slandering and libeling me. What I posted about you is 100% the truth backed by pure facts and statements from your own mother, brother, ex-employees who sued you and volunteers. 99% of my blog post about you is just copy/past absolute facts with underlying documents. What you posted about me is not only totally false but extremely bizarre.

I saw the posts about these two dogs and thought the same thing. Someone just sent me this. 

"I hope you find this in your "other" facebook mail folder. The Gentle Barn made me very suspicious with their tale of two senior dogs, Charlie and Lacey.  The photos and story that The Gentle Barn has posted speak for themselves. Somewhere in April of 2013, The Gentle Barn claimed to have rescued two senior dogs, Charlie and Lacey, who were relinquished by their owner for euthanasia at the animal shelter for the reasons of incontinence and inability to walk. The posts and photos relating to these two dogs disparage the former owner for unbelievable cruelty. After all, these 14 year old dogs merely needed a diet of Sun Chlorella algae and weekly spa treatments including cold laser, acupuncture, and water therapy to be able to walk --and even run-- again, and to regain their continence. Charlie and Lacey were very popular on Facebook, their photos garnering sometimes thousands likes and hundreds of comments praising the good work and selflessness of The Gentle Barn. The dogs are never standing or walking in any photos that I could find. They are always seated on their rear legs. Here is the photo posted on May 8, after both dogs were euthanized for incontinence and inability to walk: https://www.facebook.com/TheGentleBarn/photos/pb.54967149038.-2207520000.1409270699./10152270102204039/?type=3&src=https%3A%2F%2Ffbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.net%2Fhphotos-ak-xpa1%2Fv%2Ft1.0-9%2F10312579_10152270102204039_1720856801161631464_n.jpg%3Foh%3D4e60eda44efa947cf8b50521d8a80e45%26oe%3D545FB44A%26__gda__%3D1417442908_c6785025be312298ff6e8ceb6e8f1a6d&size=640%2C480&fbid=10152270102204039
A photo of the dogs on April 27 claims "Charlie and Lacey were at The Gentle Barn today and were very happy to get lots of deserved attention." No mention of any clue to the fact that the dogs would be put down less than ten days later.
A photo post from April 9, 2014, states:  "Charlie was kept in a backyard his whole life with his best friend, Lacey. When they were 14 years old, arthritic and incontinent they were both taken to the animal shelter to be put down. We didn't think they deserved to go down that way so we took them home to The Gentle Barn and gave them a much deserved bath, good food, Sun Chlorella Algae super food to boost their immune systems, and chiropractic, massage therapy and acupuncture to keep them mobile. Charlie and Lacey are not incontinent anymore and can walk and run and most importantly are loved and cared for and part of our family forever!" 
A mere month later, The Gentle Barn put them down for the very reasons they previously "didn't think they deserved."
In February, almost 10k people "liked" this pic of Lacey being a shill for donations:  https://www.facebook.com/TheGentleBarn/photos/pb.54967149038.-2207520000.1409272453./10152108102594039/?type=3&src=https%3A%2F%2Ffbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net%2Fhphotos-ak-xaf1%2Ft1.0-9%2F1925153_10152108102594039_1052332286_n.jpg&size=720%2C960&fbid=10152108102594039 Which goes to show how The Gentle Barn uses animals to generate money, while clearly lying about the animals health.
Please add poor Charlie and Lacey to the story of the cows, the dishonesty, and the lack of integrity of The Gentle Barn and those who profit from it.
Thank you."

Below is the photo they posted with Ellie's comment.

Gentle Barn Ellie Lakes fraud, scam liars, animal neglect murder 
If "amazing" Ellie Laks could get these dogs to walk, run, control their bladder why were they euth'd for not being able to walk, control their bladder? I bet Ellie Laks bailed them from the shelter, took some pics, begged for money then euthanized them. She waited a couple of months to tell everyone she had to euth them. Based on these posts I don't think she had them a year. This is what this evil scammer does. She uses animals to make money. Disgusting.

Ellie Laks was actually married to Derrick Fudge. I think she also tried to get a restraining order on him.

And it just gets stranger. Pamela Sue Anderson is a supporter of the Gentle Barn and has visited a few times. Last night she said that "despite having loving parents" she too was "raped by a female baby sitter when she was six, a 25 year old when she was 12" then she was "gang raped by her boyfriend and his friends." She said  "My affinity with animals saved me, they came to me naturally. The trees spoke to me. I prayed to the whales with my feet in the ocean, my only real friends until I had children." Is this contagious? I really hope that did not happen to her. She mentions it out of the blue at the launch party for her non-profit animal advocacy group last night. Is she borrowing a page from Ellie's play book on how to make money with stories? Am I the only person in LA who was not raped by a baby sitter or gang raped?


Looks like she read her speech last night. Here it is in her website. She lists all the charities she's worked with except Gentle Barn. This sounds like Ellie talk.
