Mary Cummins, Animal Advocates rescues coyotes in Los Angeles, California

Animal Advocates, Mary Cummins is licensed, permitted to rescue coyotes in Los Angeles, California

Mary Cummins 17 Jan 2010 23:49 GMT

Animal Advocates has been rescuing ill, injured and orphaned coyotes in the Los Angeles area of California. We also provide humane coyote control and speak to groups about dealing with coyote issues. We recently received our permit to permanently rehabilitate coyotes at our own facility.
Coyotes in Los Angeles, California weighs 20-35 pounds and stand 23 to 26 inches at the shoulder. The coyote looks similar to a smaller tan colored shepherd-type dog with long pointed muzzle, large ears, long legs and a bushy tail.

  Coyotes, whose natural habitat is the Los Angeles basin, have adjusted to their shrinking habitat by living closer to humans, sometimes in residential areas, parks and on the landscaped areas of the freeway system.

Because coyotes are now habituating closer to humans, they suffer the effects of our existence. They are hit by cars or are poisoned from eating poisoned ground squirrels and rats. They also succumb to sarcoptic mange from mites.

If you find ill, injured or orphaned wildlife, contact us or visit our website so we can help you or refer you to someone who can.

Animal Advocates is a non-profit corporation recognized by the IRS. We operate on donations from the public. We are licensed by the California Department of Fish & Game to rescue ill, injured and orphaned wildlife for release back to the wild. We rescue coyotes, bobcats, raccoons, foxes, opossums, skunks, squirrels, moles, voles, gophers, bats and more.

The City of Los Angeles Approves a New Wildlife Policy - Mary Cummins, Animal Advocates

The City of Los Angeles Approves a New Wildlife Policy

August 24, 2004 02:50 PM Eastern Daylight Time

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 24, 2004--The Los Angeles Animal Services Commission yesterday unanimously approved a new wildlife policy for the city. Under the new policy, the department will allow wildlife rehabilitators licensed by the California Department of Fish and Game to respond to calls from members of the public, and take ill, injured and orphaned wildlife from city animal shelters. Additionally, the department will only issue trapping permits to trap animals that are ill, injured, orphaned, or pose an immediate threat to public safety. Animal Services will no longer issue permits to trap healthy wildlife that pose no threat. As per Fish and Game regulations, all healthy trapped wildlife taken to the shelter legally would have been killed.

LA Animal Services Commission Vice President Alex Rubalcava said, "Animal Services' new wildlife policy reflects our desire to teach city residents how to co-exist with the native wildlife in their communities, and minimize the flow of animals into our shelters. Working with rehabbers -- who have the requisite knowledge and experience, as well as licensing from Fish and Game -- was the perfect way to achieve our goal of returning animals to their habitats instead of being forced to euthanize them. Our thanks go out to Animal Advocates, The Urban Wildlands Group, and others who helped us devise this program."

“We applaud this forward-looking effort to live more harmoniously with the City's wildlife”

Mary Cummins, President of Animal Advocates, first submitted the proposed wildlife policy over two years ago. Cummins stated "Animal Advocates is very pleased to have been able to help the city implement a plan to save the city's wildlife. We would like to thank Mayor Hahn, City Council members, LA Animal Services commissioners, members of the Wildlife Committee, The Urban Wildlands Group and the Department for their help in approving this much needed new policy." "We applaud this forward-looking effort to live more harmoniously with the City's wildlife," said Catherine Rich, Executive Officer of The Urban Wildlands Group.

The Wildlife Committee is currently looking for more licensed wildlife rehabilitators to help pick up and rehabilitate the wildlife. They also need people to answer inquiries from the public in regard to nuisance wildlife issues. Please contact Committee@AnimalAdvocates.us for more information.

Opossum, possum, Mary Cummins, Animal Advocates, Los Angeles, California

Arrest made in Santa Cruz pizzeria perished possum case

POSTED: 12:35 PM PDT Oct 10, 2014

SANTA CRUZ, Calif. -
Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter officials say a 31-year-old man has been arrested in connection with an opossum that died after being doused with bleach at a pizzeria.

The animal shelter has been investigating a report that an employee at South Beach Pizza in Santa Cruz poured bleach on the marsupial last weekend.

A fellow employee brought the baby animal to a wildlife rescue center for treatment but it later died, officials said.

Alan Thomas Rockwood of Santa Cruz was charged on Thursday with one count of cruelty to animals, and later released. Animal shelter officials say Rockwood confessed to pouring bleach on the animal on Oct. 4.

Officials say Rockwood allegedly poured bleach on it in an attempt to kill it after it became trapped in a trashcan outside the Beach Street business.

A necropsy was conducted at the Animal Shelter and a veterinarian determined the animal died of pneumonia. The animals’ lungs were sent for microscopic examination of the tissue to find evidence of bleach. The toxicology report is pending.

Please, send an email to Bob Lee, District Attorney, County of Santa Cruz to let them know you want this person prosecuted. Use the info below or use their online form here

Here's a sample email. Feel free to personalize it.

"I deeply care about our native wildlife and will always stand up for their proper treatment. I urge you to prosecute this opossum killer to the fullest extent of the law.

Many people don't understand wildlife behavior and kill innocent animals due to unfounded fears. Opossums are shy creatures with few defenses. The baby opossum in this case was trapped in a trashcan and doused with full-concentration bleach, which is extremely toxic.

Fortunately, the Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter arrested the employee responsible for pouring bleach on the opossum. Now, I'm asking you to prosecute this wildlife killer and push for the maximum sentence possible. I don't want this baby opossum to have died in vain. I'm counting on you to do the right thing and uphold the law to send a strong message against animal cruelty."
