15 year Anniversary of Raccoon Rescue by Animal Advocates, Mary Cummins


It's been 15 years since the infamous raccoon rescue from a boat in Marina del Rey, California. Peter Wallerstein and Los Angeles County Sheriff helped me take the cage apart to get the raccoon out. The small cage was encrusted in feces inches deep. The person with the raccoon fed and watered him through the bars because the raccoon would bite. We ended up getting him healthy and moved to a much larger enclosure. He ultimately went back to nature. 

Original post about the rescue from January 2011 with lots more photos.

Brigitte Bardot Was a Lifelong Friend to Wildlife 1934-2025 by Animal Advocates Mary Cummins



Brigitte Bardot 1934-2025 was a lifelong friend to wildlife. She used her fame to campaign against inhumane practices such as the commercial seal hunt, whaling, fur trapping, wolf hunting, foie gras, horse meat, animal testing and bullfighting. She stated that wild animals were among the most defenseless victims of the modern economic systems. Her Fondation Brigitte Bardot actively fought against animal cruelty. We're thankful for her life long work helping animals especially wildlife.

Bardot had a complicated legacy which included racism and hate speech. I noticed when she spoke against others it was generally because of their maltreatment of animals and humans. She spoke against Islam and the ritual of Eid al-Adha because of their religious sacrifice of sheep. She spoke against Muslims because some Muslims following Sharia law committed violence and raped women. She spoke against Reunion Islanders because of treatment of animals specifically targeting the Hindu Tamil population's practice of sacrificing goats. She should have only condemned their maltreatment of animals and humans and not attacked or mentioned their religion, race or other attributes.  For instance we are against the Jewish ritual of religious animal sacrifice of chickens called Kapparot. It's only practiced by a few Jewish people. Most Jewish people are against it. We support Jewish people and only condemn the cruel Kapparot practice. Bardot didn't always make that distinction. #brigittebardot #AnimalAdvocates #marycummins #wildliferescue

Animal Advocates, Project Street Vet, SELAH Helping Homeless & Their Pets in Los Angeles, California - Mary Cummins



Mary Cummins and Animal Advocates volunteered today with Project Street Vet examining pets, giving vaccinations, flea treatment, meds for homeless people in Echo Park. We did outreach today at three different locations where homeless are located. We started at A Bridge Home at 3210 Riverside Dr in Los Feliz. It opened around 2020. It's a 100 bed facility for men and women. They accept pets. I think we helped about eight dogs and seven cats today. We were in Echo Park and Silver Lake. The veterinarian today was Dr Bridgid Twomey. Volunteers were Obeth, Cari, Mercy. Elizabeth Wagner coordinated.

I was at the Hollywood Studio Club with Project Street Vet and People Assisting the Homeless - PATH helping to treat homeless pets. We gave exams, vaccinations, meds and referrals for spay neuter. Project Street Vet Animal Advocates #projectstreetvet #AnimalAdvocates #marycummins #losangeles #california #cats #dogs



I was at the Hollywood Studio Club with Project Street Vet and People Assisting the Homeless - PATH helping to treat pets. We gave exams, vaccinations, meds and referrals for spay neuter. I asked the people if I could take their photos. The mission was to provide support to pets and their owners experiencing or at risk of homelessness.

Hollywood Studio Club is a YMCA and women's shelter at1215 Lodi Place, Los Angeles, CA 90038. It used to house female actors in the 1920's to 1960's. It's a historical building. Very cool to finally visit.

Dr Jane Goodall Passes Away at 91 in Los Angeles, California - Animal Advocates, Mary Cummins


Dr. Jane Goodall peacefully passed away at 91 in her sleep at Los Angeles, California. She personally helped our organization. She was fond of skunks and our skunk rescues. She was supposed to speak at UCLA October 3. She was going to speak in Pasadena at a tree planting today but never made it. She previously stated this about dying. “My next great adventure, aged 90, is going to be dying. There’s either nothing or something. If there’s nothing there’s nothing, that’s it. If there’s something I can’t think of a greater adventure than finding out  what it is. I happen to think there is something because of the experiences I’ve had, because of experiences other people have had. Very powerful ones.” #drjanegoodall #JaneGoodall #AnimalAdvocates #animalrescue

Greenland Wildlife Overpass vs Annenberg Wildlife Crossing. Which is bigger? Mary Cummins Animal Advocates

Greenland Wildlife Overpass

Annenberg Wildlife Crossing

I just heard that the Greenland Wildlife Overpass will be the largest wildlife crossing in the world. They broke ground January 2025 and expect to finish December 2025. The overpass will go over six lanes of the I-25 in Colorado. The cost is $15,000,000. I was wondering how that compares to the Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing. Here are the numbers below.

Greenland Wildlife Overpass
Size: 209' x 200' wide, 41,800 sf area, six lanes
Cost: $15M 
Location: I-25, Monument, Douglas, Colorado
Time to build: one year
https://www.codot.gov/projects/i25greenlandwildlifeoverpass

Annenberg Wildlife Crossing
Size: 210' x 165' 34,650 sf area, ten lanes
Cost: $90M
Location: 101 fwy in Agoura Hills, Los Angeles, California
Time to build: April 2022 ground breaking, expected completion June 2026, four years
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wallis_Annenberg_Wildlife_Crossing

Colorado crossing is larger, costs less and will be built more quickly. There are of course some major differences. The Colorado one is on flat ground and only goes over one freeway. Annenberg crossing is on sloped hilly ground and goes over one freeway and a two lane street. Things cost a lot more in Los Angeles, California especially construction, materials and labor. I've been a real estate appraiser, broker over 42 years and appraise construction projects. We also have seismic, soils issues and requirements besides CEQA and other regulations. I don't know if they are including the cost of buying the land. California crossing had to purchase some land for access. It wasn't all county land. 

Nice to see other states building wildlife crossings. I'm sure the cost of the crossings will go down with the sharing of plans, research and technology.

IWRC Works with Research Commons by Mary Cummins Animal Advocates



The International Wildlife Rehabilitation Council IWRC is now working with the Research Commons. This is a great idea. Wildlife rehabilitators are on the front lines of wildlife issues. We are the first to see the results of oil spills, mass die offs and the spread of new diseases. I remember when we first got West Nile Virus in squirrels around 2002 or 2003. It happened around the same time it affected crows here in Los Angeles, California. Would have been great to be able to share our findings, necropsies with researchers to better understand the disease and the threat it posed to humans and other animals.

"The IWRC is so happy to announce a new member benefit - the Research Commons! Wildlife Rehabilitation facilities represent a vastly underutilized resource for wildlife health research and monitoring. Wildlife rehabilitators stand at the intersection between public health and wildlife health; with access to hundreds of thousands of living and dead wild animals annually around the world, as well as a direct line of communication with invested stakeholders in their communities through volunteer programs, wildlife education and conservation efforts, and compelling media stories.

Despite a growing recognition by both wildlife rehabilitators and researchers that there is a great need for partnership and a wealth of data to be mined, the road to collaboration can sometimes be unnecessarily bumpy. To help with that, the Research Commons offer a shared space to put out the call for collaborators from both sides of the equation - researchers who are looking for partners and access to data or samples, and rehabilitators who are facing emerging issues and need help investigating. Add your project today!"
