Freedom of Speech

Cummins is an advocate on freedom of speech issues. In the past 20 years she has written reports on securities fraud and animal cruelty cases. In two of these cases she was sued for defamation in retaliation for posting her reports on the Internet and filing complaints with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)and authorities.
"Fredric Rittereiser, Ashton Technology vs Mary Cummins", 2000. In this case the CEO of Ashton Technology Fredric Rittereiser and the company sued Cummins for defamation and tortious interference. Cummins represented herself pro se and won this case in November 2001.
"Kathy Knight-McConnell vs Mary Cummins", July 2003. In this case company paid stock promoter Kathy Knight-McConnell sued Cummins for defamation, trademark infringement and securities claims. Cummins represented herself pro se and won in 2004. This case set case law precedence as this was the beginning of internet law.

Bat World v Mary Cummins. In this case Cummins reported Amanda Lollar and Bat World Sanctuary to authorities for animal cruelty, violations of the Animal Welfare Act and other violations. As a result they lost their USDA permit. In retaliation Cummins was sued for defamation and breach of contract. Lollar also began stalking, cyberstalking and defaming Cummins. Cummins received a restraining order against Lollar. All but one claim was reversed on appeal. The Appeals Court confirmed that Lollar forged her exhibits and submitted perjured testimony which are crimes. Lollar is currently under investigation for prosecution. The case is ongoing.

Ed Boks

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ed Boks (Born August 14, 1951 in Harper Woods, Michigan) is the former head of the Los Angeles
Department of Animal Services (January 2006 to April 2009). "Boks resigned in the face of pressure
from officials, with complaints over his decision-making and operation of the department."[1]
During his tenure at Los Angeles Animal Services Boks' term was marred with controversy.[2]Boks'
predecessor, Guerdon Stuckey, had been the target of threats and a smoke bomb attack by extremist
animal rights activists. Stuckey was fired by Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, and replaced by
Boks.[3] Dr. Gary Michelson introduced Ed Boks to the Mayor and suggested that he hire him in
exchange for $10,000,000.[4][5][6] Animal Defense League Los Angeles and the Animal Liberation
Front attacked Ed Boks through protests at his residence and direction action[7]. Boks was known for
advocating a "No-Kill" approach in his previous positions in Maricopa County, Arizona and New York
City though he never made any of those shelters "No-kill."[8]He was fired from New York City Animal
Control after being sued for racial discrimination. He fired an experienced black employee so he could
hire his white friend who had a criminal record. The judge ruled that "defendant terminated plaintiff
because of his race."[9]

During his last year at Los Angeles Animal Services, criticism of his performance grew, as members of
the city council and his own staff increasingly expressed their lack of confidence. City Councilmember
Richard Alarcon made a motion for a vote of "no confidence" in Ed Boks[10]which was seconded by
Councilmembers Dennis Zine, Bernard Parks, Eric Garcetti and Tony Cardenas.[11]Boks was also sued
by animal activist Mary Cummins-Cobb for sexual harassment. [12]The complaint states that Boks
"showed up at Plaintiff's home unannounced, uninvited, and drunk, after being told by Plaintiff not to
come" over.[13]Settlement was $130,000 which was approved by every council member.[14]
Boks was forced to resign his post and left Los Angeles Animal Services on April 24, 2009, effective
June 30, 2009. He spent his last two months out of the office with the Assistant General Manager acting
in his place.[15]Though LA Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa issued a statement thanking Ed Boks for his
service trying to make Los Angeles a "no kill" city, Ed Boks noted that it had been a mutual decision
between himself and city officials[16].

Since leaving Los Angeles Animal Services Boks applied for a job at Whatcom Humane Society for 1/3
his previous salary. [17]After much controversy caused by Boks' poor reputation and a Los Angeles City
press release which he falsified[18]that position was instead given to another candidate.[19]

Prior to being involved in animal control Boks was a Pastor at a Christian church and school in Phoenix,
Arizona in the 1980's. "Boks has an unlikely background: He never graduated from college, worked as a
minister and fought an allergy to cats much of his life."[20]

Mary Cummins Animal Advocates Los Angeles, California Wildlife Rehabilitation

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

Santa Cruz, CA 95060

E-mail:  dao@co.santa-cruz.ca.us
Telephone:  (831) 454-2400

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."
