Question? What could possibly motivate the female director to return to work after staying away for almost a month on vacation (on a so-called "family emergency")? How about a $379,000+ check?!? Turns out the sale of a California property, willed to the pseudo-sanctuary as part of an estate, finally came through and today the pseudo-sanctuary was supposed to receive the check. I wonder how long it will take for the directors to spend the money?
Perhaps some of the money will be used to purchase meat for the big cats, maybe something other than chicken thighs? Reports of a meat shortage has me concerned and I pray the money will be spent on the animals instead of the directors, their family members and/or friends. There should be no more $5k per year "staff meetings" until the animals are given proper medical care and species appropriate diets.
Oh, and how about vet care for the primates urinating blood? Does any of this sound unreasonable for a supposed animal "sanctuary?"
Meanwhile, it looks like the USDA may have denied the pseudo-directors' request to dismiss the USDA charges and fines in lieu of building a perimeter fence around the unlicensed, unregulated property. Apparently the female director elected not to respond to the USDA's written response sent last month and when finally prompted by the USDA, elected to ask for yet another extension. Delays, delays, delays. Why doesn't she just pay the fines, hummmm? So now, the female director requested another extension, as if two years was not enough time to make a decision as to whether or not to pay the fines or go to court -- all under the pretext that she must consult the "board" before making a decision. As if she ever consulted the "board" when it came to paying past fines in the past. Delays, delays, delays.
