“Jeff Kozlowski robbed the bank in Dalton WI in the early 1990's and was in prison for the armed bank robbery” Some things catch your attention.

As of about 6 AM, it's 4 degrees in Rock Springs, WI; home of Wisconsin Big Cat Rescue, current or soon to be home of several…
The PETCO sales of U.S. Global Exotics' assets have been called off. Of course, no report of how many of the animals were sold before that but I didn't expect to see one.
Wild Rescue, Inc. has taken on thousands of the USGE animals from SPCA…
USGE reptiles, about 500, are headed for Phoenix. And they should arrive just in time for the BIG annual fund raiser! “This year's theme is Mardi Gras and the party will really be on! With Vegas-Style Gambling Tables, Tarot Card Readings, Auctions, a Grand Prize Raffle and more. Plus, you'll g…
“Thousands of exotic animals [from U.S. Global Exotics] are making a road trip to Detroit. SPCA of Texas has arranged for different groups — including the Detroit Zoo — to take control of the animals and insects…” And the Detroit Zoo goes on my pro-PETA, not to be trusted or supported lis…
“The stench was so strong, you could hardly breathe.” Was it really? Or did you convince yourself it would be before you ever got there? Sense of smell is a powerful thing, as is the mind’s ability to invent them, more so to simply exaggerate them. When objective measurements are used, that “o…
I asked a friend to call and, after getting a bit of runaround and mild attempts at intimidation, it appears that the hearing on the Hoffman animals will be Thursday morning, February 4, at 11 AM in the District Court’s courtroom which is located in the Marion County Courthouse in Jefferson, TX.
T…
Since much is being made of the Hoffman/Lulling case from Edinburg, I think it appropriate to address this separately.
Edinburg’s Animal Regulation ordinances are in Title IX, Chapter 91 of their City Ordinances. §91.01 contains a nominal set of definitions. Dog is defined but it doesn’t even bo…
Every time I read of one of these animal seizures, I know there is a back story. The media treats us to stark pictures of people and animals burst upon unexpectedly by an overwhelming hoard of officials who roll in with huge, noisy equipment; terrifying both the humans and the animals. It seems th…
My, my, my how the truth is slipping out quickly on this one. According to earlier comments on the issue of the hedgehogs, someone said the Hedgehog Welfare Society (HWS) will be the “owner” of the hedgehogs and they’ll be farmed out for caretaking. Of course, with ownership comes the legal respon…
"'For some of the common household pets, the hamsters and the hedgehogs, getting to see those in a caring and loving home', said Bias." And there's the confirmation right from the (part) horse's mouth!
"The SPCA is not adopting out the animals to private individuals. Anyone wanting to adopt the an…
Despite all the representations to the contrary, the SPCA of Texas is selling the prolific hedgehogs to the same people who would have purchased them from USGE and even shipping them internationally. "The hedgehogs. Volunteers are trying to adopt out nearly 600... found homes for most; some adoptiv…
Ms. Schrock, my how you like to continue to use that “27,000” even though you know full well that a large number of the animals have since died or been killed while in the City of Arlington’s custody.
Sadly, but …
“should more than 20,000 exotic creatures…” Hm, how interesting that it says 20,000 instead of 27,000 because the day before this was in print: “the enormous task of feeding, watering and cleaning goes on every day for about 27,000 animals” but then that's just fudging 15% or a great deal …
Jim Douglas (news video): “PETA, the SPCA, and City of Arlington all say the Court does not have the authority to overrule the Municipal Judge. They claim the matter’s settled.” But the CURRENT statute on point says: “An owner divested of ownership of an animal under Section 821.023 may ap…
