Exploiters Attack Animal Advisory Committee

This was an email from Carole to Howie explaining who was behind the campaign to remove me from the Animal Advisory Committee.

 

Complaint by Exotic Pet Owners Uniting c/o Penny Stoven at justbarnyard

 

I don’t know if she is just beyond understanding, or if she doesn’t want to understand.  She doesn’t want her chat list EPOU.org to be listed on our web site and asked me to remove it, but it was in the body of the letter we wrote to Commissioner Blair because Raven Simons had cross posted it from EPOU’s site to the Phoenix Exotics site and that is where we found it to include in our letter to Commissioner Blair to show him this was an organized effort of the exotic pet people to discredit Big Cat Rescue by having me removed from the Animal Advisory Committee.

 

I explained to her that I couldn’t delete a portion of the letter because I was showing to the world the entirety of  what had transpired.  Neither she, nor her organization were referenced at all, as it just happened that the email had their address in it.

 

This is the substance of what she is complaining about, which was in the body of the letter to Commissioner Blair:

 

…Below is an email being circulated by these people to generate the emails that you no doubt will have received from this group over the weekend.  Since they are urging that they be sent by Sunday June 4, I suspect they somehow know that I have a tentative appointment to see you in a tiny gap that you may have in your schedule, although I understand it may close if you run late.

 

Below is the email that was circulated to generate emails to you this past weekend:

 

From: EPOU On Behalf Of Raven Simons Sent: Friday, June 02, 2006 5:59 PM To: Subject: [EPOU] FW: FL Animal Rights activist removed from Animal Advisory

 

Hello all,  I am asking an important favor of everyone. Please write a thank you letter to Mr. Brian Blair for removing Carole Lewis Baskin (Big Cat Rescue and Humane USA) from the Hillsborough County Animal Advisory Committee. Carole is having a fit at being removed. Mr. Blair needs to show community support on this decision.

 

To all the bird people- This is the women that posted our names and address on her Humane USA website.

 

To all the pet owners- I welcome anyone to attend the meetings with us. This group called the Animal Advisory committee are nuts. They are extreme in their views.

 

Please feel free to forward this email to supportive individuals. We need as many letters as possible by Sunday 6/4/06. Anyone and everyone can write a letter, not just Hillsborough County people. This effects any animal owner. Counties tend to follow each other's lead.

 

Animal rights activist do not have a place on an advisory committee. They have a personal agenda that is not in anyone's best interest, including the animals.

 

Mr. Blair can be reached at [email protected] . I am including the letter that I sent.  Thank you,  Lisa

 

(Carole’s note: I am not sure if this letter was from Lisa Walker or Lisa Welch, but both were animal exploiters who hated me.)

From the future; this is who Lisa Walker was & how it turned out:

 

2010-09-09 Brian Blair lost his seat as Commissioner in the election.

 

2010-09-23 Jim Norman appointed Lisa Walker to the Animal Advisory Board.  She was one of the people who filed one of the false BBB complaints against us.

 

When Carole Baskin and Big Cat Rescue became known for trying to stop the trade in exotic cats as pets, several of the exotics dealers enlisted pet breeders to began slandering her in an attempt to draw the attention off the subject; Dangerous Animals as Pets, which is not a subject anyone can defend, and try to misdirect attention in any way she can.  Carole Baskin had advocated strongly for laws that banned dog fighting in 2006 and 2007.  Carole had been appointed to the Animal Advisory Committee and was elected President with a primary task of reducing the euthanasia rate in Hillsbo
