Response to Notary Board Complaint Presumably Filed by Bobbi Corona

I would like some evidence that Bobbi Corona actually filed this complaint because it is not signed and the person responsible for the bulk of these kinds of frivolous attacks is Joe Schreibvogel who operates under a number of aliases.  I suspect that he is actually the one to have filed this complaint.  He has filed numerous other false complaints with the USDA, the Florida Wildlife Commission, the EPA and other state agencies.

 

It is a slanderous assertion by the complainant to suggest that my parents "have a record of IRS misdealings" or that "It has long been suspected that Carole Baskin has been frauding the public."  It is this last line that leads me to believe that this complaint was actually penned by Joe Schreibvogel because it is typical of his poor grasp of grammar and spelling and a phrase he often uses in his ranting.

 

It is also untrue to assert that real estate holdings are funneled through non profits.  The fact of the matter is that I had real estate that I donated to the non profit, Big Cat Rescue, so that it could provide the income needed in the early years of the sanctuary to feed and maintain 100+ big cats.  I put the land, rental properties and mortgages into trusts so that they would pass through my estate to the sanctuary.  I do not benefit from any of the properties that I have put in trust for the sanctuary and have not drawn a paycheck from the non profit.

 

The reason these attacks are being made is because I have been very successful in lobbying for laws to end the abuse and trade in big cats as pets, props and for their parts.  The largest contributing factor to the thousands of lions and tigers who are now being kept in basements, backyards and warehouses across America is from the exploitation of cubs who are trotted out to malls, flea markets and fairs for use as photo and petting props.  Our campaign to end this abuse has outraged those who make their living from such abuse.

 

Now, as to the specific complaints:  Perhaps I am misunderstanding the intent of the law, but I have understood this section to mean that  I could notarize a parent or child's signature in the course of business in which I was employed as long as doing so was not deriving a financial benefit to me.  I am self employed in the real estate business and employed by Big Cat Rescue as the CEO, although I take no pay or benefit from my role there.  I have been the CEO or President since its creation in 1995 and have never been paid by the non profit and never derived a financial benefit from the organization.  I donated my home and the 40 acres it was on to the non profit and moved off property so that it would be clear that I was not benefitting from the sanctuary.  I have arranged these in chronological order as it will make more sense to see the actual flow of transactions.

 

I've been writing my story since I was able to write, but when the media goes to share it, they only choose the parts that fit their idea of what will generate views.  If I'm going to share my story, it should be the whole story.  The titles are the dates things happened.

I know there will be people who take things out of context and try to use them to validate their own misconception, but you have access to the whole story.  My hope is that others will recognize themselves in my words and have the strength to do what is right for themselves and our shared planet.
