Hello, I'm back to post a chat I just had with a fellow who came by for some fish. He used to live in my county and he had one heck of a horror story to tell me about his personal living heck he had with a crazed animal rights woman.
Most of you, like I used to think, believe that AR madness won't come to your door. "It only happens to other people" or "It's not as bad as they say, they must be exaggerating." Well, that's total crud and now I know it's the truth.
This man had a large and very well kept farm, 18 perfectly spoiled horses, barn cats, dogs, fish in a pond and some birds. He innocently went to work one day, just like most of us do, to only to come home and find wires had been cut and nearly all of his animals were gone!
A woman from an animal rescue in my State had decided to show up and illegally trespass and steal all of his animals. She pressed charges against him that she made up, used a picture cropped to one single over grown hoof of a horse this man had never even owned. He had to pay 25k to try and fight her in court. He had his two farriers and large animal and small animal veterinarians fight and support him. She killed half of his animals soon after she stole them, before she even had legal custody of them, she sued him after his cat got sick after a week in her care and then used an AR vet to say the cat had to be killed because of a small upper respiratory issue. She sued him for 80k for the supposed rehabilitation of the horses and dogs. She forced the judge to switch with another judge known to work with the AR and steal animals. He had to file for bankruptcy after she later tried to sue him again for another 25k and she even came back to harass him three years later!
He had a chain gate at the start of his half mile long private driveway, closed gates and paths, No trespassing signs posted everywhere and hot wire fencing. She ignored everything, she cut wires and locks. She left zero notice that there even was a problem. She made up complete lies about all the animals and when the first judge realized her crud, she forced him to step off the case and the residential AR judge came up and ignored the truth and evidence and gave her everything she asked for.
This woman sends her staff to spy randomly at people's houses and farms, they search Craigslist ads and lie to get into people's homes or property just to make up false cruelty charges or to make deals to give up custody of one animal just so you can keep the other one. She brings dog food to trailer park residence during the holidays and brings toys to their kids and then demands the dogs live indoors and never left outside on chains or she comes back and steals them. They go to auctions and get information about people with good intentions, she gets huge donations by the large farms in the area and has people come to her if you fight with your neighbor to then take their animals in revenge fashion.
I couldn't believe it. It really does sound like something from a movie, how can people get away with this pure evil? How can the court allow it, how is there no help for these people who are screwed over for having a healthy and well cared for pet? And it's going on right here, in my own town! I'm using the word "steal" not because I'm trying to over sell it, but because it's the truth.
I'm now saving up money for a security system with real cameras and a recording system. Clearly, nothing else stops them, they get away with illegal activity and no one stops them!
If you don't already have a 100% closed farm or rabbitry, have one now. It's not bad enough that they steal all your animals, but then they even take your money and bankrupt you. Loosing a couple sales because of a closed farm policy is nothing compared to loosing everything, your house, ruining your life.
I cannot believe this goes on. I wish we could form some kind of assistance program for people who gets scammed like this. Or a network where known AR insanity goes on, the people behind it and the 'rescues' who do this will be well known and easy to access.
Good luck everyone. Can only hope no one else falls victim to this madness.
