Born Free Public Information Material

Below are just a few documents I acquired under the Texas OAG Public Information Act.  For the most part, the documents received were drafts and redrafts of the final agreement between the Texas OAG and Born Free.  There were a few pages that were of interest and I've included them below: 

Public Information Act Document - November 2011

I now know Kaleb is the baboon going to Born Free.  I also learned that the coveted WAO mailing list was not much use to the organization as it claimed only about 4,000 contacts were viable.  Just goes to show the Cryers did not have the real mailing list of over 80,000 names/addresses.  There was a lot of emphasis to move the agreement between WAO, OAG, and Born Free quickly because Born Free wanted to include their latest acquisitions in an upcoming winter magazine so they can appeal to their donor base for more money.  I wonder if they will tell the donor base how much money Born Free received from the WAO in a form of a "dowry?"

I also learned that the OAG (Hal Morris) was more interested in moving this case along than the WAO's attorney (I'm shocked). 

Looks like there are not 112 macaques as reported in the media, but more like 107?  According to the records, there were 112 macaques reported in September 2011, but by November 2011 the OAG learned there may only be 107 macaques left.  Even the OAG acknowledged it was hard to get an accurate number as one or more may die before the transfer?  Yikes!  I have a feeling about 100 macaques will end up finally moving to Born Free.

And finally, there is Joan Byron-Marasek's Public Information Request for documents pertaining to the WAO case.  If she hadn't gone off the deep end and filed false information against me with the OAG in 2009, she'd already have these documents!  Too bad most of the stuff she is asking for is previledged information at this time.
