Sabu and Jinx!

I just couldn't resist posting some pictures and a video of two former WAO lions, Jinx and Sabu.  I really, really miss them.

I started the WAO case to save Bubba, Princess, Sabu, and Jake.  Turns out the only animal to survive the WAO horror was Sabu.  Thank God at least one of the animals made it out of that "hell hole" alive.  I'm just saddened that the other three did not make it out alive too.

I am worried about Sabu because his vitamin A level has been staying steady at 142, despite the increase of Vitamin A supplements added to his food.  I pray it goes up when the weather gets a little cooler for my boy!  I will never forgive the WAO board and staff for not caring for the WAO animals in the manner that they deserved.  Because of their indifference, Sabu's health has been permanently compromised.    

Sa-boooo!  I miss you!

Sabu loves enrichment day!

Sabu loves his pizza box filled with horse poo!

Is It Time to Move On Yet?

I planned to post a couple of videos of a sanctuary that took three WAO animals (1 tiger and 2 lions) showing that even though they are living in large enclosures, they have very little enrichment or structures to escape the hot desert sun or freezing winter snow.  Both enclosures were stark, with just one ball in each enclosure.  Breaks my heart that they are living like that -- that they are just big cats in a cage -- very much like the WAO.  The only saving grace is that they do look better than they did at the WAO.  And for that, I am grateful.  

Then I was going to post a few updated photos of some of the big cats enjoying their new home, but then I decided it's time to let them all go, with one exception.  For the last year I've been helping a sanctuary raise funds for former WAO animals that arrived at the sanctuary with serious health conditions. Slowly, I'm beginning to change my life, moving away from the WAO case, as it winds down.

It's time to get my life back on track and spend some quality time with my own family and friends.  I still cannot get over how much I gave up to pursue this case.  

I will continue to pray that the people who stole charitable contributions and killed animals at the WAO will be brought to justice.  

I can dream, can't I?

Another WAO Operations Report Missing!

It comes as no surprise that the WAO's July 2012 Operations report is MIA--again.  I'm thinking that Jamie Cryer was contacted last month by IFAW or some other animal group to help them with the "rescue" efforts after Hurricane Issac hit the Louisiana area once more (boy does this remind me of the WAO fiasco in 2005-2006 with Hurricanes Katrina and Rita).  If true, then it wouldn't surprise me in the least if he withdrew WAO funds and used WAO equipment to "rescue" the latest "victims of the storm" and kept any monies paid by the organization(s) that secured his "services" as payment!

Meanwhile, we wait for the MIA operations report.

Dear Sirs:

Are you aware that the Cryers have not submitted their operations report for the month of July 2012? In light of all the unusual withdrawals made over the last several months by the Cryers, I would hope your Office would be keeping close tabs on how the WAO funds are spent. There are still primates living at the Talley Road property, therefore, shouldn't there still be operation reports submitted to the Western District Bankruptcy Court?

Still no operations report filed with the Western District Bankruptcy Court.  I guess the TX OAG's Office doesn't care if the Cryers are stealing more money from the WAO?
