Another long but rewarding day as we welcomed 19 rhesus macaques from WAO. Looks like they'll setttle in nicely but definitely not as laid-back as the stump-tails. The picture here is of Finnegan, a 31 year old male rhesus who still likes to think he's boss. He casually strolled around the new enclosure and then climbed right up a mesquite tree like he had been doing it every day for years. Welcome home rhesus monkeys!!!

Could It Be That the Last of the WAO Moved to Born Free?
I'm waiting for the final word that the last of the animals finally left the WAO! Excited!!

Stumptailed Monks are Now FREE from the WAO Clutches!
The last of the WAO animals are almost FREE from the horrible clutches of the WAO!!
Like This Page 9.24.12
What a day! The remaining stump-tails (23 of them!) arrived in good shape late this afternoon and seemed excited (and definitely hungry) when they were let out into their temporary quarters. The staff and veterinarians assisting at WAO worked hard and had a long day but did a great job making sure all of the monkeys were well cared for and safe. Tomorrow the stumpers will be let out into their main enclosure and the rhesus macaques will be joining us. Wednesday it's the remaining long-tails and Kaleb, the baboon. We're almost there!

One Day Closer to the Day WAO Closes Plus Missing Report
One day closer to when the WAO closes it doors forever!

I checked Kim Meyer and Michelle Cryer's Facebook "friends" pages and noticed that neither one carries the other as a FB buddy anymore. Now that is very interesting. Does that mean that Kim no longer "works" at the WAO? If so, why did she leave? And who will be completing and submitting the WAO's operation report to the bankruptcy court? This is very scary news and I pray the OAG follows up on why the reports are late and how the money is being spent.
Staff member Raychel Steines puts nail to wood as we hurry to finish up the climbing structures in time for the final groups of WAO monkeys who will be arriving this coming Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. By next Thursday all 107 monkeys and the lone baboon will be in their new homes, ready to start a great new chapter in their lives!
Meanwhile, the Cryers still have NOT filed it's July 2012 Business Operations Report. In fact, August's report is due about NOW! So I sent a second message, same subject, to reiterate the need to track how the Cryers are spending WAO funds.

Dear Sirs:
Are you aware that the WAO has not submitted its
operations report for the month of July 2012?
In light of all the unusual withdrawls and expenditures made over the
last several months by the WAO, I would hope your Office is keeping close tabs
on how the WAO's donated funds were 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 by the WAO?
Please let me know if the WAO is still required to
file with the Western District Bankruptcy Court monthly business operations
reports or if the court lifted this requirement and your Office is no longer
interested as to how donor contributions are spent by the WAO's board of
director.
Thank you.
Regards,
Kristina Brunner
Something tells me that there will be NO response from the OAG. It is my opinion that they no longer care if the Cryers are stealing money from the WAO's financial accounts. It makes me wonder how much money the Cryers stole from the recycling WAO metal or plastic, misappropriation of funds and improper use or acquisition of WAO supplies and equipment... If they steal enough, they may decided to open up their own so-called "sanctuary" in the future! Oh geez, now wouldn't that be wonderful?
Later: Surprised! A response!
