Dear Sirs:

Please accept this letter as an addendum to the original complaint letter previously submitted to your Office. The information contained herein pertains to my original complaint regarding alleged misrepresentation, misappropriation of funds, and alleged violations of the Animal Welfare Act perpetrated by the non-profit 501 (c) (3) tax exempt organization's owners/operators and Board of Directors of the Animal Sanctuary of the United States, d/b/a Wild Animal Orphanage (WAO); f/k/a the Primate Sanctuary of the U.S. (PSUS), f/k/a the National Sanctuary for Retired Research Primates (NSRRP), f/k/a The San Antonio Wildlife Emergency Centre, f/k/a Primate Sanctuary of America ( PSA ); f/k/a Chimp Aid; f/k/a Cat Haven; and f/k/a Feral Cat Rehabilitation Center and Whisker's and Wag's Humane Society.

For many months now I have elevated my concerns regarding the exorbitant amount of money spent on fuel for the WAO's truck(s) to your Office and to the Texas Western District Bankruptcy Court (by way of your Office), in the hopes that this Office would take action to protect WAO public charitable donations from illegal use by individuals in charge of the WAO assets.

The June 2012 WAO Small Business Monthly Operating Report, once again, shows an excessive of money spent on vehicle fuel--$1,124.15.  One of the gas purchases was made from a “Stripes” gas station in Corpus Christi, Texas, which is about 147 miles away from the Talley Road property. Pray tell—what was the purpose of this Saturday trip to Corpus?  Another vacation paid for by WAO donations?

The June 2012 operating report also contained a notice from the IRS.  The statement claimed that the amount credited to the WAO's account as Total Federal Tax Deposits differed from the amount reported on its tax return for the tax period of June 30, 2009. I’m shocked!  The IRS didn’t not accept the fictional 2009 tax return as submitted by Michelle Cryer, as true and correct? The 2009 and 2010 990s (tax returns) were fraught with so many errors, I was surprised your Office did not protest the the returns.  So now, the WAO owes $37,216.81 for:

Unpaid balance                                        $24,105.21
Penalty on unpaid amount                         $9,762.61
Interest on unpaid amount                        $3,348.99    

If you examine the returns, you'll notice that Michelle Cryer purposely failed to include the Asvestas’ salary earned while at the WAO for the years 2009 and 2010 in its returns.  There are several significant errors in the 2009 and 2010 tax returns, but since the 2005, 2006, and 2007 tax returns were never corrected by the WAO and submitted to the IRS, I supposed it’s useless to highlight all the errors found in these reports to you today.

Warm Regards,

Kristina Brunner

Okemo is Losing His Battle with Cancer

For some time now, I've been aware of how sick Okemo, former WAO tigers is, and sadly his condition has not improved.  In fact, his condition has gotten much worse.  In-Sync Exotics  made the tough decision today to put to sleep sometime soon because he will never recover--only get much worse.  When I saw him last in June 2012, he looked so tired.  So sad.  I know he was holding on this long for Vicky's sake.  He really developed a special bond with her.  

I know she doesn't want to put him to sleep, but there comes a time when an animal no longer loves life and just hold on to us, simply because we can't let them go.  It is time to let Okemo go.  Breaks my heart to write this because it's not fair.  While Okemo is dying from cancer, the Asvestas, Cryers, Reiningers, and the rest of the WAO cast of characters are living their lives la vida loca, without a care in the world.  

Today, I am angry because the USDA refused to do their job.  I am angry because the Texas OAG refused to do its job.  And now, another WAO animal is dying because no one gave a damn to make sure the WAO received the best care, best food, best vet care etc for over 20 years.  All those people who donated money to the WAO were scammed out of their hard earned dollars and no one in the Texas government ever gave a damn. 

I don't know if I will ever find peace with this stupid case.  Stupid because it makes total sense to prosecute the WAO criminals and yet the stupid government felt it best to allow the criminals to continue their "business as usual" until the organization finally collapsed with a trail of animal bodies left behind.  Just stupid.

Here are a few pictures of Okemo I took at the Birthday Bash:












I didn't know Okemo very well, and yet my heart is broken over this news. It's just not fair!

I received word that Okemo will be crossing the rainbow bridge on Friday.  It's just not right, while the Asvestas', Cryers', and Reiningers get to live out their lives in relative peace, Okemo's life will end this Friday.
