More
animals are missing, more money is unaccounted
for, and State and Federal authorities continue
to probe the activities of Carol Asvestas of Animal
Sanctuary of the United States, dba The SA area
Wild Animal Orphanage (WAO).
The
latest scandal involves the radical animal group
PETA, which claimed a major victory by
"saving" six rhesus macaques sold to
New York University (NYU) for invasive brain
experiments.
Those
animals, and $40,000, were instead sent to Carol
Asvestas of the Bexar County based WAO.
WAO Monkey
Enclosure
Asvestas has been
at the center of a growing firestorm, in which
sources and others involved or aware of bad
practices at the "sanctuary" say
animals are routinely neglected, poorly fed and
generally abused.
PETA (People For
The Ethical Treatment Of Animals) used the
monkeys for publicity sake, and trumpeted the
"victory" when the animals headed to
the WAO. They NEVER followed up.
(Click
here for PETA website.)
The local and
national media simply assumed that the animal
compound was legit, and embraced Asvestas as a
saint.
Far from it.
It appears she has
been bilking concerned animal lovers across the
nation of donation money and trust and the
animals as well.
Uncounted and
unaccounted for beasts -- pigs, dogs, exotic cats
and other wildlife -- have vanished at an
alarming rate. Mass graves have been reported on
land controlled by Asvestas as well.
From PETA's own
web site:
When PETA learned
that six monkeys at New York's Lehman College
who were slated for retirement at a sanctuary
were instead sold to New York University
(NYU) for invasive brain experiments, PETA
contacted both Lehman and NYU and mobilized
its members with an online action alert.
After hearing from thousands of concerned
people, NYU announced that it was sending the
monkeys to a sanctuary. Wanda, Holly, Jada,
Sophie, Samantha, and Lilly are now living
together in a group at the sanctuary and will
soon be introduced to the other monkeys at
the facility. Kathy
Guillermo, Director Laboratory Investigations
Department
PETA was quick, when informed of
this series, to distance itself from WAO.
In a prepared statement a
spokesperson said:
PETA had nothing to
do with choosing a sanctuary for these
monkeys. Lehman sold them to NYU for use in
invasive brain experiments. Lehman had
previously promised that the monkeys would be
placed in sanctuary so PETA approached both
Lehman and NYU and asked them to abide by the
experimental protocol and retire the monkeys.
NYU chose the sanctuary without consulting
PETA. PETA did not contribute money. We
don’t know how much NYU/Lehman provided.
Then they made their email getaway.
