I tried to find any info on Fauna as to where in CA he lives, but unfortunately can't find a thing. I'd really love to shoot animal control in his area that link.

I'm done with this guy. This has been going on for months with this guy. He doesn't care and never will.

Myspace is a wonderful thing....I'm pretty sure this is the guy. It's amazing what an email address can do. So now, does he live in Sherman Oaks..or Irvine? His IP also pulled the city name aliso viejo.

Aliso Viejo is right across the freeway from Irvine.

Subject: reporting animal cruelty


Hello,

Please take a look at this thread on a popular forum and let me know if this constitutes animal cruelty... and if so, how do I go about reporting it?

Thank you very much,

This was their response:

Dear Marcia,


What a sad story.


We unfortunately do not have the resources to track down Internet addresses. You do say in the forum that you found out Xelas is from Irvine. How were you able to do that? Irvine Animal Shelter may have a connection to the police department who would have jurisdiction over this case and they may be able to track this person down. Please see http://www.cityofirvine.org/depts/cs/animalcare/default.asp

You did an excellent job of citing the California Humane Laws to this person. It is unfortunate he didn’t ‘get it’. We are so sad the gecko died.


Sincerely,

Donna Calkin

OCSPCA President



Orange County Humane Law:

Inhumane treatment of animals
“Every person who maliciously and intentionally maims, mutilates, tortures, or wounds a living animal, or maliciously and intentionally kills an animal, is guilty of an offense punishable by imprisonment in the state prison, by a fine, or potentially by both. Every person who overloads, overworks, torments, deprives of necessary sustenance, drink, or shelter, cruelly beats or subjects any animal to needless suffering is guilty of a crime punishable as a felony†(CPC 597). If you observe someone abusing an animal, or suspect an animal of being abused, immediately contact Animal Care Services and an Animal Control Officer will respond. All ‘founded’ cruelty investigations are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

I'm going to guess that he actually lives in Sherman Oaks. He told me he lives in SoCal sort of near LA, but that Newport was sort of far from him. Newport and Irvine and not really far apart.

 

[Val]

Marcia, I have already sent a letter to the Irvine Animal Shelter but I haven't received a response.

 

[BalloonzForU]

Keep us updated!!!!

 

[Golden Gate Geckos]

Well, if he lives in Sherman Oaks, it's in Los Angleles County... not Orange County. Here is a link to their website. They have a form to fill out to report animal cruelty. I wish we knew where this guy lives. http://spcala.com/crueltytipline.shtml

 

[Val]

I sent the letter to Irvine before all of this came out, but I'm hoping that they can just contact his ISP and figure out who this idiot is and where exactly he lives.

 

[Golden Gate Geckos]

... that would be great, Val. I hope they can do something to help us.
