Lt. Quigley Denies Releases

Today 5 people arrived at LBAC with proper paperwork from Jim Blancarte, Noah's Ark's animal's Attorney with power of attorney for release of "property", to release the animals named to them. Lt Quigley denied them the animals. We believe this is in clear violation of the Hayden Law.

We continue to await the document that provides assurance made by Councilman DeLong and Mayor Foster at the Tuesday's City Council meeting. They have also agreed to provide us with a full "inventory" or our "property." The councilman's staff was unable to get the necessary documents from City Attorney Shannon's office and from Animal Control. If you have a moment, please contact Mayor Foster's office at Tel: (562) 570-6801 Fax: (562) 570-6538 or e-mail: mayor@longbeach.gov and ask him to put pressure on the City Attorney and Animal Control to have an ironclad document of protection for the animals being held in the seizure and raid at Noah's Ark by Thursday.
