"Mark Bass is the PETA “agent” who signed the affidavit supporting the warrant for this seizure. He says he has worked there for 7 months. Yet he and Arlington Animal Control chose to do this seizure 9 days before Christmas. Was there no abuse for 6 months or did they carefully choose the time knowing that the hearing had to be within 10 days and the courts have vacation schedules? I suspect there was little or no abuse of these animals at all except what may have been done to them by Mr. Bass. I think they most definitely chose their timing carefully and without regard to the fact that these animals would be subjected to low temperatures for extended times. I think they are on a crusade and have no care whatsoever for the animals which are just a tool in their crusade.



And who is Jay Sabatucci, the face of Arlington Animal Control in this seizure (and likely in future animal seizures)? Jay graduated from the University of Texas at in 1979 and has a teaching certificate (no idea what his degree is in). “He has been in the animal welfare industry since 1984”. He worked for HSUS from 2002 to mid 2009 but I’ve been unable to determine what he was doing between 1984 and 2002. It certainly appears to me that he is in animal rights rather than animal welfare and there IS a difference, a BIG difference."
