Terry Cullen raided

[wolfy-hound]

There's a guy who had the HSUS come in and confiscate his 172(I think) dogs, even though the HSUS rep said on record the dogs didn't look bad, and the official inspector had been there TWO DAYS before and said everything was fine. The judge has since ruled that the dogs were taken illegally, but something like 34 dogs have died while in the care of a rescue(of PARVO!!!! What rescue doesn't take precautions against parvo??).

So it does indeed happen. Especially when any AR groups get involved, either in presenting evidence or making accusations to actually showing up and taking animals illegally.

If you watch the video where they're removing the animals, notice that the buildings are attached. There is a building on either side of Terry's "warehouse".

If there were mice running loose and the stench of ammonia and feces was so great, then why didn't ANY of those neighbors complain of 1) finding white/spotted, etc. mice running loose, and 2) of the smell. They even interview the alderman who says he was just in one of the adjoining buildings recently and didn't know the animals were there. That tells me the smell couldn't have been anywhere near what they're reporting.

You know this whole "raid" sounds like a bunch of crap in my opinion.No judge is going to sign a warrant to raid someones storage building looking for a sexual assualt suspect.They have noted several times Terry is well known and has assisted them numerous times.So why are they taking his reptiles? I am sure he has EVERY permit needed.I think everyone needs to back off and wait until we hear from Terry

Well the warrant was for the home and personal property. That also granted them the right into the "warehouse".

This isn't looking so good.. They are rubbing it in real good..

"Police raided what is believed to be 60-year-old Terry Cullen's residence on Monday and emerged carrying a frozen alligator.

They also found a dead snake carcass, but no live animals.

Neighbor Jim Sinicki watched police search the home and took pictures.

"There's no telling what he had in there before the police came by," Sinicki said. "I just want to know some answers, like why is he doing this."

Meanwhile, a warehouse used by Cullen is now boarded up and condemned by the city.

Last week authorities removed some 250 exotic animals from the property and another 60 creatures from his girlfriend's home.

Five giant anacondas were among the animals seized.

Alderman Jim Witkowiak, who represents the near south side, is calling for Cullen to come forward.

"A lot of the reptiles in here were basically neglected," Witkowiak said. "I just wish he would come forth and cooperate with the police."

On a YouTube video, Cullen urges people to call him with donations for his reptile rescue fund.

He answered that phone last week and told police he was in Connecticut, but has yet to turn himself in.

An attorney who has represented Cullen said he had "no comment" when reached by a reporter Monday.

Police began looking at the addresses as part of a sexual assault complaint, but have not named the target of that investigation.

I'm willing to bet a judge will sign a warrant to go anywhere that a sexual assault suspect is believed to be, including a warehouse.

Being well known, even highly regarded and respected doesn't somehow give anyone a free pass to break the law. I don't care if he fed 100 homeless children a night he's still accountable for whatever his actions might be.

If he had every permit needed part of the charges wouldn't be that he has animals he doesn't have permits to keep.

They are taking his reptiles because they were neglected, and he didn't have permits for a number of them. Nothing more, nothing less.

We'd all love to hear from Terry Cullen. Funny thing is he's not shown his face. And by now he has no excuse and no one can say "Maybe he doesn't know about it"

Lil Update in the case, Cullen Finally in Wisconsin

Here's the entire statement from Terry Cullen:"I have been trying to deal with this Machiavellian nightmare while out of town and gravely ill. Far from "being on the run" I have been back in town with my attorneys for the past two days engaged in the appropriate, necessary legal formalities. I am overwhelmingly concerned for the well being of our animals; the terrible stresses that they have been subjected to and their transport to utterly unfamiliar surroundings. My heart truly breaks at the very thought of the loss of my best friends and loyal companions, Pogo and Kong, our two dogs. You have no concept of our pain at their loss. While the much of the media has vilified and excoriated me with inaccuracies, half-truths and shameful sensationalism, the truth lies far, far from their irresponsible, knee-jerk rantings. Jane and I have devoted our all to conservation. Our shattered lives and reputations have been our reward." Terry Cullen

I must have missed it. It sounds as if you are stating a well known and verified fact.

Could you show me this verification you seem so confident in?

Thank you.
