In 1992 Animal Haven, Inc. was established as a no-kill pet rescue sactuary. In July, 2009, Bonnie Pang, owner of Animal Haven, passed away. Her husband, Norman Pang, unable to care for the animals, contacted the Oahu Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (OSPCA) for help. OSPCA then contacted the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) for additional help.
While on the property to care for the animals, HSUS asked Mr. Pang if they could photograph and videotape their actions to use as a training video. They told Mr. Pang that the video would be used for no other purpose. Unfortunately, the Hawaiian Humane Society (HHS), got involved and wants to prosecute Mr. Pang. They posted the HSUS video on their website as an example of cruelty to animals, and banned Jennifer Kishimori from ever using the HHS facilities again.
In the attached letter, Mr. Pang's attorney is questioning the practices of the Hawaiian Humane Society and HSUS. The tactics they used to sureptitiously document Mr. Pang's property, without a search warrant, is unethical and "backstabbing".
On August 23, 2009, Jennifer Kishimori, OSPCA, was a guest on The Carroll Cox Show, where she and Pam Davis, President of Animal Advocates, Inc, talked about this and other issues with the Hawaiian Humane Society.
On Sept. 12, 2009, Attorney Michael Ostendorp file a suit in the Federal Court on behalf of Mr. Pang, after attempts to speak with Inga Gibson of HSUS failed. Also, he never received a reply from President Wayne Pacelle regarding his letter and no one has contacted him from either organization to "make Pang whole again". The video and FAQS are still posted on the HHS and HSUS websites. A press conference was hold on the steps of HSUS to announce the suit:

This is a cat feeding station. It is elevated so chickens and other animals will not eat the cat food. The orange barrier and pet carriers around the stations were placed there by HSUS. |
