OVERVIEW OF THE MASON CASE

.
Many have asked me for an overview of the Mason case. I provided such for a long time. But the inquiries keep coming. I now refer everyone to my blog which may have 80 or more entries about the Mason case.

Below are some of the key links to read.

The first several are just the initial posts about Mason and the raid and you need to start here to get a feel for the case. Later on, more and more information began to come out, such as Mason’s private vet before the raid was Cynthia Hockman, who apparently turned Mason in, because she became a Boks’ employee 2-3 weeks after the bust. Also, Ron was not provided the required post seizure hearing about the whereabouts of his cats. Later it was disclosed that the whole bust may have been related to an upcoming contract with Animal Planet to film the Animal Cruelty Task Force in action—the same ones that raided Mason, which produced the videotape we think was an audition tape. Then too, all the Mason evidence was “lost,” as the cover up began.

One of the key pieces of evidence in this case is the Video shot by City TV35 which shows the kind of person Mason is even when in handcuffs—a gentleman—vs. the uniformed “thugs” and Lt. Ortega’s and Social Worker’s psychobabble.

Same situation nightmare created by the ASPCA and US HUMANE SOCIETY to another amazing rescuer, a 82 year old woman who was set up this year by the corrupt police department and several bad comissioners in a small town who did not want to pay for an animal shelter! The raid went national because the ASPCA knew they could make $$$$$$$$$$$ on the situation because they were clearly aware she was being set up also so they went full speed ahead. Our hearts are hurting for this person and what they have done to destroy her and her rescues. A documentary was already being done by a small film group in Los Angeles, California highlighting her journey and on going fight to change things in a place where no one cares about helping animals. We assume the filmmakers will surely integrate the how she was set up and the who scam, we hope.
