Update: Victory! Nevada County Smacks Down Chimpanzee Abuser Again

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Update: This past Wednesday, September 11, the Pahrump Regional Planning Commission (RPC) rightfully denied an application by Andrew Sawyer for a permit to keep two chimpanzees on a property in Pahrump. Sawyer recently allowed infamous animal abuser Mike Casey to keep a chimpanzee named Joey in Clark and Nye counties without the requisite permits. Sawyer was also a co-applicant on Casey’s recent permit application to keep dangerous animals in Nye County, which was denied by the RPC in June.

It hasn’t been the best summer for notorious chimpanzee exhibitor and abuser James “Mike” Casey. First, PETA helped get him barred from a Nevada county by providing authorities with information about his

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) nabbed Casey on charges of possessing chimpanzees without a permit, not carrying the required insurance, and unlawful and improper transport of wildlife. PETA is also asking the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to investigate his intended sale of the animals, because it, too, appears to be unlawful since he did not possess the requisite Animal Welfare Act (AWA) license.

Florida authorities have transferred the animals to the so-called “Suncoast Primate Sanctuary“ in Palm Harbor, Florida. While certainly better than being in Casey’s charge, where, according to eyewitness testimony and USDA records, they had been punched, kicked, beaten, and scalded with boiling water, Suncoast isn’t the ideal place for these chimpanzees, as the facility is staffed entirely by unpaid volunteers and has a history of AWA violations andchimpanzee escapes.

PETA has written to the FWC thanking it for arresting Casey and seizing the chimpanzees and asking it to retire the animals to the permanent home that we have arranged for them at a true sanctuary.
