Ty's public post on fb

He twists the truth. He would not tell me what he was going to ship. And I have not called the bbb yet

here are the comments

I didn't want to go public with this because I didn't want to create more drama than it already is but after countless, unfounded attack on my character---especially on Faunaclassified, I feel that people need to hear my side:

I donated 3 albino tegus for a raffle to raise fund for iguana conservation and we raised $9000 ($3000 went to Turtle Survival Alliance) with the raffle. One of the winner, Michelle Cutler, wanted cash instead of the tegu she won as she erroneously understood that I didn't produce any albino tegu this year but I clearly did. After asking her for address to ship the tegu to her TWICE, and not getting address from her to ship the tegu---and after she filed a small claims lawsuit in MA, I decided to auction off the albino tegu to raise more funds for conservation and raised another $5000 with the effort. She has complained to BBB, state attorneys office and state agriculture and has done everything possible to smear my name. My stand is clear: I gave her chance to claim her prize twice and she refused to send me her address so that I can ship her the tegu. The suit is still pending in small claims court so to me, this matter should be settled in court and her and other followed of her claims of being wronged by me is just a ploy to "blackmail" me.

She and her followers are also trying to blackmail IRCF, an honorable charitable organization I support.

I ask that everyone stay civil with comments here and I will not state any more, other than what I have already stated here. I will not argue with anyone here on her claimed wrong or my defense. I reserve the right to delete and block anyone who starts drama as there are enough on Fauna post.

Thanks for your understanding and support.

Tim Coble All the good that you do, and there are still people in the world who want to act like this. Just terrible.
I hope that you get everything settled soon. This has been being dragged out for far to long.

Ian Schneider If i remember this raffle right ( i definitely bought a ticket or two ). Everything was stated clearly. And when winners were announced they were given instruction. Cash was not an option.

If there's anything I can do to show support for you (write a letter of character reference, show up in court for you in MA, anything), please let me know. Sadly, there are people out there looking to make a buck any way they can. Your integrity, your reputation will prevail!! Better days ahead!!

Sherry Cody Ty Park, I truly believe that anyone that really knows you, knows your true character and all you do for conservation. Disregard any negativity and keep fighting this through the courts. No one is going to give any time to the crazy lady just seeking money.

It's ridiculous that you're even dealing with this and I'm sorry you are in this situation.

Amanda Rose-Rachels It's amazing that she went so far to try to get cash from you when she clearly did not pay attention to the raffle, the fact that you did produce albinos, and appears to have only wanted the cash to begin with. She didn't pay attention and rather than owning up to it, and receiving a gorgeous tegu from you, she decides to pull this. I don't see any wrong doing on your part Ty. Hearing she is trying to also slander IRCF is equally enraging. Hugs and hang in there!

Mike Matson Fauna bio is a garbage dump Ty Park. A place for a few individuals with nothing better to do than sit and talk about other individuals 24/7 with the full fledge intent to take down their business.

As long as they have material to feed off of they will continuously stalk you and repost.

Best thing to do is ignore them. Sit overlooking all of your animals at your farm with an ice tea in a lounge chair. Those people are miserable and bored with their lives.

Don't stress about them anymore. Fauna is the black and white television of the hobby. Facebook, Instagram and other social media are more powerful and the people will always see thru faunas crap.

Am I misunderstanding something here. If this Parks guy raised $9,000 but only gave $3,000 to TSA, isn't the other $6,000 profit for him?

It's very telling that he only makes these statements on his closed Facebook page where we aren't able to comment. Anyone who's comments are worth considering will take the time to come over here and see what he is talking about and it is clearly shown, in his own words, that his version of the "truth" is some what skewed (a nice way to say he's full of... anyways).
Don't let them get to you Michelle, and Ty don't let your fan club trick you into thinking you're in the right in this. You're not. Even your supporters on this site are saying they think you were unethical and wrong. The only argument being made is Michelle could have sucked up to you and maybe your ego wouldn't have gotten in the way of you actually adhering to your contract.

All these comments about fauna being a joke, and here they are stating it on Facebook. The irony is not lost on me. Thank you fauna peeps, thank you Rich, and thank you Michelle. Michelle, my one piece of advice to you (taking it or not is completely up to you of course) is don't even look at those comments. Giving them the ability to at all affect your day, or even get in your ear, gives them far more power than they are worth. Take a lesson from Ty and just block/ignore anyone who doesn't agree with you haha

Ive messaged a few of the people that have commented and they support me. Lol they can't say it there thought because they will be. Locked

In regard to the most vocal of those who had bad things to say about this site, you just have to consider the source. Mike Matson standing up in support of Ty Park is just comical. Even the shady people love the BOI; that is, until they screw the pooch and have their asses handed to them - and there's more than enough material on the BOI to show that Matson's long been shady as all hell.

Also not surprising to see Manny Frade among Ty's advocates. Considering his own scams and various other messes that still need to be cleaned up, Frade's probably the last person I'd want backing me. Before this thread, I never would have thought Ty Park was anything like them, but they're looking more and more like birds of a feather. I'm sure he's happy to have them there in his bubble, stroking his ego, but their names are a couple of mental associations that I absolutely wouldn't want my own name to evoke.

As the vast majority seem to be basing their stances on how they chose to perceive Ty before this thread came about - factual details specific to this situation be damned - they're simply not worth the effort it requires to read their nonsense. It seems noteworthy that so very few have even bothered to put in a token appearance here to defend someone whose actions they want to believe are fully justified. It's really easy to just throw claims around; apparently not so simple to come back them up with reasoned arguments, eh, guys?

If that's true, I'd put up screenshots of their support. It's one thing to publicly state something one actually believes; but someone publicly condemning you, while privately agreeing with you, is just really sleazy. I think that kind of duplicity should be put in the spotlight.

I kind of agree. It there are many many people that are afraid to stand up to him.
It's sad but true

ME.,,,
Ty should unblock me So his post isn't a one sided story
He refused to tell me what he was going to ship and even admitted that when he decided to send me a t+ he did not communicate that to me because he wanted to see how greedy I was.

I want the tegu not the money. But he refused to give me the tegu

He still has some and could easily end this but shipping me one

well , I gave it a shot to, messaged that post of his, keep it up Michelle, my post will surely be deleted in 5-4-3-2 but if even of few of his supporters see it and read the BOI and see the truth, then at least some good may come out of it..

best of luck
