    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

www.thoseanimalguys.com Warning!!!!

There was a break in at a pet store in my area last year....they took a few birds and the WHOLE safe....any chance of anyone having pics of any of the birds found at the site??
 
Those animal jerks

All of the recovered birds have been returned to their rightful owners. Once caught, these jerks confessed to everything so we know where all the birds came from. I shipped some 4 of the toucans back to Florida and a few other birds to South Carolina. There were also 2 pet shops here in Michigan that got some of their birds back.

Hi all. My name is Mark Rosenthal and I'm the one who caught these losers after they stole from our sanctucary twice. I accompanied the police with the search warrents and the conditions in their house and apartment were deplorable. The mammals all had fleas, a coatimundi had to have her tail amputated due to broken bones, my Bennett's wallaby (who I bottle fed and was a part of our family) ended up dying, etc. I testified at Julie's sentencing and, from what I understand, Adam and Josh will both receive the same sentences. It's pretty sad that they are all pretty much just getting slaps on the wrists. My family will never be the same due to these creeps. We operate a non-profit exotic animal rescue/educational facility and we were almost put out of business because of these four (Josh's girlfriend was a part of this also, but she got a good lawyer and nothing has happened to her yet). Feel free to check out our web site at www.iwantanimalmagic.com to see what we do. Also, feel free to contact me with any questions at [email protected]

Mark, it is a shame that they didn't get more time out of your case. Do you know if they are still being charged in the other counties? In the beginning it sounded like they were set on extraditing them for the toucans too.

God I hope so. Otherwise break ins like this will gain in frequency. I'm glad I have both firearms and big dogs.
 
no title

I know two of the criminals, one is my cousin, and the woman is my cousin by marriage. They are not losers.... This is their very first time ever being convicted. Adam is a great guy who loves animals and would never mean to kill them! and Julie. She is so sweet. you shouldn't ever talk about someone because they did something wrong. So they did something horrible. BIG DEAL WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES.
 
I know two of the criminals. One is my cousin, and the woman is my cousin's wife. I grew up with Adam and he is an amazing young man. He would never harm an animal, he loves animals. Julie.She is a very sweet and caring young woman. so they did something horrible. BIG DEAL!!! we all make mistakes, no one is perfect.
 
ok first off Adam isn't a "sawed off loser." he is an amazing young man who loved animals. He would never mean to kill an animal. It was a mistake...GEEZ no one is perfect. EVERYBODY MAKES a MISTAKE.

After all, who among can say that we haven't committed multiple felony burglaries? "He was a good boy! He didn't mean to do it! The man is just trying to keep him down!"
 
to al of the readers out there just want to point out that Adam and Julie has never committed a crime in their lives *except for this one*
 
These are multiple crimes- several burglaries, possession of stolen property, sale of stolen property, destruction of various people's businesses (their livelyhoods), animal cruelty, etc. You mean this is all that they got caught doing.
 
they have never been to jail in their entire lives. They are seriously great people. Nobody seems to understand. Yea I know what they did was wrong in many ways but you just have to forget and forgive.
 
well then I am sure you would be glad to hear that Julie is out and I think the other guy ( not adam ) is out on bail.
 
Go ask the owner of Stinger Exotics who lost $75,000 to forgive them. Or better yet go repay her in behalf of your cousin. It was only a minor mistake that he made. You shouldn't mind paying $75,000 to rectify this minor mistake. Then go see the other victims and repay them too. It won't be much of an inconvenience to you to fix this minor mistake.

No we do not have to forgive and forget. What they did was beyond making a poor choice. It was for the most part well planned (except that one time). If they are out it just means we need to be on the lookout for them. They had no conscience on how their actions would effect others and their lives all they cared about was making money. I highly doubt that was their first and only scam they ever played.
 
I should know because Adam is my cousin and I grew up with him ever since I was 2. no offense but you people are horrible. How can you go around and say that these people are horrible people and that they don't care about the animals. YOU DON'T KNOW THEM.
 
honestly I would go and repay all the victims..If I had 75,000 I would go in a heart beat. But I am only 19.
