False and Malicious Accusations Against Bat World Sanctuary

Distasteful as we find this, we felt it necessary to create this page to counteract the defamation and harm Mary Cummins, of Animal Advocates, has been causing to our organization for almost three years.

Ms,. Cummins has been using the internet to harass and defame Amanda Lollar and Bat World Sanctuary by creating Google Bombs. She also made false complaints to numerous animal rescue and wildlife groups, her Facebook pages, Youtube, Myspace, Twitter, Flickr, etc., as well as Texas Parks and Wildlife, the USDA, the Texas Veterinary Medical Board, the Texas Department of Health, USFWS, the Mineral Wells Department of Health, the City Manager, the Fire Marshal, Code Enforcement, the Chief of Police, the Texas Attorney General, the DEA, the Texas Veterinary Board and the IRS. Every official who has investigated her complaints have found them to be without merit.  

I have visited Bat World Sanctuary multiple times over the past three years. The facility has always been clean and well organized. I have never encountered a strong ammonia smell which is very common in many bat enclosures. The resident bats have always appeared healthy. The rehab bats and babies are housed in a separate quarantine area and this area has always been clean and the bats appeared to be receiving more than adequate care. I spoke with the local Texas Parks and Wildlife Law Enforcement Agent in the area. He concurred with my assessment. The place is clean and well organized and the bats look happy and healthy. There is absolutely no evidence confirming any of the accusations made by the complainant. On the contrary, Ms. Lollar appears to be providing exceptional care as required under the Animal Welfare Act.”  

We sued Mary Cummins and  WON A JUDGEMENT OF 6.1 MILLION for her “Egregious as well as malicious as well as intentional” defamation.

We were extremely fortunate to be represented pro-bono by one of the best animal rights attorney in the country, Randy Turner. Unfortunately, Randy Turner has also become a victim in the process of defending us, and malicious defamation is now appearing about him all over the Internet.

Mary Cummins continues to create websites post false and malicious defamation about Amanda Lollar and Bat World Sanctuary to this day because laws are not yet in place that could protect victims from constant attacks by cyber-stalkers.
