\nCarolina, that exhibits exotic animals in cramped, barren
\nenclosures\u2014has been cited numerous times by the U.S. Department
\nof Agriculture for violating the Animal Welfare Act. The North
\nCarolina Wildlife Resources Commission has also denied Jambbas
\nowner James Bass state wildlife permits because of his failure
\nto provide animals with enclosures that meet even minimum
\nstandards. Ben, a bear kept at Jambbas, has been confined for
\nyears to a tiny cell made of concrete and chain link. He has no
\nenrichment and paces constantly, a sign of stress and
\nfrustration.<\/strong><\/div>\n

\nseveral Cumberland County representatives\u2014including the county’s
\nanimal services department, the county attorney’s office, the
\nsheriff’s office, and more\u2014requesting the enforcement of a
\ncounty law that prohibits holding bears and other exotic animals
\ncaptive, but no steps have been taken to help these animals.
\nBecause of the county’s refusal and failure to uphold its own
\nlaw, a concerned citizen and PETA member swore out a criminal
\ncomplaint in January about Bass’ unlawful possession of numerous
\nexotic animals, including Ben the bear, a fox, a raccoon, and an
\nalligator. These animals have been deprived of everything that
\nis natural and important to them and are on display in
\nsubstandard, miserable conditions. To see photos of Ben and
\nother animals illegally held at Jambbas, click here. <\/strong><\/div>\n
\nanimals at wonderful sanctuaries, but the county has repeatedly
\nexpressed an unwillingness to move forward with this case. In
\nfact, PETA learned that rather than enforcing the law, county
\nofficials recently changed the ordinance which could result in
\ncharges against Bass being dismissed, leaving Ben and the other
\nanimals to continue to suffer terribly and ultimately die alone
\nin their small, barren pens. <\/strong><\/div>\n
\nCounty District Attorney William West. A court date has been set
\nfor April 11. Your voice is needed to help ensure that these
\nanimals are not doomed to a lifetime of misery. <\/strong><\/div>\n
