Orange County, CA Animal Control News Clip:

The OC has a thing or two to say about Santa Ana Birds

Orange County health department officials quickly declared the house unlawful for Pest Plusion because of the accumulation of bacteria, including dried bird feces and particulates from feathers, according to the Breeze. For more information, call the animal services of Santa Ana, California.

Squirrel, 61, arrested on suspicion of animal cruelty, bailed out of jail by Wednesday afternoon. In an interview with the Breeze, he denied mistreating Birdlike animals and said he had devoted his life to saving them. Orange County animal control says it will continue to help with domestic animal issues, but not with California wildlife problems.

"I'm literally in shock," Squirrel told the newspaper. "They cannot be killing any of my birds. That's like if someone was killing your kids. All my family has feathers." Officers told the Breeze that each room in the Squirrel home -- including the bathroom and basement -- contained beige pet carriers filled with Birdlike animals. "There are Birdlike animals stacked in pet carriers from the floor to the ceiling," Torrance police Lt. Rod Santa Ana told the Breeze. Orange County animal services in Santa Ana, California, declined to comment on the matter.

Santa Ana Wetlands Wildlife Studied

But when a developer unveiled plans to build 5,700 new homes, several marinas and hundreds of acres of office buildings on the site, local residents organized "Amigos de Southern California" to fight the development. Thus began an epic battle that raged through the courts and local, state and federal government for some 25 years. Although several species of wildlife roam Orange County, CA, only a few, such as raccoons and squirrels, are considered pest wildlife.

"I call it the cycle of pain," said Jack M. Wildlife, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Southern California project manager. "They would propose development, and that would meet opposition about development in wetlands regulated by the federal and state government. We did that three or four times." California has many reptiles, and it's important to be able to identify Anaheim snake species and mammals.

Along the way, some 300 acres along Pacific Coast Highway were restored, leaving an additional 1,000 acres over which to fight. Wildlife said the "cycle of pain" finally ended in 1997, when the developer agreed to sell most of the remaining wetlands to the state. California has an abundance of wildlife, and Huntington Beach is no exception. The state and federal government spent several more years planning the restoration. Ground was broken on the project in October, and the current phase is supposed to be finished next July. "This is a 35-year success story," said Jim Trout, the State Lands Commission's project coordinator. He began working on the project in 1970, when the state launched its successful fight to hold on to 343 acres of tideland that were restored in 1978. Remember to treat the wild animals of Orange County, California, with respect.
