Approximately one and half years ago, I applied to the NJ F&W for a scientific holding permit for two raccoons and two squirrels. The permit was denied by Ms. Wells with no explanation. I was upset, so I called Mr. Steve Toth to try to get an answer and an explanation. Mr. Toth told me that he would be willing to consider giving me the scientific permit if I voluntarily turned in my rehabbers license for good. I was on my lunch hour and had to cut the conversation short and never called back as I was flabbergasted at this bizarre offer. This was precluded by the fact Ms. Wells attitude toward me changed when she stated upon her visit to my home that I had the potential for quite a facility with all the land I have. At that point I stated to her that I had no intentions of becoming a facility and that I rehabbed for the love of the animals to do my part. It was then that Ms. Wells attitude toward me changed to one of scorn. From this point on my relationship with NJF&W has been a nightmare. They dragged me into court. They made me out to be a liar and a buffoon. This is my payback for 15 years of service. I am shocked and appalled that government officials would testify under oath the lies that these people have told.
