36. After DNAinfo posted on Internet ?rst and somewhat nice story about Gowanus
Rabbits on Dec 30, 2014, ASPCA MALICIOUSLY started with its harassment and
unlawful, unconstitutional invasion into plaintif'f?s life, person, borne, property and
effects, starting Jan 3, 2015.
Allison and other persons from ASPCA called plaintiff and building?
owner few times a day demanding that ASPCA enter inside the
property and inspect rahhi'ts. Persons from ASPCA used word ?help?
in its conversation. However, no actual help was ever offered by ASPCA
to plaintiff regarding her herds efrahhits. Number of times, for
example, on lan 14, ASPCA maliciously ?occupied? outside rabbit garden
at 466 3?rd Avenue for prolonged period of time [each time two hours at
least], at such time calling and demanding from plaintiff that she leaves
her work and came "because ASPCA would like to meet her?. Presence
of ASPCA with its cars standing in front of the property full of jumping
rabbits, clearly suggested to everyone passing ?animal cruelty?.
37. Number of times {for example on Jan 14, 2015) ASPCA trespass and criminally
trespassed into backyard and side alley where rabbits are kept 'ASPCA trespassed through the back door of the the
shop, and as a result, this emergency door had to be locked from outside to prevent
further trespassing.
38. On 5 an 26, 2015 ASPCA together with Captain Digiacomo and number of policemen
from 78 Precinct viciously and violently out two locks on the front gate and criminally
trespassed, STEALING RABBITS.
ASPCA committed animal cruelty that day by running like crazy
with 20 big policemen on the snow after over- 100 free-range rabbits,
stepping on rabbits, injuring rabbits and giving them heart attacks. Then,
ASPCA clearly was hot coheertted' when ?it? rabbits were thrown into small
var: iota 5,6 mediates dog cages and when rabbits? bodies were
thrown one on top of another, when rabbits could not move and they were
. getting heart attacks. More facts, issues is described in Part of Complaint.
39. it is clear that ASPCA MAUCIOUSLY participated in this needless
masquerade and Witch hunt against plaintiff, as further
described Within this complaint. ASPCA with its president Matthew
Bershadker are fully responsible for relevant events that followed as a
result of ASPCA unlawful and unconstitutional intervention into
plaintiff?s life, person, home, property and effects, and are liable for all
causes of actions are stated). For example, ASPCA .. .. . .. .. ..
NYPD that plaintiff is neglects her rabbits and that she commits with these
rabbits animal cruelty.
ASPCA, offering to the authorities that it would take rabbits raider their
camel, ed YD .. .. ..
40. ASPCA need the authority and power of its name Without
thinking ?rst, not examining situation with rabbits, not getting any facts and -
Without first investigating. ASPCA Was not acting in good faith.

high gate. This gate is double locked and two locks are very visible. There is big sign
