Humane Long Island protested outside Tuesday night’s Islip Town Board meeting calling for immediate change.
Town Board meeting calling for immediate change. This comes after the nonprofit filed a motion to intervene in Suffolk Supreme Court arguing Larry Wallach, owner of Sloth Encounters in Hauppauge, is failing to comply with court orders to close.
"I think it’s atrocious," said John Di Leonardo who is the executive director of Humane Long Island. "This is just one more reason Islip needs to shut them down and stop dragging their feet at sloth's pace. This is a bad guy who doesn’t care about the law, your children, or your safety." In the motion filed, undercover investigators were told to park off the property and enter Sloth Encounters through the back door to visit the animals.
Now Humane Long Island claims Wallach is taking them on the road to unlicensed pot parties where sloths allegedly "got high." "These parties were in Islip Township where he’s been ordered by the Supreme Court three times to shut down."over the phone says he’s allowed to travel with the animals and was misled about the party adding when he realized what was going on, he left in a matter of minutes. As for his business, Wallach claims to be in complete compliance and says he’s waiting for a permit to reopen his store.
