Partner and owner of the Mazor farm, executive director of the farm, a veterinarian by profession, is the spokesman and official representative on its behalf and as such is responsible for its omissions. . **************************** 1 . Mr. Bushmitz was severely criticized in the past for working simultaneously in two positions that meet inherent conflict of interest. 2 . One of the criticisms against Mr. Bushmitz was when he worked simultaneously, as the municipal veterinarian of Hod Hasharon city and the owner and manager of the Mazor Farm, who deals in monkeys for financial gain. 3 . Also argued against Bushmitz in the past, that It is inconceivable that as a Supervisor of the Animal Welfare Act he will hold simultaneously a private business for-profit, a business that sales monkeys ( defined in his own words : export industry , agricultural crop , Produce , goods) to laboratories that conducted cruel experiments, since there is no dispute being, essentially, animal abuse. . 4. Even worse, over the years there is an inherent conflict of interest between Mr. Bushmitz and the executives and seniors that are professionally responsible for supervising the farm and for its trade permits. 5 . It was also noted and was reflected in a judgment issued by the court in 2006, where an activist that spoke out against Bushmitz and was sued by him, was acquitted fully. 6 . The judges ratio was also quotes from published investigative articles on the subject, that talked about the familiarity of Bushmitz, as the municipal veterinarian, with officials of the veterinary services and the INPA, noting that his familiarity conduct made it very hard for the inspection authorities to supervise him and the farm. 7 . An example of a serious conflict of interest between Bushmitz and supervisory authorities of the farm, who are responsible for the Mazor farms trade permits: Professor Joseph Terkel, a zoologist at Tel Aviv University, a member of the governments monitoring committee mandated to oversee the farm, testified in favor of the farm in court: If I was a monkey I would not mind being in the Mazor farm. About the separation of infants from their mothers: there is no cruelty here, its like taking the pigeons out of the nest. It turned out that the Tel Aviv University has purchased monkeys from the Mazor farm by an order from Terkel. So it appears, that Terkel , the professional witness is not only the supervisor of Bushmitz , but also his client. 8 . Another embarrassing testimony provided Dr. Giora Havida, representative of the Veterinary Services in the Ministry of Agriculture and Chairman of the state governments Monitoring Committee, who praised the great shape of the monkeys in the farm and the excellent staff. However, during his testimony, it became clear that he had no basic idea about the population of monkeys of the Mazor farm and that the answers provided by him in court for professional questions were bizarre and misleading. Reference to sections 7,8 can be found in an article in Maariv - Monkey Trial 03/09/2007 - by Moshe Gorali, following the judgment given by Judge Nitza Maimon Shaashua. nrg.co.il/online/1/ART1/553/356.html 9 . In an investigative article in the past (Ron Leshem, Monkey Business, 1999, Yediot Aharonot), Hagay Ilan, the direct supervisor of the farm, on the behalf of the Israel Nature and Parks Authority, admitted that the inspectors do not count the amount of monkeys running around in the Mazor farm and the quantity of the monkeys in the shipments. He was quoted: Look, animals are something that moves. I cannot count there. Bushmitz response: In any case they will give me permits for any number that I might ask. When I apply for eighty, I get eighty. If I want a hundred, I get a hundred. Then why do they have to monitor and count? 10 . According to two lawsuits filed on behalf of Mr. Bushmitz against animal rights activists, argued by his counsel, attorney Robert Fishman, that there was damage to the reputation of Mr. Boshmitz , in part due to being a member of the government appointments committee. 11 . Thus, even in this context there is a conflict of interest between the involvement of Bushmitz as a member of the Appointments Committees (past or present) that could affect the future and professional fate of functionaries, including the Ministry of Environmental Protection, and being a shareholder and director of a private business, that its future and its businesses are discussed and monitored by their responsibility. 12 . It should be noted that immediately after the announcement of early elections in Israel (October 2012) Gilad Arden acted to compartmentalize the Monkey Struggle In Israel in the hearing, while withholding relevant information and mutual discloser of documents, which adversely and directly affected the ability of The Struggle to represent the monkeys in the hearing process. It is possible that due process and hearing all the parties mutually could have a significant impact on the results of the procedure. 13 . With direct continuation to the information provided in Section 9, there is serious concern to the fate of about 350 monkeys that disappeared from the Mazor farms reports recently without explanation or proof for of the reason for their disappearance. 14 . According to official reports in July the quantity of the monkeys in the farm was approximately 2200 and in the October Report about 1850. Still no clarifying explanation was provided for the disturbing gap in the amount of the monkeys. 15 . Informal authority reported that the cause of the gap is a large mortality in a short period of time. This response is unacceptable for the Monkeys Struggle team and we are currently working to inspect this issue. 16 . Bushmitz is known as serial plaintiff against activists for animal rights. . Claim threats and actual claims to silence legitimate voices of protest against his doings and against the existence of the Mazor farm, are the actions that he is known by. ****************************** The omissions of the Mazor farm under Moshe Bushmitzs responsibility and management will be raised in post 2.
