After taking Isaac from the zoo, Kasbar put him in a plastic drawer without ventilation and then abandoned him in front of a hotel in Newport Beach hotel with two notes that said "Lemur (with tracker)" and "This belongs to the Santa Ana Zoo it was taken last night please bring it to police."
Isaac was returned unharmed to the zoo, according to the release.
Several other animals escaped after their enclosure was opened by Kasbar but they were all recovered, the release said.
In addition to his prison sentence, Kasbar was sentenced to pay restitution of $8,486 to the zoo.

Like every story.

It needs to be put in context with the terrorist acts committed by PETA and others. Known for their ignorant, ham handed and violent behavior, in places like the UK, they have attacked people in horrible ways, like exhuming their dead family members. They also engage in arson, robbery and vandalism, and use doxxing to personally attack people they hate.
They need to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

When it comes to top-notch journalism, nothing beats CNN. Good thing their editors are fact-checking all of their stories trying to bring down the President of the United States.
I like the hotel-in-a-hotel concept. Maybe Trivago can get you an even better price with that hotel.

From what I can find Isaac is the oldest living Lemur at 33 years.
Poor old guy didn’t need this.

Silly boy. If he wants to steal vast sums without consequence, he should become a campaign fundraiser or Wall Street investment banker.
