(303) 297-1192 la For People Ken Alvarez July 20,2001 PO Box 776 Kersey 80644 Dear Mr. Alvarez. This letter is to inform you that after preliminary review of your fe.lid facility south of Kersey that was examined by Division of Wildlife officers on Wednesday, July 11 to 2001 , that there are significant safety and escape issues with the facility, as well as possible violations of Colorado statute and Wildlife Commission Regulations. The Division of Wildlife is continuing to investigate the importation, possession and licensing of your animals. In the meantime, we are requiring that you immediately address the foll0wine safety and escape concerns within 10 days from today. I) The gates to the individual animal pens by Wildlife Commission regulation tOCCXX must be self closing, locked gates. The gates you have on most of the cages currently are simple free-swinging gates held shut with lightweight chain and snap type latches. All of the individual gates to the cages must replaced or modified within the 10 days to be self -closing (self closing means spring loaded or some mechanism to automatically close the gate and latch itself if the gate is opened and released). Additionally, they must be positively locked with (gauge?) heavy chain and padlock. The snap latches you presently have on the cages are inadequate. The Outer perimeter gate should also be brought to these same standards 2)Flooring on the individual cages is not secure or safe. Our standards require that the walls of the cages be extended three feet below the ground, or have a one foot concrete barrier buried along the edges. If the ground is not conducive to burying, then chain mesh flooring must extend out three feet from the walls. 3) the exterior perimeter fence is help up by nylon straps and stakes on the south side. One of those stakes has pulled out of the soil and resulted in a collapsing fence. Another hard windstorm could result in that fence collapsing onto the individual cages It is currently being held up by a 2x4. We require that you repair that fence D IF Lir DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES, Greg E.

Glenn Bethany salzman Cat placeny Page 1 From: "Dan England" <england@greeleytrib.com> To: <gvaad@co.weld.co.us> Date: 7/18/01 9:41AM Subject: Cat place Here's the story. It ran May 5. Dan REPORTER: Dan England CREATION DATE: 5-3-01 PUBLICATION DATE: 5-4-01 SUGGESTED HEADLINE: Big cat place may come to Kersey EDITED BY: BREAKOUT: Gatekeepers have some of its exotic cats on display at American Furniture Warehouse at 625 SW Frontage Road in Fort Collins.The cats will be on display until May 25. You can take a photo with the cats for a donation.All the money goes back to the care of the animals. The photo booth will be open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on the weekdays and from 10 to 8 p.m. on the weekends. By Dan England Greeley Tribune It wasn*t love at first purr when Vicki Guerrieri ran into Ken Alvarez and he asked if she wanted to see his tiger. *I thought he was giving me a line,*said the Kersey woman. Now Alvarez and Guerrieri are engaged as of last week, and they*re hoping Kersey, or maybe a part of rural Weld County, will accept their children. Alvarez owns more than 30 tigers, lions, leopards and other big cats that he houses in Oskalooska, Kan. The two hope to build a new Gatekeepers Wildlife Sanctuary in rural Weld. The two met in American Furniture Warehouse in Fort Collins. She was looking for furniture. He was shooting a commercial. *I found a boyfriend instead of a couch,* Guerrieri said. Alvarez has owned big cats for eight years after receiving a couple baby tigers as a gift. He now runs the non-profit facility where the cats are trained, not tame, Guerrieri said, and is currently in Louisiana on tour with 15 of the cats. Six of them are on display in American Fumiture with Guerrieri, where customers are getting their photos shot with them. The rest are back in Kansas. Nine of the cats were rescued by the facility. No one has been hurt by the cats. *The animals we use with the public have been raised by Ken from a bottle since they were bom,*she said. *It*s all they know.* Gatekeepers has a lot of work to do, however, before a facility is built. The organization will have to obtain permits from the county and even tougher permits from the Colorado Division of Wildlife. It will also need to undergo frequent inspections from the DOW and the United States Department of Agriculture. Pat Craig knows they have a long way to go. He*s the director of the Rocky Mountain Wildlife Conservation Center in Keensburg, a place that has operated for 21 years and currently has 26 big cats, bears and other Bethany salzman Cat place Page 2 animals he rescued from bad situations: One of his cats, Zeus, a lion,was found in a garage by the DOW. *It wasn*t easy 21 years ago,* Craig said. *It defintely isn*t easy now.* He said to build his 115-acre facility again would cost$750,000. He also spends$150,000 a year on their care. Craig said he doesn*t know their operation well enough to criticize it, but doesn*t agree with Gatekeepers*philosophy of supplying the cats for photo shoots and commercials. His place is closed to the public. Craig also said Alvarez tried to join forces with Gatekeepers, but that philosophical difference was too much to overcome. *He came here unannounced one day,*Craig said. *Raising baby tigers so people can take pictures with them isn*t something we want to be doing. We do disagree, but I can*t say good or bad about him.' But the new sancutary would give the cats some stability, Guerrieri said. She doesn*t want to leave Weld County because she has two daughters who attend Platte Valley High School and are involved. They also both play volleyball (her screen name on AOL is*volleymom*). Alvarez had to recently move his facility out of Sedgwick County in Kansas because neighbors nervous about the big cats there protested against him renewing his permit. Guerrieri said the cats are trained through love, affection, daily walks, good care and even belly rubs. 'We don*t sell our cats and we don*t get rid of them,* Guerrieri said. *We*d really like to get them settled down.* So Gatekeepers hopes to raise enough money to buy enough land in a rural location so there won't be problems with the neighbors. Her brother, Rod of Greeley and a developer and financial advisor, has a lot of land in a remote area near La Salle, and Gatekeepers hopes to move the cats out there until they can find some land. *We want to find a nice place where these cats can call home,*she said. Bethany salzman -Phone Call from DA's Of' Page 1 From: BRUCE Barker To: salzman, Bethany Date: 7/17/01 4:52PM Subject: Phone Call from DA's Office Apparently there is a man who is keeping big cats on property by Kersey. Wildlife is concerned that the enclosures are not adequate. I suspect the guy does not have a USR. Someone from the DA's Office will be calling you. We had better follow up as a zoning violation. The Attorney General's Office will follow up with the violations of state statute for exotic game licensing. Bruce.

Kelpis, USDA Investigator Date: Monday, July 30, 2001 Subject Ken Alvarez Bethany, Enclosed are a few of Mr. Alvarez'past USDA inspection reports from when he lived in Kansas and when he was inspected on the road. He will tell you the facility belonged to Barb Stevens, whom he paid to take care of the facility while he was on the road with his cats. The facility did belong to Ms. Stevens, however, it was his responsibility to keep the facility up to USDA standards since the facility was licensed under his name. He's going to be in the same situation here in Colorado, where he's on the road with his cat's all year long and someone else will be responsible for his facility. I spoke with another USDA licensee last week and he told me two of Mr. Alvarez'lions got loose about I %years ago. There is currently a•case pending on Mr. Alvarez pertaining to exhibiting his cats without a USDA license in Colorado. I have several counts against him in this case. This case was started because Mr. Alvarez' USDA license expired on June 8, 2001. Instead of waiting to get approved for a new exhibitor's license in Colorado, he continued to exhibit his cats even AFTER our USDA Inspector told him he could not exhibit until he was approved for a license. He was sited for this once before in 1999. If you have any questions pertaining to this information or during your meeting with Mr. Alvarez,please do not hesitate to call me on my cellular phone at 303-748-1096.
