From ANIMAL PEOPLE, November 1999:

WASHINGTON D.C.––The D.C.
Department of Human Rights and Local Business
Development on September 17 told complainant
Carroll Cox and respondent Friends of Animals that
it has found probable cause to believe that FoA violated
the D.C. Human Rights Act of 1977 when it
fired Cox in August 1999.
A former special investigator for the
California Department of Fish and Wildlife and the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Cox was hired by
FoA in April 1997 to work on wildlife issues. He
was relocated from his own office in Hawaii to the
FoA branch office in Washington D.C. in June 1997
––and was fired by FoA president Priscilla Feral
just seven weeks later, despite apparently outstanding
performance, acknowledged in her memos.

From ANIMAL PEOPLE, November 1999:

The Connecticut Department of Animal
Protection on October 11 agreed to suspend fur trapping
on state land pending completion of new rules
for bidding on trapping rights, in settlement of a
September lawsuit brought by the Animal Rights
Front, Friends of Animals, and non-lethal nuisance
wildlife trapper Arlene Corey. Because of the length
of the comment and notification periods required to
produce new rukes, the agreement means that in
effect there will be no fur trapping on Connecticut
state land this winter, Fund for Animals representative
Julie Lewin told ANIMAL PEOPLE. Lewin
was among the activists who last winter bought the
trapping rights on 47,000 acres––approximately a
third of the state land offered––but were excluded by
a change of rules this year which stipulated that bidders
be able to prove they had actually sold trapped
pelts during the previous four winters.
