Tiger Sanctuary Malibu

Tiger Sanctuary Malibu is not Isis Preservation. We are not a lobbyist, public relations agency, marketing team or a social media firm. We are merely avid supporters of Isis Preservation, Irena Hauser and the wonderful work they do.

After a five year search Irena Hauser, Isis Preservation bought this property because it is zoned for wild animals, for tigers. There are no neighbors to the north for miles. There are only two neighbors to the west for miles. There are a few places nearby which already have tigers. She currently has all necessary permits (USDA, Fish & Wildlife) to have tigers in California. She has legally had tigers for 13 years in Los Angeles, California. She and her sister Sophia have many years of training and experience with tigers and other animals. They have a perfect history with all government agencies.

Irena Hauser applied for a conditional use permit (CUP). They met every single requirement necessary for the permit. The Ventura County Department of Planning gave them a negative declaration. This means the project will not negatively affect the environment, neighborhood or neighbors.

Their neighbor Carlos Siderman runs a business next door called Deer Creek Ranch Malibu. He breeds, boards and sells goats, horses and ducks. This is a residential zone. He cannot have a business without a CUP. He does not have a CUP. He would need Irena to agree to his CUP.

Carlos Siderman previously tried to buy this property but was denied. We believe he wants this property so he can illegally access the California state park on his horses. It's illegal to ride off trail in the park.

There is (was) a protected creek that runs between the two properties. This is a coastal area so all waterways, brush, oak trees are protected. Even though Siderman knew the creek was protected he bulldozed it, removed the brush and oak trees. He created a 15' wide half a mile long horse trail leading over Irena Hauser's property into the state park.

After Carlos Siderman heard Irena Hauser received a negative declaration and could proceed with the project Siderman hired a public relations firm to lobby against the project. This firm spread lies, propaganda and defamation about Irena and Isis Preservation via flyers, signs, protests, blogs, pages and media articles. They even made tshirts and hats saying "No Tigers!"

The lobbyist contacted organizations and politicians giving them totally false information asking them to write letters against the project. The lobbyist lied and told people they beat their animals, declaw them, breed them, the animals won't be enclosed... The animals are spayed, not declawed, they give them the best care and the animals will be in enclosures.

Because of the paid lobbyists spreading false information the Ventura County Planning Commission did a complete 180 degree turn. Even though the Department previously said the project met all requirements the Commission voted 3 to 2 against the project. Commissioners Michael Wesner and Stephen Onstot both voted FOR the CUP stating there is absolutely no reason why they should be denied. They met every single requirement and did absolutely everything the Department asked them to do. It was noted that Commissioner Nora Aidukas' husband works for Carlos Siderman. She should have recused herself but did not. She did not even disclose this before the March 20, 2014 meeting.

This blog is about the appeals process to the Board of Supervisors. We have posted the negative declaration, application, power point presentations, expert reports and letters of support. We also posted video from the hearings. We post all these things to see justice for Irena and Isis Preservation.

The Sidermans are public figures. We are speaking about issues of public concern. Everything we have posted here is the absolute truth backed by facts and our personal opinion. If you find an error, please send us a correction with supporting documents so we may correct things to tigersanctuarymalibu@gmail.com
