Tony Cavallaro, speaking to The Post, expressed his concerns about the increasing actions taken by the DEC against pet owners, stating, "I think there's a bigger plan behind all this. They're going after innocent people to see how far they can get away with us." He worries this trend threatens the rights of pet owners and calls for awareness on the ongoing seizures by state officials.
Cavallaro recounted his emotions regarding the recent raid on Mark Longo's home, stating, "It's just really sad, that squirrel didn't do nothing. I'm so sorry for what they went through. There's nothing they could do." His empathy towards Longo's plight reflects a larger anxiety about the power dynamics between pet owners and regulatory authorities.
Describing his experience with the DEC, Cavallaro expressed deep frustration and distrust, declaring, "They are just a dirty, dirty organization. I don't know what they're trying to do to us, but there is no justification for their actions." This highlights the emotional toll these encounters have on individuals and the perceived overreach by state agencies.
In reference to the legal battle surrounding his pet alligator, Cavallaro insisted, "It was illegal for me to keep him... I tried numerous times to renew my longtime permit but the agency refused to respond for years." This points to a systemic issue with communication and legal processes concerning exotic pet ownership.
