THE BENEFACTOR PROVIDES FUNDING, RESTRICTED FOR THE PURPOSE OF COVERING ALL ASSOCIATED COSTS, TO INCLUDE: BASE SALARY, BONUS, PAYROLL TAXES, AND PAYROLL PROCESSING FEES.
LEGAL FEESFORM 990-PF, PART I, LINE 16AIN MAY 2020, THE ARK WATCH FOUNDATION AND A CO-PLAINTIFF FILED A LAWSUIT IN MS FOR THE THEFT OF RANCH EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES, AND DAMAGES RESULTING FROM THE DEFENDANTS' FAILURE TO PROPERLY CARE FOR A GROUP OF RESCUE HORSES. THE DEFENDANTS HAVE LARGELY REFUSED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE CASE, STALLING THEIR DEPOSITIONS FOR TWO YEARS. THE CASE IS PENDING.IN DECEMBER 2020, THE ARK WATCH FOUNDATION AND CO-PLAINTIFF, RED BELL RUN FOUNDATION, FILED A LAWSUIT IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY, CA SUPERIOR COURT AGAINST MONIKA KERBER AND VILLA CHARDONNAY, HORSES WITH WINGS, FOR BREACH OF CONTRACT/WARRANTY WHEN KERBER FAILED TO ABIDE BY HER CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS TO PROPERLY CARE FOR EIGHT DONKEYS AND TWO HORSES PLACED WITH HER BY THE PLAINTIFFS.MID-APRIL 2020, KERBER HAD MOVED TO A LOCATION TOTALLY UNSUITABLE FOR DONKEYS AND SPECIAL NEEDS' EQUINES. WHEN ARK WATCH ED, CELINE MYERS, LEARNED OF THE MOVE, SHE CONTACTED KERBER AND ATTEMPTED TO EXERCISE HER CONTRACTUAL RIGHT TO REPOSSESS THE EQUINES. KERBER REFUSED THE REQUEST.ONE OF THE TWO ARK WATCH HORSES DIED JUST A FEW WEEKS AFTER MYERS TOLD KERBER THE TWO HORSES WOULD NOT SURVIVE AT THE NEW LOCATION AND ASKED FOR THE RETURN OF THE TEN ANIMALS. KERBER LIED ABOUT THE HORSE'S DEATH FOR ONE YEAR TO THE DAY AND SIX MONTHS INTO THE LAWSUIT, A MATTER CENTRAL TO THE CASE.FOR TWO YEARS, KERBER STALLED SITTING FOR A DEPOSITION. SHE EVENTUALLY FIRED HER THIRD ATTORNEY AND REFUSED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE CASE, STATING THAT THE COURT DID NOT HAVE JURISDICTION OVER HER BECAUSE, SHE CLAIMED, CA IS NOT PART OF THE U.S.ON 06/24/22, THE COURT RULED IN ARK WATCH'S FAVOR AND KERBER WAS ORDERED TO RETURN THE ONE REMAINING HORSE, DYLAN, AND EIGHT DONKEYS AND PAY $68K+ IN RESTITUTION. KERBER REFUSED TO COMPLY WITH THE JUDGEMENT. ARK WATCH'S ATTORNEYS WENT BACK TO COURT AND OBTAINED THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT TO SEIZE THE ANIMALS.ON 09/29/22, REPRESENTATIVES FROM ARK WATCH AND THE SAN DIEGO SHERIFF'S DEPT. MET AT VILLA CHARDONNAY TO REPOSSESS THE NINE EQUINES. WHEN PRESENTED WITH THE COURT PAPERWORK, MERCEDES FLORES, KERBER'S PARTNER AND VILLA CHARDONNAY'S TREASURER, TOLD THE OFFICERS THAT THE NINE ANIMALS WERE NO LONGER AT VILLA CHARDONNAY, SAYING SHE HAD SENT THEM TO MEXICO, EVEN THOUGH CELINE MYERS HAD ALREADY IDENTIFIED THE EIGHT DONKEYS IN A PEN THAT WAS VISIBLE FROM THE ROAD. AFTER REPEATED POLITE REQUESTS TO GAIN ENTRY TO THE PROPERTY, FLORES CONTINUED TO REFUSE LAW ENFORCEMENT ACCESS. EVENTUALLY OFFICERS OPENED A GATE AND THE TEAM WAS ABLE TO RETRIEVE THE EIGHT DONKEYS. MYERS WAS UNABLE TO FIND DYLAN AND FLORES REFUSED TO SAY WHERE HE WAS.ARK WATCH ATTORNEYS WENT BACK TO COURT AND ASKED THE JUDGE TO FIND KERBER IN CONTEMPT OF COURT FOR REFUSING TO COMPLY WITH THE JUDGMENT AND TURN OVER DYLAN. KERBER WAS ORDERED TO COURT TO EXPLAIN WHERE DYLAN WAS AND/OR WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM. KERBER TESTIFIED THAT DYLAN DIED ON 09/17/22, JUST TWELVE DAYS BEFORE MYERS ARRIVED WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT TO REMOVE THE ANIMALS.KERBER GAVE THE JUDGE PAPERWORK FROM A VET WHO CLAIMED TO HAVE PERFORMED A POST-MORTEM EXAMINATION ON A HORSE HE WAS TOLD WAS NAMED DYLAN. WHEN HE WAS LATER DEPOSED BY ARK WATCH ATTORNEYS, THE VET TESTIFIED HE DID NOT NOTICE ANY OF THE IDENTIFYING FEATURES OF THE HORSE THAT DYLAN WAS NOTICEABLY BLIND IN HIS RIGHT EYE AND HAD AN ARTHRITIC, EXAGGERATEDLY, BOWED RIGHT KNEE. ARK WATCH IS NOT SATISFIED WITH THE VET'S EXPLANATION OF WHAT HAPPENED TO DYLAN AND CONTINUES TO INVESTIGATE THE MATTER.THE JUDGE SANCTIONED KERBER $90K FOR CAUSING ARK WATCH TO INCUR ADDITIONAL LEGAL FEES AND COURT COSTS. ARK WATCH CONTINUES TO WORK TO COLLECT THE $170K IN JUDGMENTS OWED BY KERBER/VILLA CHARDONNAY.
