Mid West Sanctuary

[Budwisr]

 What ever happened to the Mid West Sanctuary? I believe the member that started it was "Mavricke"? Still around?

[IowaEagle]

It closed.  I have no idea where Mavericke is at this time.  I have heard both Illinois and Texas.

I wonder what happened to all the Eagles that resided there?

[IowaEagle]

Some were hauled off by the authorities, one or two rescued, not sure about the rest.  Pat Carpenter might know.

I hate when that happens 

[IowaEagle]

It was his own fault.

Sorry to hear that. Did he have some zoning issues? Case of poor planning?

[IowaEagle]

Yes, to both.  I think they said it was an unlicensed junk yard.

I hadn't heard that all of that stuff went down.  I had traded emails with Mavericke a few years ago about Eagles and life in general, and always wondered if he was taking on too many things between work, wife, kids, house, band, and Eagles.

I don't wanna stir up his personal life, but I think he got a divorce and was looking to move anyway. Really sucks, I met him in person and slept on the floor at his house the year me and my GF went up to the Cordova Eagle meet. I was actually going up to look at one of his cars. He seemed like a nice guy and his ambitions for his sanctuary were very cool. It's a shame things fell apart the way they did and especially to hear that some of his Eagles were taken away from him.

I rescued my Eagle not quite a year ago. At the time there were (I THINK) two Eagles in his barn & maybe 2 or 3 against the fence outside. Story was the county got upset about having all the Eagles sitting there & he 'had to' (HIS words) scrap the rest of them!
