2021-APHIS-05169-F Bartley, Lisa Media -- ABC7 Eyewitness News 8/6/2021 9/3/2021 I’m looking for anything you have on him, including a copy of his current license, veterinary records, 

facil ty addresses, any complaints, enforcement actions and fines assessed. Also, if it exists, a l cense for a 

specif c giraffe named Stanley. They were moved from California to Texas in early June of 2021. I believe 

he is at 602 Parsons Road in Mingus Texas, but I'd like to confirm that. Stanley the giraffe was being 

illegally housed at a ranch in Malibu and the family who owned him shipped him to Texas. Here is a story 

we d d on this giraffe and the ranch in March of 2021. https://abc7.com/pets-animals/stanley-the-giraffein-legal-limbo-as-owner-fights-misdemeanor-criminal-case/10433927/ I am going to attach a few 

documents that may help in your search. One is an older USDA document on the ranch in Malibu. Another 

is a CA Dept of Food and Agriculture Certificate of Veterinary Inspection that was issued just before they 

moved Stanley. And the last is the same document for another giraffe named Tiny. I believe he's being 

housed with Stanley wherever he is in Texas. There is an address of 729 Parsons Road in Mingus Texas on 

those docs, but that just says it's the transporter's address and destination of the shipment. It doesn't 

necessarily mean that's where Stanley and Tiny ended up. I'm looking for any documents you have related 

to Stanley or Tiny or the owner Ronald Semler. (Date Range for Record Search: From 5/14/2021 To
