118S TATEMENT OF T HE I SSUE
125Whether PetitionerÔs application for a license to possess Class II w ildlife
137for personal use should be approved.
143P RELIMINARY S TATEMENT
147By letter dated August 25, 2021, the Florida Fi sh and Wildlife
159Conservation Commission (FWC or Commission) notified Kimberly Kiehl
167(Petitioner) that her application for a license to possess Class II w ildlife for
181personal use had been denied. Petitioner timely requested a hearing to
192contest the denial a nd the matter was referred to DOAH to conduct a
206disputed - fact hearing.
210At the hearing, Petitioner testified on her own behalf and also offered
222testimony from Kadir Olav. FWC called the following witnesses: Damon
232Saunders, an investigator with FWC; and Jo hn Conlin, the administrative
243lieutenant for FWCÔs captive wildlife offices. FWC Exhibits 1 through 4 were
255received into evidence. There were no exhibits admitted into evidence on
266behalf of Petitioner. The proceedings were recorded and a transcript of the
278disputed - fact hearing was ordered.
284By agreement, the parties were given 20 days after the filing of the
297transcript in which to file proposed recommended orders. The Transcript was
308filed on January 10, 2022. Each party timely filed its Proposed Recommende d
321Order, and the same were considered in preparing this Recommended Order.
332F INDINGS OF F ACT
3371. FWC is the state agency with exclusive jurisdiction to regulate all wild
350animal life in Florida. See Art. IV, § 9, Fla. Const . 1
3632. All persons who possess capti ve wildlife for the purposes of Ñpersonal
376possessionÒ must have a license from FWC. See § 379.3762(1), Fla. Stat.
3881 All references to the Florida Constitution, Florida Statutes, and Florida Administrative
400Code are to the 2021 version, unless otherwise indicated.
4093. By rule promulgated by FWC, categories of wildlife for which a license
422is required are broken down into three classes. See Fla. Admin. Cod e R. 68A -
4386.002. Generally, a person cannot possess Class I animals as personal pets
450unless they came into their possession prior to 1988. Class I animals include
46324 different species generally considered extremely dangerous, and include
472wildlife such as ch impanzees, gorillas, orangutans, baboons, leopards,
481jaguars, tigers, bears, rhinoceros, elephants, hippopotamuses, crocodiles, and
489K omodo dragons. See Fla. Admin. Code R. 68A - 6.002(1)(a).
5004. Class II animals include 38 different species that may, with a pr oper
514license, be possessed as personal pets or for commercial purposes. Class II
526animals have the potential to cause harm but not to the extent of Class I
541animals and include wildlife such as s ervals, Howler monkeys, Patas
552monkeys, Vervet monkeys, Macaques , bobcats, wolves, wolverines, honey
560badgers, and alligators. See Fla. Admin Code R. 68A - 6.002(1)(b).
5715. Class III animals include wildlife not listed as Class I or II. See Fla.
586Admin. Code R. 68A - 6.002(1)(c).
5926. On or about March 17, 2021, Petitioner subm itted to the Commission
605an Application for License to Possess Wildlife for Personal Use (application).
616Petitioner submitted the application so as to secure a permit to possess a
629serval, which is categorized as Class II wildlife. The application contains an
641attestation section which states:
645I swear and affirm that the information provided is
654true and correct. I agree to adhere to the provisions
664of Chapter 379 Florida Statutes, and the rules and
673regulations of the Commission pertaining to the
680possession of wi ldlife. I understand that my wildlife
689facilities are subject to inspection by Commission
696personnel as required by Florida Statute.
702Petitioner signed and dated the application as required.
7107. By correspondence dated April 14, 2021, the Commission notified
720Petitioner that her application could not be processed until the $140
731application fee was paid.
7358. By inference, it appears as though Petitioner paid the application fee ,
747since the Commission, by correspondence dated May 27, 2021, informed
757Petitioner that additional information was needed in order to process her
768application. Among other things, the Commission requested that Petitioner
777provide the following:
780Documentation of experience for Class II Felidae is
788missing or incomplete. Applicant must
793demonstrate /document one year of experience (to
800consist of not less than 1,000 hours) in the care,
811feeding, handling, and husbandry of the species for
819which the permit is sought, or other species in the
829same biological family that are similar in size,
837characteristics , care and nutritional requirements.
842Documentation of experience must include specific
848date(s), time(s) and location(s) where experience
854was obtained and a detailed description of the type
863of experience obtained.
866Letters of reference for Class II Felidae are missing
875or incomplete. Two letters of reference must be
883provided from individuals having personal
888knowledge of the applicantÔs stated experience. One
895letter of reference must be from someone licensed
903by the Commission for wildlife of the same family
912an d the same or higher class for which you are
923seeking authorization or a representative of a
930professional organization or governmental
934institution. Examples of such organizations or
940institutions include, but are not limited to,
947Universities, Public Service Agencies, Zoological
952Associations, Herpetological Societies and
956veterinarians. No more than one letter of reference
964may be from a family member of the applicant.
9739. Although the date of submission is not apparent from the evidence
985presented during the fin al hearing, Petitioner, in support of her application,
997eventually submitted Ñdocumentation of experienceÒ forms which purportedly
1005reflect dates, hours worked, and a description of the work performed with
1017servals from February 6, 2020, through February 14, 2021.
102610. At some point in the process, Petitioner also submitted letters of
1038reference from Kadir Olav and Tyler Funk. The letter from Kadir Olav is
1051dated February 22, 2021, and the letter from Tyler Funk is dated March 14,
10652021.
106611. Tyler Funk stated the following in the letter of reference submitted in
1079support of PetitionerÔs application:
1083To whom it may concern,
1088I recommend Kimberly Kiehl to get her wildlife
1096license as she has always been incredibly good with
1105animals. As long as I can remember she found and
1115rehabilitated stray animals so that they could be
1123adopted out.
1125She has a degree as she went to school to be a
1137veterinary assistant. She is exceptionally good with
1144animals and seems to be very knowledgeable in the
1153subject.
1154If you have any question, pl ease feel free to contact
1165me.
1166Thank you,
1168Tyler W. Funk
117112. Mr. Olav stated the following in his letter of reference:
1182To whom it may concern. I am recommending that
1191Kimberly Schaff Kiehl be approved for the Class 2
1200Wildlife Permit. I know her very well a nd I know
1211that she has well over the 1000 hours of experience
1221necessary. She has helped partake in the caring of
1230my animals on countless occasions and absolutely
1237deserves a permit of her own. I cannot think of
1247someone I know that is more deserving. I know she
1257has all the skills and resources required to do a
1267fantastic job with her future animals. I of course
1276have a license of my own please feel free to contact
1287me if you have any questions. Thank you!
1295Sincerely,
1296Kadir Olav
129813. Damon Saunders is an investi gator for the Commission and is
1310assigned to the office in Titusville, Florida. Investigator Saunders is a sworn
1322law enforcement officer and has worked for the Commission since 2004.
133314. Investigator Saunders performs annual license holder inspections as
1342pa rt of his duties, and sometime around mid - November 2020 he met with
1357Mr. Olav for an inspection. At the time of the inspection, Mr. Olav held a
1372Class II personal pet license for a pet serval.
138115. During his meeting with Mr. Olav, I nvestigator Saunders, in a ddition
1394to verifying that Mr. Olav still possessed a serval, reminded Mr. Olav that his
1408Class II license was about to expire and that Ñhe needs to get on the ball and
1425reapply so he didnÔt have a lapse in his licensure.Ò Despite the warning,
1438Mr. Olav allowe d his Class II personal pet license to lapse on November 29,
14532020.
145416. As previously noted, Mr. OlavÔs letter of reference is dated
1465February 22, 2021, which is nearly three months after his Class II license
1478expired. Given Investigator SaundersÔ credible te stimony that in November
14882020 he reminded Mr. Olav of the imminent expiration of his C lass II license,
1503it is reasonable to infer that when Mr. Olav authored his letter of reference ,
1517he knew that he no longer held a valid Class II license. Therefore, when
1531M r. Olav stated in his letter of reference that ÑI of course have a license of my
1549own,Ò this statement, which was offered in support of PetitionerÔs application,
1561had the effect of conveying information that was false, misleading, and
1572inaccurate.
157317. Landon Ailstock works for the Commission as a captive wildlife
1584investigator, and his duties include assisting with the Class II licensure
1595process. On July 1, 2021, Investigator Ailstock sent the following email to
1607Petitioner:
1608Ms. Kiehl,
1610Per our conversation, ple ase provide the following
1618information:
1619* What location(s) your Class II experience was
1627obtained at. Additionally, how many servals you
1634were working with at those facilities.
1640* Provide clarification as to your major or college
1649coursework. (Individuals who [se] college
1654coursework was in a biological science can
1661potentially be exempt from providing experience
1667hours).
1668* Attached to this email is your experience log for
1678servals. Please provide further details regarding
1684the descriptions in you r log.
1690Once this information is received, your application
1697should be complete.
170018. On July 11, 2021, Petitioner sent the following email in response to
1713Investigator AilstockÔs request for additional information:
1719Landon,
1720I have received all of my Class II experience at
1730Ka dir OlavÔs residence. His address is
17372928 Blooming Alamanda Loop, Kissimmee, FL. He
1744has 2 servals and 4 Savannahs that I did my hours
1755with.
1756I also received my Vet Teck license back in 1988 at
1767MerryField School. The address is 5040 NE 13
1775Ave., Ft. Lauderda le, FL 33334. Attached is some of
1785the experience that Kadir presented to me in my
1794learning so that I can receive my wildlife license .
1804Thank you,
1806Kimberly Kiehl
180819. As previously noted, Petitioner submitted, as part of her application, a
1820log sheet showing what are purportedly practical experience hours secured
1830between February 6, 2020, and February 14, 2021. According to Petitioner,
1841her practical experience garnered during this period totals 1,015.5 0 hours,
1853and each hour earned was done so while working wi th Mr. Olav. When
1867Petitioner informed Investigator Ailstock that she received ÑallÒ of her Class
1878II experience at Kadir OlavÔs residence, it was PetitionerÔs intent to receive
1890credit for the entirety of the 1,015.5 0 hours. By the time Mr. OlavÔs license
1906ex pired on November 29, 2020, Petitioner had , however, acquired only 719.50
1918hours, which is short of the 1 , 000 hours needed in order to satisfy the
1933licensure requirements. Because Petitioner did not acquire ÑallÒ (i.e. at least
19441,000) of her required hours f rom Mr. Olav, given that his license expired on
1960November 29, 2020, her statement to the Commission that she had done so
1973was false, misleading, and inaccurate.
197820. Because Mr. Olav was known by the Commission to own at least one
1992serval, the Commission, once Mr. OlavÔs license expired, attempted over the
2003course of several months to contact him in an effort to garner information
2016about the status of his animal(s). On July 9, 202 1 , I nvestigator Saunders was
2031finally able to personally meet with Mr. Olav, and his body camera recorded
2044the encounter.
204621. At the beginning of the interaction between Mr. Olav and Investigator
2058Saunders, Mr. Olav explained that his serval had died. Investigator Saunders
2069entered Mr. OlavÔs home and verified that the serval was not present. While
2082the two were exiting the home, Mr. Olav initiated the following exchange:
2094Mr. Olav : Back whenever everything was still
2102pretty good, I had a friend of mine who was
2112interested in getting her license.
2117Invest. Saunders : Kimberly?
2121Mr. Olav : Yeah, cause I just È searched through
2131my emails to see, like uh, why I havenÔt heard
2141anything È like in regards to her È . So, I typed in
2154Florida Fish and Wildlife in my email and I saw a
2165bunch of stuff like your email, I saw something
2174from someone else asking for my phone number, or
2183something like that. And then I was thinking like
2192crap, I didnÔt check the date on that so I donÔt know
2204how long ago that was, but would they still allow
2214me to be a reference at this point È since that was
2226months ago?
2228Invest. Saunders : I Ôll have to get back with them.
2239You may not be eligible to be a reference, but it
2250depends.
2251Mr. Olav : Cause at that time I still had the serval.
2263That was a long time ago. That was around the
2273time, I think the last time I saw you.
2282Invest. Saunders : Oh, so you were just being a
2292reference? She didnÔt actually come here to get
2300hours with you?
2303Mr. Olav : No, I mean, no, no. She has È I know her
2317personally.
2318Invest. Saunders : SheÔs got her own experience?
2326Mr. Olav : Yeah, yeah, exactly. I was just being a
2337refere nce.
2339Invest. Saunders : So, sheÔs not trying to get hours
2349from you?
2351Mr. Olav : No, no, no È . But yeah, that was when I
2365still had like servals here and everything, and I
2374offered to be a reference. But I donÔt know whatÔs
2384going on with my - - I never renewe d because of
2396what happened. So, I donÔt know if I can even still Ï
2408Invest. Saunders : When did the cat die?
2416Mr. Olav : ItÔs been months. Yeah, itÔs been awhile.
2426Maybe about two months - - maybe two or three
2436months. Something like that, yeah.
244122. Soon after meeting with Mr. Olav, Investigator Saunders contacted
2451Investigator Ailstock, provided him with a copy of the body camera recording,
2463and informed him of the statements made by Mr. Olav about Petitioner.
24752 3 . Because of the apparent conflict between the sta tements of Petitioner
2489and Mr. Olav, the Commission ceased its evaluation of PetitionerÔs
2499application, and by correspondence dated August 25, 2021, informed
2508Petitioner of its intent to deny her application as stated below:
2519Submitted with your application we re experience
2526hours obtained with servals at 2928 Blooming
2533Alamanda Loop, Kissimmee, Florida, with Kadir
2539Olav. The hours ranged from February 6, 2020,
2547through February 14, 2021. According to Captive
2554Wildlife records, Mr. Olav has not had an active
2563license for servals since November 29, 2020.
2570Additionally, when Captive Wildlife staff contacted
2576Mr. Olav to confirm your experience, he stated he
2585was to be used as a reference but was not
2595responsible for your hours of experience.
2601The experience hours you have su bmitted in your
2610application do not coincide with Mr. OlavÔs
2617statement or licensure. The FWC has determined
2624you submitted materially false information when
2630applying for your [personal pet license].
2636Submission of false information to FWC constitutes
2643ground for denial under Rule 68 - 1.010(1)(a) and (b),
2653Florida Administrative Code È .
2658Your application for a PPL contains false
2665information and therefore is denied.

3674Petitioner information that was false, misleading, and inaccurate , and the
3684same was therefore submitted in violation of rule 68 - 1.010(1) (a).
36963 2 . As noted above , rule 68A - 6.004(2)(c)2.c. provides, in part, that at least
3712one of an applicantÔs references with personal k nowledge of the applicantÔs
3724stated experience, Ñmust be licensed by the commission for wildlife of the
3736same family and the same or higher class for which the applicant is seeking
3750authorization.Ò Petitioner suggests that this requirement be interpreted such
3759that a reference need not be licensed during the entirety of the period during
3773which an applicant seeks credit.
37783 3 . It has long been recognized that one of the canons of statutory
3793construction requires a court to avoid a literal interpretation of statuto ry
3805language that would result in an absurd or ridiculous conclusion. See State v.
3818Sullivan , 95 Fla. 191 (Fla. 1928).
38243 4 . Section 379.303 ensures that captive wildlife is properly cared for, and
3838the public appropriately protected, by authorizing the Commiss ion to
3848establish rules and requirements that ensure that only qualified persons are
3859in possession of regulated wildlife. One of the ways of achieving this goal is
3873by requiring that the person seeking a Class II license be properly supervised
3886while obtainin g substantial practical experience or, alternatively, that an
3896applicant successfully complete a written examination. It would be absurd,
3906and indeed inconsistent with the stated legislative goals, to embrace an
3917interpretation of rule 68A - 6.004(2)(c)2.c. tha t would allow an individual, such
3930as Mr. Olav, to continue to serve as the Ñreference with a licenseÒ for periods
3945during which the individual was not licensed.
39523 5 . As noted in the Findings of Fact, PetitionerÔs representation to the
3966Commission that she Ñr eceived all of [her] Class II experience at Kadir OlavÔs
3980residenceÒ is false, misleading, and inaccurate , because Petitioner acquired
3989only 719.5 0 hours of substantial practical experience by the time Mr. OlavÔs
4002license expired on November 29, 2020. The fac t that Petitioner might not
4015have known about the status of Mr. OlavÔs license when she submitted her
4028application is immaterial and irrelevant since the framework for evaluating
4038an application for a Class II license does not allow an applicant to circumvent
4052licensing requirements by claiming a lack of knowledge. Simply stated, it was
4064PetitionerÔs obligation to verify the truth and accuracy of all information
4075related to her application before submitting the information to the
4085Commission.
40863 6 . Petitioner faile d to meet her ultimate burden of persuasion.
40993 7 . Accordingly, it is appropriate to deny PetitionerÔs application for a
4112Class II license to possess Class II wildlife for personal possession. See Fla.
4125Admin. Code R. 68 - 1.010(1)(e)(authorizing the Commission to Ñdeny
4135applications for any license, permit or other authorizationÒ based on a
4146Ñ[f]ailure by the applicant at any time to comply with chapters 369, 379 or
4160828, F.S., or the rules of the Commission È . Ò).
4171R ECOMMENDATION
4173Based on the foregoing Findings o f Fact and Conclusions of Law, it is
4187RECOMMENDED that the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation
4195Commission issue a f inal o rder denying Petitioner Kimberly KiehlÔs
4206application for a license to possess Class II wildlife for personal possession.
