Nothing is as it seems
Marana Guinea Pigs Case:
This case is not what it appears to be at all. From the start, the story never added up. Lidtke Technologies is the company who owns the non-profit Lidtke Small Animal Foundation (LSAF). Lidtke Technologies is a biotech company that sells supplements and is owned by Ronald Sturtz. The person who stole these guinea pigs has in her own words said “we did it to save them the sanctuary is NOT who they seem and abuse the shi out of them.” There is a connection between her and the company. Because she is a minor (14 years of age), we are not comfortable posting her name or how she is connected but she appears to be a person who cares about animals. She claims the police have the guinea pigs but there is no confirmation on that. The detective on the case has been contacted by multiple people.
Lidtke Technologies / Bios Biochemical has stated “We are willing to provide tissue samples for the purpose of research.” “uses a natural fermentation” to produce their Tryptogold (look into that method and think about the “special diet” they claim they are on and how they are “medical pigs”) and their 990 description states “To provide a sanctuary for abandoned and health impaired animals, together with research and treatment facilities that utilize kind and caring protocols in the course of saving animals and developing new therapies.” What they are actually doing with or to these guinea pigs is a mystery.
The laws broken in this situation likely extend far beyond breaking and entering, theft of guinea pigs, and animal abuse. We are sharing this all only because people have demonized this young girl and have out of compassion for the face value story donated to something that appears very sinister.
Edit to add: the Foundation now claims no connection to Lidtke Technologies but Ron Sturtz filed the 990’in February. Ariel Myers took over as the president of the foundation in January 2025 but Alexis Camero, who is stated as a Lidtke employee is also on the foundations board. How can you make a claim of no connection? If they are now on the up and up, they could easily come out and tell the history and past transgressions of the Foundation.
