In all of the research on the bill in the Legislature, AB 44,
to ban fur products in California, big Democratic donor and
LGBTQ activist Ed Buck’s name was prominent. Buck was just
arrested last week for luring young, gay African American men to
his home, and injecting them with methamphetamine. Buck is
alleged to have preyed on gay at-risk men, and pressured them to
do drugs, and especially, crystal meth.
Gemmel Moore, 26, was found dead inside Buck’s home in 2017.
Timothy Dean, 55, was found dead in Buck’s West Hollywood
apartment this year, yet Buck was never arrested. Recently, a
third young man nearly died, before Buck was finally arrested.
“Buck was arrested at his West Hollywood home Tuesday night,
less than a week after a man fled Buck’s home fearing he was
suffering a methamphetamine overdose, prosecutors allege,” the
Los Angeles Times reported.
Buck was a well-known wealthy Democratic Party donor, and was
the activist who first introduced the idea of a ban on fur
products. His home city of West Hollywood was the first city to
impose one.
This case is reminiscent of the Harvey Weinstein case. Weinstein
wasn’t arrested for years despite many credible accusations and
police reports of sexual abuses, many say because of his
political contributions.
It appears Buck spread a lot of campaign contributions around,
which served to buy favor with politicians, to ensure support
for his fur ban legislation. But is also worked to protect him
and keep him from being arrested even while he continued
drugging and manipulating men.
Under both his name and a PAC called Animal PAC he maxed out on
political contributions, and contributed hundreds of thousands
of dollars to politicians.
Ed Buck’s political donations are also interesting.
*Buck’s biggest political investment was for more than $300,000
to his political action committee called Animal PAC/Social
Compassion in Legislation for Animals. This PAC donated to
several campaigns.
*A partial list of beneficiaries of Ed Buck’s Animal PAC
include: Henry Stern for State Senate ($4,200), Anthony
Portantino for Senate 2016 ($2,500), Jeffrey Prang for Accessor
($6,000), Mike Feuer for City Attorney 2013 ($1,300), John Perez
for Assembly 2012 ($3,900), Bob Blumenfield for Assembly 2012
($1,000), Betty Yee for State Controller 2014 ($250), John Duran
for West Hollywood City Council ($3,200), Jeffrey Prang for West
Hollywood City Council ($3,200)
*Records dating back to 2009 showed Los Angeles Mayor Eric
Garcetti was one of Buck’s high-profile recipients, receiving
$1,400 in 2016. That money was returned about a month after
Moore died.
*Los Angeles County District Attorney Jackie Lacey received $100
from Buck in 2012. Her campaign claims that money was given back
in February of 2018.
*He gave former California state Senate leader Kevin De Leon
$18,700 over several campaigns.
*Democratic Congressman Ted Lieu took in $19,400 in state and
federal donations from Buck.
*Buck gave Rep. Adam Schiff, now chairman of the House Permanent
Select Committee on Intelligence, $2,700 in 2016.
*He made donations of $38,700 to John D’Amico, whose initial
election to the West Hollywood City Council in 2011 was a
project of Buck’s. An animal rights activist, Buck endorsed and
campaigned for D’Amico and provided him with an army of campaign
workers from various animal rights groups based on his support
for a ban on the sale of fur in West Hollywood.
In West Hollywood in advance of or during consideration of the
fur ban ordinance, Buck made $24,700 in donations to John Duran,
$2,500 in donations to Lauren Meister and $2,000 in donations to
John Heilman.
The political favor Mr. Buck earned through these donations
enabled him to secure a strong coalition of support for the fur
ban legislation among lawmakers…many of the same lawmakers who
also apparently provided him the special treatment and
protections that enabled him to avoid arrest for two years while
he continued to drug and manipulate men, nearly resulting in a
third death.
Below is a partial list of Ed Buck’s political contributions,
including his PAC contributions. The rest of his contributions
