" I told him (a USDA inspector), I told that one guy one the these days, one day out here, oh he wasn't getting smart, but he was telling me I need to do this and do that. And I said, 'I'm just not that concerned about it, And he said, 'what do you mean' and I said, I'll 'just have me a dispersal shooting.' He didn't like that much. I was dead serious. I'd get rid of 'em. I'd have a dispersal shooting. . . I shot a few, but it was out of necessity." View Investigation Report |
WOW. What a disgusting human being. If you could call that "human", that is. Yeah, great solution to his
problem there
.
CAPS looks interesting, Nancy, good find.

Them not being aware of any kennels, does not mean that there are no kennels, it just means that nobody has reported them for any violations, but then again who would, the USDA? I think not. |
Exactly. If people or the law (other than the USDA) don't have access to witness the cruelty, then how on earth can they ever be charged with it? In my opinion, the USDA should have to disclose Mills to their local Humane Ass'ns (no, this is not the HSUS) and let them decide if they're operating cruelty-free or not. The USDA isn't reporting cruelty, just handing out citations....for years on end.
