EVERETT - A New Paris woman accused of running an illegal kennel was
convicted for poor housing, maintenence and lack of proper records for more
than 100 dogs after a summary hearing Monday. About 60 photos of Angela
Holloway's 2192 Rocklick Hollow Road kennel were entered into evidence
showing mounds of dog excrement, kennels with no roofs and a used syringe
just outside a kennel.
The citations were a result of a state inspection Nov.3, 2003, for approval
of a kennel license. State dog wardens, veterinarians and the Department of
Agriculture officials were present during the inspection. District Justice
Brian Baker found Holloway guilty on the charges after the trial at the West
Providence Municipal Building.
State Dog Warden Tracy Miller, who filed the citations, testified that his
nose burned from the smell of urine inside Holloway's garage where pregnant
and nursing dogs were kept; he said he saw dogs walking through their own
feces, and holes were rotting into the sides of a barn where some dogs would
stay.
Elizabeth Santini, a state veterinarian who was at the inspection, said what
she remembers most about Holloway's kennels was the odor of urine, feces and
old dog food. "It was very clear to me that the daily sanitation wasn't
being done, "Santini said during her testimony. "I was concerned most with
ventilation."
Holloway, 35, was called to testify. She testified that she only has 25
dogs on her property, which is one less than what is needed for a license.
Her defense was that she thought the inspection was to inform her of what
she needs to do to her kennel to bring the kennel into compliance. She said
she was shocked when she got citations 10 days later.
Those citations were withdrawn in early December on orders from the
Department of Agriculture. Miller had filed cruelty charges and didn't
refile those again.
Holloway's attorney Michael Winters, said during his closing statement that
Holloway admitted she was not in compliance for a kennel license. "(She) is
indicating she was in violation. "She thought it was and inspection to come
into compliance," Winters said.
Winters said that Holloway provided her dogs a shelter and cited a
dictionary definition of "shelter". He said by dogs being in a barn the dogs
are sheltered.
In Miller's citations he filed, he wrote that the shelter "must preserve
(the dogs') body heat." Miller testified that the barn had large gaps
between boards and wet floors.
Santini said she noticed large amounts of rain run-off around one kennel and
the floor of the kennel was "very wet." She also said when she looked at
several of the dogs in the kennel the dogs had "very soiled coats and pads
of their paws." She also noticed "a very strong odor of feces and ammonia,
even though it was an open area."
Assistant District Attorney Brandi Hauck said there have been ongoing
"compliance issues" with Holloway. "There is testimony that this went on for
four years." "you have to be up to speed before the inspection," Hauck said
during her closing argument.
The only citations Holloway was acquitted of were running a kennel without a
license for 2004 and not having coated metal cages. She was ordered to pay
$4,725 in fines. Holloway has 30 days to file an appeal of the conviction;
if she does file an appeal, the case would be heard in county court.
Hollwoay was sentenced twice in 2002 for operating a kennel without a
license and ordered to pay $550 in fines and serve nine months probation.
Holloway was also banned from the American Kennel Club, the organization she
registered her dogs through, for 10 years after the Club revealed similar
conditions. |
