I am sickened by the evil man. He didn't even have compassion for his own dog. From the NBC article
"In Tierce's arrest warrant affidavit, Fort Worth police and animal control officers said they found Tierce's black and white border collie lying in a box on the floor of an exam room. Police said the dog was twitching in pain. One of its legs was missing, another was dislocated and two of its shoulders were dislocated. A vet tech, identified as Cynthia Welch, said the dog had been in that condition, and largely in the same location, since she started working there on June 2, 2013.
Tierce admitted that the border collie was his dog and said he had provided the dog with only food and water and no medical attention."

The clinic has a "d" rating with BBB! That should tell you something!

I still don't understand having my fur baby put down due to declining health and not at least being there for that baby. I know the vet is the monster... but the pet parents are not too high on my list either.

This is a betrayal of trust so deep that it leaves one speechless!

In terms of the owners, I could never allow my pet to be pts without my presence. Not that I had or ever had any worry about nefarious goings on, but it is the last act of a loving owner. How-ever I do know that some folks do have an aversion so deep that it might physically be impossible for them to be present.

I would hate to be one of the clients of this clinic that had one of my dogs PTS there, even if I had stayed, how do I know that I wasn't hoodwinked into believing my dog had "passed" when what ever drug was given? I know with my Zoey I knew when her last breath was, but with Karma no.

Let us put blame where it lies, with all the employees of this clinic who at least some of them knew what was going on and did nothing, on the owner and vet of this clinic, on the failure of the regulatory body to have a confidential whistle blower line. You are all complicit if you saw, if you knew what was going on and did NOTHING to stop it.

I hope that this man pays - a serious payment - jailtime - suits that bankrupt him - and a suit against the Veterinary Association if at all possible.

I hope this person gets all that they deserve!

If they worked there for more then a week without reporting it they should be charged also and their names published so even if another Vet hires them someone will out them!

When we were young we wore long flannel gowns to bed and were not allowed out of the bedroom without a robe covering us, when this disease progressed in him if we didn't keep a close eye on him he would go out in the yard nude. He would have days like that and the horrible thing was that on a good day he would remember the events of the bad days at times and be so humiliated. It is such an awful thing to watch. Honestly I think Alzheimers would of been better for him.
