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."

I don't know which is worse, people who think this way or people who don't vet their dogs at all. The people who take their pets to a doctor like this are fooling themselves that they are doing right by their pets.

You know that if he treated his OWN dog like he did then he could not possibly care about the pets that were his patients. I Pray to God they shut him down forever.

And they liked his Voodoo cures. Hope someone takes him Spelunking in an abandoned mine shaft somewhere.

I went to my vet yesterday and he had read and heard about this person. We did discuss that at 70yrs old maybe this vet was suffering from some sort of dementia, but hey he said, Retire.

I hope this person gets all that they deserve!

It is sad to say that many pet owners are just clueless and it looks like this vet made sure the ones that are clueless just stayed that way.

I'm glad this particular case got so much media attention or this "very popular" vet could have gotten away with his dirty deeds and continued to mistreat pets. It is not unusual for these agencies to cover up for their own. Let's hope that when the heat is off they don't reinstate him.

How could anyone witness that kind of suffering and not do something? I realize those people needed their jobs but how could they watch that kind of thing? So, so very sick.

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!

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 just wanted to say I did not mean any blame was on the pet owners. It would be like blaming anyone who is scammed...but..still there were some red flags that bother me ..

This situation makes me so sad, and that people are defending this monster is incomprehensible!

I am not defending this man at all but you would be surprised what dementia can cause. I cared for my Dad with this disease, he was one of the most modest people who ever lived. 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.

Sorry about your Dad but this is different. By your example what did the Vet do on his "Good Days", continue torturing the animals either out of cruelty or greed. Then there's the staff, the didn't notice or care what was going on. They were trained (Bad thing, I'm Assuming) as Vet Techs, aside from the cruelty, sanitary conditions in that pig sty.


Heck we don't even have our pup yet and we are interviewing/researching for Vet and Groomer. Found my old Groomer from 20 years ago by accident, she was great and will probably go back to the Vet we had 20 years ago for Angel my Yorkie then. The Vets on the other side of Tucson, but worth it he was great and according to people still is tops.

Like I said I am not defending this vet at all. Do not know if he actually even has dementia and as far as his staff there is no excuse that someone did not step up earlier and stop these poor animals from being abused. What happened there is right out of a horror movie. I feel so sorry for these poor pets. I do not have a lot of sympathy for their humans because if the place is like the report says I would never of taken my babies there.
