CRUELTY CRITICS

 “This video shows severe animal abuse.” Dr. Temple Grandin “This facility demonstrates abominable mistreatment and abuse of its animals, cruel mishandling, unsafe conditions for its animals, and poor oversight of its workers. … Such despicable cruelty to animals is intolerable.” Dr. Armaiti May “[I]t is essential that the sort of blatant abuse illustrated in this nightmarish video must be stopped in its tracks, and that those perpetrating such abuse and those managers allowing it to take place , should be prosecuted to the fullest extent allowable by law.” Dr. Bernard Rollin “In summary, this auction facility causes unnecessary stress and pain to the animals by carrying them inappropriately, failing to provide water to animals held over an extended period of time, and by gratuitously beating and whipping them.” Dr. Lee Schrader “The handling and treatment of the animals depicted in the video at this facility is clearly deplorable and in much need of improvement.” Dr. Sara Shields “Management appears to be involved in denying the animals’ basic necessities, and there is no evidence that they are concerned about the culture of rampant worker cruelty toward the animals that exists in full view in their facility.” Dr. Debra Teachout |
