  • Steve threw 2 dead puppies at inspectors (WTF)

    After completing the review of the inspection report, the licensee and inspectors began to speak about protective guards for heat lamps in the whelping areas. The licensee stopped this conversation and then said I want to show you what happens when you walk through the whelping area. He reached back into a cabinet located next to him and pulled out an object that he threw across the table at the inspectors. One inspector reacted by raising her hands and the object bounced off her hands and into her lap. The object was a quart-sized clear plastic bag containing two deceased puppies. The puppies were both large enough to occupy the majority of the space in the bag. The supervisor stated that it was unacceptable to throw things at inspectors and that the AC personnel would be leaving. As they walked out the door, the supervisor reiterated to the licensee that harassment, verbal abuse and other acts of intimidation by the licensee or his representatives were not compliant with the regulations and would not be tolerated.

Redness, hair loss, swelling, and built-up debris of the skin can be signs of infection, irritation, or injury.
