ATTENDING VETERINARIAN AND ADEQUATE VETERINARY CARE (DEALERS AND EXHIBITORS).
- Upon review of the medical records, there are a number of animals that have been seen by the attending
veterinarian and recommendations documented for treatment of the animals. Treatment that was recommended by
the veterinarian that has not been implemented or followed has affected the following animals:
Shula, female Bengal tiger - was prescribed metacam on 8/22/16 but had not been getting the medication as
prescribed.
Turbo, a mountain lion - was recommended for euthanasia on two different occasions (12/15/15 and 8/22/16) due to
mobility concerns.
Marshmellow, a male sheep was reccomended to be dewormed and provided a different diet.
- In addition, a feeding protocol for animals present at the sanctuary was updated in January 2013. Observation of
the animals at the facility, review of the available feeding records, availability of food at the facility and discussion
with volunteers indicates that the feeding protocol is not being followed.
Exhibitors shall assure that the attending veterinarian has appropriate authority to ensure the provision of adequate
veterinary care and to oversee the adequacy of other aspects of animal care and use.
The sanctuary has not given the appropriate authority to the veterinarian to provide medical care and treatment to
the animals present. Nor has the facility communicated with the veterinarian about appropriate diets for the animals
that have been observed to have lost weight.
The facility must provide the appropriate authority to the attending veterinarian for the veterinary care of the animals
starting immediately.

ATTENDING VETERINARIAN AND ADEQUATE VETERINARY CARE (DEALERS AND EXHIBITORS).
A facility representative caring for the tree squirrel down by the cabin stated that the animal is a low maintenance
animal and that he only provides it food and water about every three days or so.

HOUSING FACILITIES, GENERAL.
The enclosure housing 2 cats and the enclosure housing an additional 6 cats with the birds had laminate flooring.
The laminate flooring where the two cats are has been pecked on by the birds, according the the facility
representative, in the corners and is not being kept in good repair. In addition the laminate flooring is no longer
sticking to the wall and floors making it such that it can not be properly cleaned and sanitized as required.
The housing facilities for these animals need to be kept in good repair to allow for proper cleaning and sanitizing, to
prevent pest infestation, and to promote the health and well-being of the animals.
To be corrected by October 24, 2016.

3.1(b)
HOUSING FACILITIES, GENERAL.
- The housing facility area down by the cabin where there are 5 dogs housed has plywood, trash, and other
discarded material within and around the enclosures.
- The housing facility for the 5 cats in the feed room in the barn has an accumulation of items to include trash, junk
and other items used for the barn animals. The enclosure and the area around the enclosure are covered in a layer
of dust and are not being kept neat and free of clutter.
- The housing facility for the 8 cats that are housed in the two rooms with all of the birds has an accumulation of
items to include trash, items used for birds, a dirty fish tank, items stored for other reasons and other discarded
material. The floor has areas where birds defecate that the cats could walk through.
The areas in which these dogs and cats are housed and the area around the dogs needs to be kept neat and free of
clutter to prevent pest infestation and disease hazards, prevent injury to the dogs and cats, and to promote the
cleanliness of the facility.
To be corrected by October 24, 2016.

HOUSING FACILITIES, GENERAL.
- The middle enclosure housing 2 dogs above the cabin had a piece of plywood with jagged edges and sharp points
exposed to the dogs. The enclosure on the east side housing 2 dogs had a post, pieces of wood, and other debris
in with the dogs with jagged edges and sharp points exposed to the dogs.
- The enclosure "up top" housing 2 wolf hybrids had a section of ground wire that was protruding up from the ground
exposing sharp points to the animals causing the potential for injury.
- The enclosure housing 2 dogs on the south side of the Syrian brown bears had a section of wire paneling with
sharp points protruding up from the ground causing the potential for injury.
The surfaces that are in contact with the dogs in these enclosures, and all enclosures housing dogs throughout the
facility, must be free of jagged edges and sharp points to prevent injury to the dogs.

COMPATIBLE GROUPING.
There are 8 cats that are intermingled in two areas that together have fifty plus birds of varying kinds. At least two of
the birds were observed to have feathers missing. Cats are predators to birds which could be contributing to the
feather loss.
These cats should not be housed in the same primary enclosure with any other species of animals unless they are
compatible.
To be corrected by October 10, 2016.

3.9(b)
FEEDING.
There was food for the 6 wolf hybrids "up top" on the ground. There were four buckets connected to the fencing
that were supposed to be used for feeding the animals but they had water in them and were not being used as food
receptacles as intended.
Food receptacles must be used for the wolf hybrids to minimize contamination by excreta and pests.

CLEANING, SANITIZATION, HOUSEKEEPING, AND PEST CONTROL.
The enclosure housing 2 cats and a wide array of birds had newspapers on the floor with piles of bird feces. In
addition, there was bird feed and other debris throughout the enclosure.
Excreta and food waste must be removed from primary enclosures daily to prevent soiling of the animals and to
reduce disease hazards, insects, pests, and odors.
This enclosure needs to be properly cleaned to promote the health and well-being of the animals within by October
10, 2016.

CLEANING, SANITIZATION, HOUSEKEEPING, AND PEST CONTROL.
There is a sheltered area provided for the 4 dogs over by the bears. The area where the dog food and other items
are stored was observed to be in disarray with an accumulation of trash, a white tarp and other debris. The items
were covered with a thick layer of dirt. The facility representative stated that they have had problems with mice in
the area.
These premises and all other premises on the property need to be kept clean and in good repair to protect the
animals from injury, to facilitate the husbandry practices required in this subpart, and to reduce or eliminate
breeding and living areas for rodents and other pests and vermin. The premises need to be kept free of
accumulation of trash, junk, waste products and discarded matter.

- There were pieces of green chain link fencing, meant to prevent the animals from digging, protruding from the
ground exposing the animals to risk for injury in the enclosure that was housing 2 Syrian brown bears.
- The catch up pen provided for the 2 younger Syrian brown bears had wires protruding into the pen exposing sharp
points to the bears. In the same enclosure, there were two trees that had tin around the trunks to prevent the
animals from climbing. The tin had been bent outward by the bears exposing sharp edges and points to the animals.
These sharp points have the potential to injure the animals.
These housing facilities need to be constructed of such material and of such strength as appropriate for the animals
involved. They also need to be maintained in good repair, to include all sharp points and edges being repaired or
replaced, to protect the animals from injury.

FACILITIES, GENERAL.
- The food storage area over by the sheep was observed to have loaves of bread sitting in a crate on the floor
accessible to the animals and birds on the property. There was trash, a tarp, buckets, an extension cord and other
debris throughout the area. The room was covered in a layer of dust. The bottom of the refrigerator had a layer of
reddish brown material.
- The food storage area for the meat had bones lying on the ground on the north side of the cooler that had been
there for a number of days per the facility representative. There were flies on and around the bones and in the
area. In addition, the chicken that was out to thaw inside the cooler is set up such that the juices drain from the
container the chicken is in down the end of the cooler and out on to the ground. The ground where the juices
dripped was covered in a green slimy material with flies swarming around. The inside of the cooler had a pile of
wood, trash, and other debris sitting next to the freezer causing the potential for vermin infestation.
- The food storage area in the barn was covered with a thick layer of dust, There was trash and other debris
throughout the room. There was a bag of feed and a barrel of alfalfa pellets that were open with flies throughout the
area.
Improperly stored food increases risks for food to become contaminated and cause animals to get sick. These food
storage areas need to adequately protect the food supplies from deterioration, molding, or contamination by vermin.

- The indoor portion of the enclosure housing 1 bobcat was observed to be covered in nuts, debris, insulation, and
other material. The enclosure has not been cleaned any time recently according the the facility representative. The
litter boxes were observed with feces in them and one of them appeared to have dumped out on the floor.
- The indoor portion of the enclosure housing 1 serval and 1 serval cross cat had an accumulation of feces and
other debris and had not been cleaned in a number of days.
- The enclosure housing 1 tree squirrel was observed to have a crate covered with dirt and debris. The facility
representative said that it was a low maintenance animal and that he only looked at it and provided it with water
about every three days. The enclosure had not been cleaned recently evident by the condition of the toys and other
items within the enclosure.
- The enclosure housing 2 bobcats had a litter box that was full and had not been cleaned in some time. The food
receptacle within the enclosure had food in it that was caked with a black material, covered with flies, straw, and
other debris. The facility representative stated that depending on who feeds determines if the food receptacle gets
cleaned prior to the next feeding or not.
- The enclosure housing the adult and baby chinchilla had an accumulation of feces in the litter box, throughout the
enclosure, and on the floor outside the enclosure indicating it had not been cleaned recently.
Excreta and other material need to be removed from primary enclosures as often as necessary to prevent
contamination of the animals and to promote their health and well-being.These enclosures need to be properly
cleaned to maintain the health and well-being of the animals and prevent disease hazards.

- The enclosure housing one bobcat had squirrels nesting in the ceiling as per the facility representative and the
evidence of acorns and pine cones observed between the cracks of the ceiling.
- The barn was observed to have a large number of pigeons living in it. There was feces on the fencing throughout
the barn and within the enclosures housing the sheep and goats.

2.131(b)(1) CRITICAL
HANDLING OF ANIMALS.
On October 3, 2016, at approximately 11:30pm, USDA was notified by the director of the sanctuary that Boomer, a
male tiger, was loose from his enclosure. The licensee stated that he had forgotten to close the guillotine door to
Boomer's enclosure when he went into the porta-storage unit to medicate Asia, a female tiger, who shared the
shelter with Boomer. The licensee was unable to get Boomer back in his enclosure safely. Local law enforcement
was notified and arrived on scene where they were able to get the licensee into their vehicle and then located the
loose tiger. Boomer attempted to leave his enclosure and was shot by local law enforcement. After being shot, the
tiger spun around and ran back into his enclosure where he died. The licensee was injured during the escape.
While loose, Boomer attacked a horned heifer and one American bison. The heifer had obvious injuries consistent
with claw marks or bite wounds on both of her rear legs and back end. The smaller bison was very stiff and reluctant
to move. These injured animals were examined by the attending veterinarian. A diagnosis was made and treatment
was administered to the animals.
The licensee must ensure that all animals are handled as expeditiously and carefully as possible to prevent trauma,
behavioral stress, unnecessary discomfort and physical harm.
Correction date: From this point forward.

* A female Bengal tiger, "Asia," has a red swollen, festering mass on her lower left gum. The mass appears to
protrude from her mouth and is, at a minimum, two inches by one inch with an unknown depth. The mass was
observed to be dripping blood. While observing the tiger, she hit the fence where the mass was and was observed
to jerk back in pain. She was observed to be licking frequently and rubbing her face with her paw.
The tiger was assessed by the attending veterinarian on September 15th, 2016 and it was documented that it may
be "possible neoplasia" and it would be "monitored and removed if appropriate." No treatment was administered at
that time. No record of monitoring was present.
Most of the food from the feeding on Tuesday, September 27th, 2016 was observed on the ground within the
enclosure and had not all been consumed. The tiger was observed having difficulty picking up the chicken and
eating when it tried to eat. The hip bones, spine, and ribs are visible on the tiger indicating the tiger is not
consuming enough calories due to inability or lack of food.
* A male African Lion, "Hercules", was observed to be extremely thin (Body Condition Score -BCS 1/5) with his
spine and hip bones showing. When he got up to walk, his legs seemed to be extremely stiff, and he was having
difficulty walking. When he walked his back legs were uncoordinated with exaggerated movements. His walk was
very staggered and unsteady. He was observed to stumble as he walked on multiple occasions. He only walked
about ten steps and then laid back down. Most of the food that had been fed the night before (September 27th) was
still on the ground within the enclosure and had not been consumed.
Masses can be painful and/or distressful to the animal and may lead to further medical conditions. A thin body
condition and difficulty walking can be indications of other medical problems occurring in the animal.
All exhibitors shall establish and maintain programs of adequate veterinary care that include the use of appropriate
methods to prevent, control, diagnose and treat diseases and injuries.

There were several animals throughout the facility that were observed to have other veterinary care related
problems as documented below:
* A female pot-bellied pig, "Tilly," roaming free near the barn, was observed to have difficulty walking. She was slow
moving. Her rear legs did not move properly. When she attempted to move forward her hind end side-stepped and
her rear feet crossed each other. She moved in a staggering motion and was observed falling down on multiple
occasions when she tried to turn around.
* A sheep, "Baby Sheep," was housed with "Marshmallow" in a stall in the barn. The animal care taker stated that
the sheep was observed to be throwing up green liquid. Depending on who was asked, the veterinarian was or was
not contacted. A document was provided showing that Baytril was to be administered to the sheep twice a day. The
attending veterinarian's office did not have any record for "Baby Sheep."
* A female goat has a hard mass on its right ear. The mass is round and slightly larger than a golf ball. It was firm,
covered with thinning hair and mildly red to purple in color.
* A male dog, "Skippy," housed with the coyote was observed to have an open wound under his right eye. The
wound is closely located to the outside corner of the eye and is approximately 2-3 cm in size. The wound itself is
moderately red and swollen with brown to black crusting around the open area.
* A male mountain lion, "Turbo," was observed to have a sore right front leg and is unable to get around his
enclosure easily. The animal is missing it's left front leg so when it stands it relies solely on its right front leg. When
the animal attempted to stand it did not put its foot flat on the ground and its right front leg was not fully extended.

As a result, he stood in a "hunched over" position. When the animal attempted to walk he still did not place the
bottom of his foot on the ground or fully extend his front right leg. He walked hunched over, in a "crawling" motion,
with his head down. The facility representative stated that the animal has a pressure sore on its right front leg. The
vet records show that the animal was assessed by the attending veterinarian on December 15, 2015 and
recommended euthanasia and then again on August 22, 2016 where euthanasia was recommended once again.

There were a number of animals throughout the sanctuary that were observed to be extremely thin:
* A female wolf hybrid, "Macey," housed down by the cabin was observed to be extremely thin (BCS 0.5/5) with her
hip bones and spine showing. The hip bones and spine were prominent. The ribs were moderately visible. The
abdomen had a "tucked up" appearance and appeared sunken in behind the ribs.
* A female hog, "Gertrude," housed by the barn was observed to have open sores on her sides. The size of the
sores varied in size from pinpoint to 2-3 cm. Some of the smaller sores were scabbed over but the majority of the
larger sores were open with brown to black crusting around the open areas. Some of the sores were oozing a
yellow-green discharge while others were bleeding. The hog was also extremely thin (BCS 0.5) with her back bone
and hips protruding. When the hog got up, she walked over to the fencing and started rubbing/itching her sides
along the fencing causing the sores to bleed/ooze more.
* A female sheep, "Marshmellow," housed in one of the stalls in the barn was observed to be emaciated (BCS 0.5/5)
with every bone in its body clearly visible. The ribs, hips, back-bone and head bones were protruding greatly and
the abdomen was sunken in behind the ribs. The sheep moves very little and spends a good deal of time standing
in place with its head in the corner. The sheep was evaluated on August 22nd, 2016 and the veterinarian diagnosed
moderate arthritis, vision loss, and generalized muscle loss. The veterinarian recommended deworming with
Fenbendazole and a diet increase/change. There are no records showing that the recommendations were followed.
There are no records showing that the veterinarian has been contacted since the evaluation in August.
* A male Grizzly bear, "Kody," was observed pacing non-stop in his enclosure. He appears thin (BCS 1.5/5) and his
hair coat appears poor. His hip bones, shoulders and spine were mildly protruding and his haircoat is dull and rough
in appearance.
* "Benny" and "Kiwani," two Syrian bears housed next to the other bears appear thin (BCS 2/5) with mildly
protruding hip bones, shoulders and spine.
* The female black bear, "Lilly," and the male black bear, "Grunt," were observed to be thin (BCS 2/5) with poor hair
coats. Their hip bones, shoulders and spine were mildly protruding and their haircoats were dull and rough in
appearance. Their flank appears to be sunken in.
* A male white tiger, "Raphael," was observed to be thin (BCS 2.5/5) with prominent hip bones and back bone.

was still on the ground in her enclosure and had not all been consumed. The attending veterinarian assessed the
tiger on August 22nd and recommended metacam be administered every other day. There was no metacam on the
property and the animal care takers present were not made aware that she should be getting medication.
Veterinary care issues, such as all those listed above can be painful or distressful to the animal and can lead to
further health complications. The animals listed above must be examined by a licensed veterinarian by 5:00 pm on
September 29, 2016 in order to ensure that an accurate diagnosis is obtained and an
appropriate treatment plan is developed and followed. This information, including the diagnosis, treatment and
resolution of the condition, must be documented and made available to the inspector upon request. The licensee
must ensure that all animals receive adequate veterinary care at all times.

Evidence of daily observation of the health and well being of every animal is not present. Ongoing chronic health
and well being issues have not been reported to the attending veterinarian in a timely and accurate manner.
No notations on any animal's condition are present, even with animals who had recognized health or well being
issues.
Animals with health conditions needing immediate or timely veterinary assessment and care were not reported to
the veterinarian prior to inspection. This included "Hercules" as described above.
The veterinarian had not been contacted for chronic health and well being issues such as weight loss, lameness,
lethargy and ill thrift. No monitoring or corrective plans were in place.
There was no evidence of administration of veterinary prescribed medication or treatments or follow up/monitoring
for the tigers "Shula" or "Asia" who had been evaluated by veterinarian.
There was a verbal report of an animal being administered medications without a prescription/treatment protocol
from a veterinarian - "Baby Sheep" housed with "Marshmallow" was reportedly being treated with Baytril®
(fluoroquinolone). There was no documentation that the animal had been seen by the veterinarian or that the
veterinarian prescribed the treatment.
Thinness, lameness, oral mass and other cited health issues appear NOT to be acute problems, but have
developed over a significant amount of time (>6 weeks) which should have allowed for proper and timely
assessment, treatment/intervention and reassessment by veterinarian.

medical conditions in the animals.
Most feeding records are not initialed by the person who performed task and appear to have been filled out all at
one time rather than daily. The facility representatives present on the inspection stated that feeding and watering of
animals was not always done.
The lack of daily observation records, the statements made by the facility representatives and the general
conditions of the animals show that there is inadequate daily observation and a lack of communication with the
veterinarian. Inadequate daily observation and communication with the veterinarian allows for chronic problems to
develop and acute health and well being issues to be overlooked which can lead to unnecessary pain, distress, and
suffering for the animals.
The licensee must conduct daily observations of all animals to assess their health and well-being. In addition, a
mechanism of direct and frequent communication is required so that timely and accurate information on problems of
animal health, behavior and well-being is conveyed to the attending veterinarian. In order to demonstrate
compliance, records should show that all animals were observed daily to assess their health and well being. In
addition, all communications with the veterinarian should be documented. These records should be maintained and
made available to the inspectors upon request. Correction of this should be immediate from this day forward.

In addition, the facility representatives present during the inspection stated that animals were not being fed
appropriately.
Insufficient, inadequate quality or inappropriate diets can cause serious illness in animals leading to health problems
in the animals to include death by starvation. Food provided to all animals at the facility shall be wholesome,
palatable, and free from contamination and of sufficient quantity and nutritive value to maintain all animals in good
health. The diet shall be prepared with consideration for the age, species, condition, size, and type of the animal.
Animals shall be fed at least once a day except as dictated by hibernation, veterinary treatment, normal fasts, or
other professionally accepted practices.
The diets for the above mentioned animals need to be assessed by the veterinarian and the operators of the facility.
An appropriate written diet and feeding schedule needs to be implemented to include detailed records on what is
being fed (including food item and weight), what time it is being fed, and who is providing the feed. These records
need to be maintained at the facility and made available for inspection upon next inspection.
To be corrected by noon, September 30, 2016.

EMPLOYEES.
It is evident by the number and type of non-compliant items that there is an inadequate number of knowledgeable
employees to carry out the level of husbandry and care required by the Animal Welfare regulations. During the
day-long inspection at the facility, numerous animals were observed to need veterinary care. Animals were
observed to be thin indicating they are not getting a sufficient diet and there are animals intermingled with animals
that are not compatible with each other. There were areas in the facility that needed maintenance and upkeep. In
addition, the animal caretakers who accompanied the inspector on inspection indicated that the "reliable people"
who were assigned to the different areas of the sanctuary had not shown up at the sanctuary to care for the animals
they were assigned to care for. Some of the people who were assigned to the areas were not showing up until later
in the day or even in the dark of night to feed the big cats and bears.
The volunteers who are currently at the sanctuary have little to no experience with large exotic animals and there is
not a program in place to train the volunteers who are helping or who will be helping in the future. In addition, the
turn over at the facility continues to be extremely high making it difficult to maintain sufficiently trained employees.
Failure to provide a sufficient number of adequately trained employees does not ensure that problems at the facility,

- Ram lamb was observed to have a scraped up left ear and his prepuce appeared to have a sore on it with some
black and soiled material around. The scrape and prepuce are conditions that, if not evaluated and treated per a
veterinarian's recommendations could become infected and remain painful. Ensure that Ram-lamb is seen by a
veterinarian and treated per their recommendations.
- Skippy or Skip,a neutered male dog, housed with a coyote named Wiley has an open lesion under his right eye
that is draining and open. He was treated for an abscess and tooth problem where the lesion is but last treatment
was documented on 8/31/16. The facility reported that some time ago tests were done to see why the area doesn't
heal but does not have the test results available. Skip must be treated per veterinarian's recommendations.

The following animals have not had treatment plans initiated. A veterinarian has visited the facility on 9/29/2016 to
make recommendations, however the recommended treatment plans have not been implemented and the facility
reports that implementation cannot begin until Monday 10/3/16 when the regular attending veterinarian returns.
Some animals are in poor body condition and need specific diet recommendations however, the facility reports
specific diet instructions cannot be obtained until Monday 10/3/16 from the regular attending veterinarian. These
animals do not have appropriate body condition to enter winter and maintain a quality life.
- Kody, a male Kodiak Grizzly, has a sunken in appearance behind his shoulders and in front of his hips indicating
that he is too thin. He has a coarse and dull hair coat as well indicating poor nutrition. The facility reports only
feeding produce and occasionally meat products.
- Raphael, a male white tiger, was observed to be stiff and walk tenderly in his hind legs. He is thin; his shoulder
blades and hip bones can be seen and his spine is visible.

- Hercules, a male African lion, approximately 19y old. He was observed to be weak and very reluctant to get up on
his feet. His hind legs appear very weak. The veterinarian that saw him yesterday recommended bloodwork to
check for health problems as soon as possible or to euthanize to alleviate his suffering.
- Shula, a female tiger, has had bowed back legs due to a bone/joint problem. She was prescribed Metacam
8/22/16 for pain management. The director was treating her and then left the facility for a week and nobody else
treated her while gone. The director reported that he treated her today. She also now has a swollen area on her
right elbow. She is thin—her hip bones are visible and her backbone is slightly visible.
- Asia, a female tiger, age unknown, has a red, swollen lesion on her lower left portion of her mouth. Some red
discharge was observed around the area. Her right front leg (forearm) has some swelling on it as well. Her tail is
coated in ‘burdock’ thorns as well indicating possible lack of grooming which is a sign that an animal is not feeling
well. She is also thin—her hip bones are clearly visible.
- Leonardo, a male lion (without mane); is emaciated, his shoulder blades are clearly visible, most of his spine is
visible, and his hip bones are clearly visible. He is housed with two tigers (Bailey and Buddashey) and each was
reportedly fed 20 lbs of chicken meat last night. Other large cats on the property that were reported fed last night
were observed to have had leftover chicken during the inspection. There was no leftover chicken seen in
Leonardo's enclosure during inspection. The veterinarian recommended yesterday to separate Leonardo to better
control his diet and to monitor his eating.
- Lily, a female black bear with grey on her face, is thin and has a poor haircoat. The areas behind her shoulders
and in front of her hips are sunken in, indicating that she is too thin for this time of the year with winter coming up.
- Grunt, a male black bear, is thin and has a poor haircoat. The areas behind his shoulders and in front of his hips
are sunken in, indicating that he is too thin for this time of the year with winter coming up.
- Holly, a female black bear, is thin and has a poor haircoat. The areas behind her shoulders and in front of her hips
are sunken in, indicating that she is too thin for this time of the year with winter coming up.
- Benny and Kiwani, male and female Syrian brown bears, observed to be thin; the areas behind their shoulders and
in front of their hips are sunken in indicating they are too thin.

- Macy, a female wolf hybrid, housed down by the cabin, is very thin. Her hip bones and shoulders can be seen
(even though her fur coat is thick), her rear leg muscles appear to be very thin and weak, and her abdomen has a
very tucked up appearance behind the ribs. She was observed to be pacing nervously, she had diarrhea, and also
retched and then vomitted a large amount of food during the inspection. The director said she gets nervous and
vomits and has diarrhea.
- Marshmellow,a male sheep, is extremely thin and reluctant to move. His hip bones and spine are easily seen. Staff
reported yesterday that he is constantly dripping urine, his prepuce area today was confirmed to have urine
dripping. The area around his prepuce was also soiled.
- Gertrude, a female hog is thin and has scabbed sores and moist sores (about half dollar-sized) spread out on both
sides of her body. Her shoulder blades, jaw bones, hip bone and spine are all visible and the area in front of her
hips is sunken in.
- Baby sheep, has had a history of regurgitating green rumen material. Baby sheep had been prescribed Baytril, the
last documented treatment was 9/22. The veterinarian has recommended further workup and bloodwork or
euthanasia.
- Ballsy or ‘Big balls’ (named by facility), a vasectomized male sheep, was seen limping and and his testicles are
outwardly enlarged. The veterinarian examined him and found that the left testicle was twice the size of the right
and are firm and that surgery (complete castration) is recommended.
- Tilly, a female potbelly pig, is unstable on her hind legs and has trouble walking. She walks a short distance and
then her hind end appears to give out and she lays down. The veterinarian has recommended radiographs (x-rays)
to further decide treatment.
- Turbo, a mountain lion, has had its left front leg amputated years ago per facility. It has been recommended by
the attending veterinarian to have her euthanized two previous times (12/15/15) and (8/22/16) due to mobility
concerns. The veterinarian that examined Turbo yesterday also had concerns of mobility and recommended
euthanasia.
These direct non-compliances need veterinary treatment and thin animals need close veterinary oversight on their
diets. These serious non-compliances are signs of suffering in these animals. To alleviate animal suffering;

APHIS officials observed no fewer than 12 carnivores at the facility exhibiting signs of poor body condition indicative
of a lack of food of a sufficient quantity and nutritive value to maintain all animals in good: "Kody" (male Kodiak
grizzly bear); "Benny" (male Syrian bear); "Kiwani" (female Syrian bear); "Lilly" (female black bear);"Grunt" (male
black bear); "Holly" (female black bear); "Raphael" (male white tiger); "Shula" (female Bengal tiger); "Hercules"
(male African lion); "Asia" (female Bengal tiger); "Leonardo" (male African lion); and "Macey" (female wolf hybrid).
The licensee represented to APHIS officials that he typically feeds these animals every-other-day, and Saturday
(October 1, 2016) is a scheduled feed day for the animals. The licensee has approximately 500 pounds of chicken
leg quarters and other miscellaneous meat products on hand to feed the animals, and stated additional food
supplies (chicken) would not be available for pick-up until Monday. The facility’s feeding protocol (dated January
2013), however, states the facility requires over 800 pounds of meat per feeding for the animals. The facilities’
feeding plan does not consider the animals’ current poor body condition, and the facility does not have adequate
food supplies on hand to meet the facility’s minimal food needs (as described in the January 2013 plan).
APHIS officials observed no fewer than two additional animals exhibiting signs of poor body condition indicative of a
lack of food of a sufficient quantity and nutritive value to maintain all animals in good: "Gertrude" (Female hog
-housed at the barn) and "Marshmallow" (Female sheep - housed at the barn Insufficient). Inadequate quality or
inappropriate diets can cause serious illness in animals leading to health problems in the animals to include death
by starvation.
The regulations provide that: “The food shall be wholesome, palatable, and free from contamination and of sufficient
quantity and nutritive value to maintain all animals in good health. The diet shall be prepared with consideration for
the age, species, condition, size, and type of the animal. Animals shall be fed at least once a day except as dictated
by hibernation, veterinary treatment, normal fasts, or other professionally accepted practices.”
The diets for the above mentioned animals must be assessed with consideration for the age, species, condition,
size, and type of the animals. The facility must demonstrate it is able to provide food to the animals of sufficient
quantity and nutritive value to maintain all animals in good health. To be corrected by 1pm on Monday, October 3,
2016.
