People will know that they have to hide injured and suffering animals and clean up because inspectors are coming in three days.
LAURA GOLDMAN: ‘The USDA announced it plans to launch a pilot program that will warn puppy mills, research laboratories, zoos and other entities regulated by the Animal Welfare Act (AWA) that they are going to be inspected, giving these facilities plenty of time to temporarily hide sick or dying animals and to clean up or conceal possibly terrible conditions… The letter said the pilot program would include “certain situations involving certain facilities” but did not provide further details.
The USDA will “blend” the announced inspections with the surprise ones they’ve been conducting for decades… It was written by Bernadette Juarez, deputy administrator of animal care at the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), which enforces the AWA… Animal protection groups, of course, think announced inspections are a terrible idea… John Goodwin, senior director of the Humane Society of the United States… stated: “There is some perverse logic going on there, in that people [will] know that they have to hide injured and suffering animals and clean up because inspectors are coming in three days”.’ SOURCE…
