The principal investigator did not provide a complete written narrative description of the methods and sources used to consider alternatives to all procedures that may cause more than momentary or slight pain or distress to the animals in Protocols SW13M393, SW14M181, and RB14M79. In protocol RB14M79 the method chosen was "considered to be a classic method" and no alternatives were discussed despite their existence. The methods must be clearly shown to be sufficient and identified alternatives must be discussed to assure the IACUC has the information needed to assure the welfare of the animals. Correct: This point forward An exit interview was conducted with facility representatives and the IACUC Chair. Additional Inspectors Mcfadden Gloria, Veterinary Medical Officer

Social grouping. There were two sub-adult female macaques housed singly at the time of inspection. They had previously been housed together and had been deemed compatible. During a housing change 2 weeks ago they were separated into individual enclosures. They were not under a veterinary or IACUC exemption from the social housing requirement. The facility must ensure that the social needs of non-human primates known to exist in social groups in nature are provided for the health and well-being of the animals. Correct by 27-Aug-2014 An exit briefing was conducted with the Director of Regulatory Compliance at the time of inspection.

The Dalmatian Pen: The entrance floor of the shelter has torn carpet. The dog has been chewing and shredding the rug. Primary enclosures for dogs have to be designed and constructed of suitable materials so that they are structurally sound and will not potentially create a health hazard. The enclosure shall be kept in good repair. A program of monitoring and repairing primary enclosures needs to be created. ************** To be corrected by: September 15, 2014

Licensee stated that euthanasia by gunshot was the routine form of euthanasia for the facility. Licensee also said that they were under the impression from their veterinarian, that it was acceptable and he had written it on the old Program of Veterinary Care, which the inspector did not see. The current Program of Veterinary Care states that a lethal injection by the veterinarian is the facilities routine form of euthanasia. The inspector explained to licensee that gunshot is an unacceptable form of routine euthanasia. Euthanasia by gunshot can cause unnecessary pain and distress to the dog. According to the 2013 AVMA (American Veterinary Medical Association) Guidelines for the Euthanasia of Animals, gunshot is not an acceptable routine form of euthanasia for dogs. The licensee agreed to stop using gunshot and will use lethal injection by veterinarian as the facilities routine form of euthanasia. Correction date: Immediately There are multiple bottles and vials of expired medications and vaccinations stored in a small refrigerator along with vaccinations for the dogs that are still of an acceptable date. Expired medications may lose their effectiveness and cause the health of the dogs to suffer. All expired medications should be discarded or removed so they will not be used on the dogs. Correction date: 08/25/14

In the indoor enclosure that houses three english springer spaniels, there is a broken piece of rusty metal along the floor that is twisted upward and at the level of the dogs. The sharp edges of the piece of metal are an injury hazard to the dogs. The broken piece of metal needs to be removed or altered in a way that it will not cause injury to the dogs. Correct by 08/27/14

***Three tigers were being exhibited to the public by a person (CID# 7860) whose USDA license has been revoked. The individual stated to the APHIS VMO's that he gives talks and presentations about the tigers, to the public while standing in front of and around the enclosure housing the tigers. Any person whose license has been revoked is not allowed to exhibit, transport, deliver for transportation, buy, or sell any animal. Additional Inspectors Heezen Dee, Veterinary Medical Officer

In the outdoor enclosure housing a single spider monkey "Ricky" the metal roof surface had an area of rust which had worn through the surface and created a hole with sharp edges This area had been patched with two pieces of sheet metal which were loosely attached creating gaps and exposed sharp edges. This creates a risk of entrapment for the enclosed animal, as well as a risk of injury from the sharp edges. The facility must repair or replace this section, and must maintain metal surfaces throughout the facility to protect the welfare of the animals.

- In the rear of the park, an enclosure containing 4 wolves has a grate floor that is exposed along three of the sides. This exposed grate flooring has large 4 inch holes that create a possible injury threat to the enclosed animals. Licensee needs to remove the grating or replace dirt on top of the grate to ensure the animals are safely contained and protected from potential injury. - In a pen in the rear of tha park containing tigers there is an area in the lower hinge side of the holding pen gate that has rusted through. Facilities need to be maintained in good repair. Licensee must repair or replace this gate. - In the rear of the park in the fence panel between cages 120 and 125 there is a pole that has significant rust present, to a degree that may affect the structural strength of the pole. Licensee needs to repair or replace this pole to ensure the animals are safely contained and protected from potential injury.

- A tiger enclosure in the back portion of the park contained rancid meat on the floor of enclosure. At least one piece of the meat was covered with numerous maggots. Food not consumed must be removed from primary enclosures as often as necessary to prevent contamination of the animals contained therein and to minimize disease hazards and to reduce odors. - There was a large piece of meat draped over the enclosure fence in a tiger enclosure in the front part of the park and a piece of old meat trapped in the feed chute in a tiger enclosure that was next to the camel enclosure. Food not consumed must be removed from primary enclosures as often as necessary to prevent contamination of the animals contained therein and to minimize disease hazards and to reduce odors. - Numerous ants were observed on the pipe supports and in the feed chute in the large tiger arena enclosure. There was a piece of rancid meat stuck in the feed chute that was infested with ants. Ants can sting and cause injury to the enclosed animal. They can also contaminate food,water and living areas. Inspection and exit interview conducted with facility personnel. Additional Inspectors Tygart Michael, Supervisory Animal Care Specialist

The issue with unsealed wood continues with the three domestic dog-hybrids (three wolf-dog hybrid and two coyote-dog hybrids) that continue to be housed in a sheltered enclosure towards the bear enclosure. The sheltered portion of the primary enclosure housing these dogs is constructed of unsealed wood which is not impervious to water with support posts that have been chewed. The dirt floors under the sheltered portion of the enclosure do not have access to direct sunlight and can not be sanitized. Walls and flooring constructed of unsealed wood and dirt which are permeable to moisture provide an optimal area for bacterial and fungal growth both of which can cause disease in the dogs housed in these enclosures. Ultimately the failure to construct dog enclosures out of surfaces that are impervious to moisture results in an inability to properly clean and sanitize the primary enclosures and creates an increased risk of disease and illness. The new enclosures are still being scheduled for completion that will house all wolf-dog and wolf-coyote hybrids according to AWA standards and regulations. The licensee advised that the current enclosures will remain as is until the animals are moved to the new enclosures. Failure to follow through with the planned repairs or new buildings that meet the AWA standards and regulations will cause the animals to continue to be housed in a structure that is not impervious to moisture and can not be sanitized due to chewed wood or unsealed cement.

There are 3 original enclosures from the last inspection that are still in violation due to fencing being less than 12 feet high, as construction of the new enclosures are still in the planning process. The three large felid enclosures contain a total of 2 Tigers and 2 Lion and 1 dog. The remaining three affected enclosures that need correction are: Tiger Pen 4: contains one Tiger referred to as Nahandi Tiger Pen 5: contains one Tiger referred to as Glacier and one lion known Ungowwa Lion Pen 1: contains one male lion referred to as Cheif and Bandit(dog) None of these remaining pens have any angled top fencing (kick-in) or any species appropriate high tensile smooth electrical wire to provide additional deterrents for escape. In the Bear enclosure (four adult bears) with the pond, there were still several broken pieces of a wooden walkway along the fence with protruding nails(1-2inches) that was moved from the worn pathway into the grass along side of it. The bear pacing near the fence was avoiding the grass area where the wood with nails way lying, however it still poses a potential for injury as now the nails are not as well seen by the animals. Exposed nails and broken pieces of wood can be sources of injury and infection if the regulated animals scratch or puncture themselves on the materials. The reported enclosures(Tiger 4,5 and Lion 1) need to be built according to standards and regulation as currently they are not tall enough to properly contain the animals as these adult tigers could easily jump/climb out of the enclosure if they were motivated to do so. An escape places the animal's life in jeopardy and may endanger the safety of the public. All broken pieces of wooden material with exposed nails in the enclosure shall be removed and/or repaired to prevent any injuries to the regulated animals.

1.There is a male Japanese Chin type dog approximately 10 years of age named 'Ki Jack' that does not have official identification. The dog has an accumulation of greenish-colored mucus covering both eyes. Not having clear vision can cause discomfort and affect the health and well being of the dog. The presence of eye discharge can be a sign of injury, infection or other potentially painful veterinary medical conditions. The potential for injury exists if the dog is not able to see clearly. The dog was also observed having matted hair on his abdomen. The matted hair area is approximately 1 inch wide and 4 inches long. Excessive matting causes pain and discomfort to the animal. In addition, matting can foster skin infections and can hinder the animal's ability to move of defecate normally. The licensee needs to remove the matted fur on the dog. As part of the facility's program of veterinary care, the licensee must establish and follow a program of regular coat maintenance for all of the dogs to prevent the development of excessive matting. On the dog's nose there is a crusty appearance of scabbing caused by numerous fly bites. Fly bites to the nose can lead to open sores which can cause further disease risks or infection for the dog. Left untreated it could delay the healing process affecting the health and well being for the dog. Fly bites need to receive veterinary care to prevent further fly biting and then the nose can start to heal. 2. There is a tan colored male cocker spaniel named ' Poo Bear' with no official identification. The dog has an open wound on the back of its neck. The wound is approximately 3.5 inches in length and 1.5 inches wide. There is dried blood on the wound and around the edges in the fur coat. The cause of this injury is unknown. The open wound can be painful causing discomfort and could lead to the spread of infection which affects the health and well being of the dog. Around the dog's nose there is a sore caused by fly bites that is open and areas where the wound is starting to appear dried and crusty. Pieces of fur are stuck to the moist portions of the wound. Fly bites to the nose can lead to open sores which can cause further disease risks or infection for the dog. Left untreated it could delay the healing process affecting the health and well being for the dog. Fly bites need to receive veterinary care to prevent further fly biting and then the nose can start to heal. 3. There is a male golden retriever named 'Henry James' with an open wound approximately 3 inches in diameter on top of its left ear. The wound appears moist with a bright red and pink color. There is a hairless area outlining the wound. The licensee believes a pickup camper shell that blew into the enclosure during a storm struck the dog causing the wound. The open wound can be painful causing discomfort and could lead to the spread of infection which affects the health and well being of the dog. *The licensee must have the above animals examined by a veterinarian to obtain an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan. The outcome of these consultations must be documented and provided to the inspector upon request. To be corrected by: August 29, 2014.

A Golden Retriever is in an enclosure with cattle panels that allow the dog to stick its head through the openings on the west side. The dog could possibly get its head caught and cause an injury. The panels need to be replaced or modified so the openings are small enough so the dog cannot stick its head through the openings. The enclosures must contain the animal securely and restrict other animals from entering. To be corrected by: September 5, 2014.

1. The northwest building containing golden retrievers has a metal dog door on the west end that has been chewed by a dog and has a sharp point. 2. The far northwest red and white housing facility has outdoor pens constructed of metal panels. On these panels there are areas that have completely rusted through the material. The rusted areas have sharp points. 3. The southwest housing facility has outdoor chain link kennels. On the bottom right of one of the gates there is an area that has rusted completely through the metal pipe frame. This has created a sharp point that the dogs can come into contact with. *The potiential for injury exists if the dogs come into contact with the sharp points. The licensee must ensure that all metal surfaces be maintained in a manner so there are no sharp points. To be corrected by: August 29, 2014

1. Inside the far northwest red and white building there is a bird nest above an enclosure containing one dog. Bird droppings are on the floor, on the sides of the enclosure and on the food receptacle. 2. In the north center building containing four dogs there are two bird nests. There is an accumulation of bird droppings in the bedding area. 3. Inside the barn on the east side there is a bird nest above an enclosure with one dog. There are bird droppings on the side of the walls and in the bedding area. *Surfaces caked with bird droppings cannot be readily cleaned and sanitized. The licensee must establish an effective program of bird control and ensure all bird droppings are removed from the kennel area for the health and well being of the dogs.

Adequate Veterinary Care A female Corgi (microchip number 003814847) had excessively long nails to the point that they were beginning to curl. Overgrown nails can result in abnormal gait, broken nails or lameness. Trim the nails of this dog and maintain appropriate methods of care such as regular nail trims to prevent them from being overgrown and to provide for the dogs' overall health and well-being. A male Poodle (microchip number 087340601) was observed to have soaked fur around its mouth. Closer inspection revealed that a dark brown material was adhered to the surface of all the teeth. The upper and lower cheek and canine teeth had a gray colored creamy material along the gum line extending down into the spaces between the teeth. The upper left cheek teeth had a visible separation between the gums and the teeth. Failure to properly identify and treat dental health issues can lead to a poor state of health and nutrition by causing pain or leading to loose teeth, abscesses, and bone loss or infection. This dog must be examined by the attending veterinarian to receive veterinary care for this dental health issue. Documentation must be maintained by the licensee on the veterinary exam and treatment provided to this dog.

Condition and site There is a large round fan used for ventilation hanging from the ceiling on the left hand side of the housing facility as well as a ventilation fan on the ceiling in the middle of the building that both have a significant accumulation of animal hair, dust, cobwebs, and brown matter covering them. The enclosures under and around the large round fan have the same buildup on the tops of the wire enclosures. Areas around and in the housing area that are not maintained, cleaned and sanitized on a regular basis can harbor insects or bacteria, and can contaminate food or water supplies or cause animals to become ill. Soiled areas around and in the housing must be maintained, cleaned, sanitized, or replaced in order to satisfy husbandry requirements. Correct by 8/23/2014

(c) Surfaces--(3) Cleaning. An accumulation of hair, and excreta is built up in the large sheltered exercise pen currently occupied by 2 Corgis and one large ground enclosure that was occupied by 1 Corgi at the beginning of the inspection but was moved during the inspection. Additionally, the ground enclosures had an excessive accumulation of a brown organic matter smeared on the white plastic side walls. Inadequate cleaning can increase disease hazards, odors, pests and soiling of the animals. Remove waste from the enclosures and maintain daily.

Additional requirements for dogs--Space. One enclosure housing two adult dogs did not provide the minimum amount of floor space required. The enclosure measured 24 inches by 36 inches with food and water receptacles taking up .5 square feet of space and therefore providing a total of 5.5 square feet of floor space. The dogs measured 16 inches and 18.5 inches in length. These dogs housed together require a total of 7.53 square feet of floor space and therefore were short 2.03 square feet of floor space. Inadequate space could affect the comfort of the dogs and limits opportunity for exercise. Provide these dogs with the required minimum amount of floor space to ensure their health and well-being. Correct by 8/23/2014. Dog numbers 087340601, 003812574, 004039873, 072551323 and 108367547 as documented under 2.40(b)(2) on the previous inspection report dated April 23, 2014 have been addressed. Inspection and exit interview were conducted with the owner. Additional Inspectors Cox Brenton, Animal Care Inspector

Surfaces In the garage, containing the cat enclosures, there is excessive rust throughout the chain link fencing of the 11 cat enclosures. There is excessive rust at the bottom of the chain link posts and in the bottom corners of each enclosure. All areas that come in contact with the animals must be free of excessive rust that affects the sanitation and structural strength of the surfaces. To be corrected by November 20, 2014

Resting Surfaces In the garage, containing the cat kennels, the paint has chipped away exposing the wood surface to moisture on the top and edges of the resting surface in kennel 5 containing three adult cats. The resting surfaces need to be impervious to moisture and be easily cleaned and sanitized when soiled or worn. To be corrected by November 20, 2014. Inspection and exit interview was conducted by APHIS personnel with facility representative.

In the primary enclosures for the animals the floors and toilets have missing and chipped paint in some areas. Paint is worn off of walls and window frames. The chain-link fencing in the patio door opening in Koko's enclosure is missing paint, and has some rust. Surfaces of housing facilities--including houses, dens, and other furniture-type fixtures and objects within the facility--that cannot be readily cleaned and sanitized, must be replaced when worn or soiled. All surfaces must be maintained and/or replaced on a regular basis. Items that are worn or potentially hazardous should be discarded. Failure to maintain and/or replace surfaces and items in the enclosure can impede cleaning, create hazards, and otherwise put the health and well-being of the animals at risk.

2.40 (b)(2) Junior ID # 31, an orange and white adult cat was lethargic, with labored breathing had a dark dried substance crusted around his nose, eyes and on his chest. Additionally, he had matted hair and feces on his buttocks. The licensee obtained a diagnosis and written treatment plan for the cat on July 30, 2014. The treatment plan listed a 14 day protocol for antibiotics to have been completed by August 13, 2014. The licensee stated that she had administered 1 1/2 cc of Batril on August 19, 2014 after which the cat was reported to seize. No emergency care was attempted. There are no label directions or written guidance from a licensed veterinarian on the use of Baytril in this cat. The complete cure of an infection is crucial to prevent recurrence and spread of disease and to provide for the general health and well being of the animals at the facility. * At 4:30pm the licensee was given verbal instructions that the animal should be provided emergency vet care within 4 1/2 hours or by 9pm the same day. A written record of treatment from the licensed veterinarian should be made available during the next inspection.

(c) Surfaces (3) Cleaning The white, plastic panels that line 3 sides of the enclosures still have brown and yellow areas of grime on their surface. Adequate cleaning and sanitizing is a crucial aspect of animal husbandry which helps to prevent disease and provide for the health of the animals. The licensee shall clean the hard surfaces in contact with the animals daily and sanitize routinely to prevent accumulation of excreta and reduce disease hazards. This inspection was conducted with the licensee. An exit briefing was conducted at the close of the inspection. Inspectors attempted to deliver this report at 7:30pm on August 20, 2014 and again at 9:30am-10:15am on August 21, 2014. Inspectors knocked on the doors of both the licensee's residence and the animal facility, as well as calling the licensee twice during each attempt and leaving voice messages. "King Kong was identified during the previous inspection with respiratory illness. He is currently receiving treatment as prescribed in the protocol provided by the attending veterinarian and the licensee is recording these treatments on his cage card."Doc" ID # 36 has completed his treatment and shows no signs of illness. Additional Inspectors Campitelli D.V.M Kathryn, Veterinary Medical Officer

* Two Saint Bernard dogs have open wounds, with flies, on their noses. Both dogs, an approximately nine year old female (not identified) named (cid:28)Freckles(cid:29) and an approximately four year old female (not identified) named (cid:28)Beckles(cid:29) have open wounds on their muzzles, right before the wet hairless surface around the nostrils. The wounds are raw, moist, pink in color with areas of bright red color. These wounds can be painful and irritating for the dogs. Although the owner mentioned that they purchased a product to treat the wounds from the feed store, there was no documentation or communication with a veterinarian about an appropriate medication and treatment plan. The kennel operator may have to move these dogs into an area that is free from flies until the healing is complete. The owner must have these two dogs examined by a veterinarian to help get these open wounds healed, set up a program of treatment for both dogs and administer the appropriate medication. The kennel operator must provide a treatment record and or record of consultation with the veterinarian upon request during the next inspection. Proper treatment will minimize the pain and irritation for the dogs. To be corrected by, 22-August-2014.

* The APHIS form 7005 (Dogs on Hand) is incomplete and inaccurate. Block A. does not contain the identification of the dogs listed. Block I. does not have complete addresses for eight dogs from where they were purchased or acquired. Complete and accurate records must be kept in order to ensure that each animal's identity can be known with certainty and to facilitate tracking/tracing of dogs. To be corrected by, 15-September-2014.

* Three dog doorways, inside the old kennel building, housing eight adult dogs, have an excessive accumulation of brown grime on the surfaces around the doorways. * The whelping enclosure, housing three adult dogs and 21 puppies, has an excessive accumulation of soiled straw and waste on the floor. The soiled straw is moist in areas and mixed with waste. * The north end enclosure for the new kennel, housing one adult dog, has an accumulation brown grime on walls of the enclosure. These mentioned surfaces indicate that daily spot-cleaning is not happening. Without proper cleaning and sanitization of the surfaces, this can increase the disease potential for the dogs. All surfaces must be spot-cleaned daily and sanitized as often as necessary. This will prevent an accumulation of waste and reduce the disease hazards for the dogs.

* There were numerous flies around all the enclosures that housed the dogs. Two Saint Bernards had open wounds with several flies on and around the wounds. There was no fly prevention for the flies. The flies can irritate the dogs and cause open wounds on the dogs. A fly prevention program is needed to protect health and well-being of the 25 adult dogs and 28 puppies from the flies. To be corrected by, 26-August-2014. This inspection and exit interview was conducted with the facility representative. This inspection report will be sent both regular and certified mail.

***There was a brown rabbit that was reluctant to move and looked lethargic. When the rabbit moved it stumbled to the right. The right ear was drooping and had a reddish brown flaky debris that was in the lower half of the ear which the owner did not notice prior to the inspection. The attending veterinarian needs to be contacted and consulted immediately and veterinarian care should be provided as soon as possible. There should be a daily observation made of all animals to assess their health and well-being. There should be a direct and frequent communication of timely and accurate information on problems of animal health, behavior, and well-being to the attending veterinarian.

***All of the rabbits were observed panting and stretched out in their cages reluctant to move. The heat index was 104.7 degrees F using the kestrel at approximately 6:00 pm. There was also one lethargic rabbit that appeared to be in distress that was subjected to these conditions. Each cage had a little fan above it to keep the animals cool but this was insufficient in improving the climatic conditions. When climatic conditions present a threat to an animal's health or well-being, appropriate measures must be taken to alleviate the impact of those conditions. An animal may never be subjected to any combination of temperature, humidity, and time that is detrimental to the animal's health or well-being, taking into consideration such factors as the animal's age, species, breed, overall health status, and acclimation.

A strong odor of ammonia was noted upon entry into the rabbit room . The odor caused irritation to eye/nose of both USDA inspectors and may cause the same irritation to the animals airways.There is concern that the ventilation system may not be adequate for the number of animals ( 65 rabbits ) and the size of the room . A method must be developed to prevent a build up of ammonia to provide for the health and comfort of the animals. CORRECT BY : 8-28-14 The inspection and exit briefing was conducted with VP for Research Additional Inspectors Tomlinson Simone, Veterinary Medical Officer

* The automatic watering receptacle in the old pig pen kennel or north kennel, housing two adult dogs, metal surface is excessively rusty. The metal surface is rusted to the point there is flaking. * The metal panel divider, for the little kennel housing four adult dogs, is excessively rusty. The metal pipe framing along the bottom of the divider is corroded away in areas. * The western most enclosure in the main kennel, housing two adult dogs, has metal pipe framing for the panel fencing that is excessively rusty. The excessively rusty surface is pitting in areas. These excessively rusted and flaking metal surfaces cannot be properly cleaned and sanitized. The disease hazards can increase for the dogs because of improper cleaning and sanitization. The structural of the surface is also affected. This can allow for dogs to fight under the metal piped framed panel dividers when corroded away. The metal frame panel fencing, dividers and automatic watering receptacle must be free of excessive rust that prevents required cleaning and sanitization. These metal surfaces must be treated or replaced. Metal surfaces that can be properly cleaned and sanitized will reduce the disease hazards for the dogs. Structurally sound metal framed panels will keep the dogs secure.

* The inside and front wall of the little kennel building, housing four adult dogs, has an accumulation of brown grime on the plastic and tin surfaces. This indicates that daily spot-cleaning and frequent sanitization is not taking place. Improper cleaning and sanitization can increase the disease hazards for the four dogs. Hard surfaces must be spot-cleaned daily to prevent accumulation of excreta and grime. Required cleaning and sanitization will reduce disease hazards for the dogs.

* The old pig pen kennel (north kennel), housing two adult dogs, has approximately ½ to ¼ inch wide by 1 to 4 foot long cracks in the concrete flooring. Inside the cracks, there is brown to black waste and or debris. The large cracks in the concrete with waste and debris indicate the concrete flooring is not impervious to moisture. The concrete flooring for the outdoor enclosures is worn. The large cracks prevent the concrete flooring from being readily cleaned and sanitized. Therefore, this can cause disease hazards for the dogs housed in the enclosures. Concrete flooring that is worn with large cracks must be repaired or replaced. The concrete flooring must be impervious to moisture for required cleaning and sanitization. Proper cleaning and sanitization will reduce disease hazards for the dogs.

***The Animal Care Regional Director did not receive an itinerary from the licensee prior to this overnight travel. One of the attendants stated to APHIS VMO's that they arrived to the fair approximately 1 week ago. The licensee must submit an itinerary to the Regional Director no fewer than 2 days in advance of travel whenever the animals will be exhibited at a location other than the licensee's approved site(s) and whenever that travel extends overnight. The itinerary shall contain complete and accurate information concerning the whereabouts of any animal intended for exhibition at any location other than the person's approved site.

All watering receptacles shall be sanitized when dirty..... At least 4 water bottles had a dark layer of algae on the inside. Water bottles must be sanitized when dirty. Water bottles must be cleaned at least every two weeks or as often as needed to maintain them clean. Dirty water bottles can cause many animals to get sick. Clean water bottles as a routine practice, minimally every 2 weeks but more often if they are dirty. Correct by 8-21-14.

Throughout the animal compound and in animal areas there is various debris laying on the ground. Items such as old fencing material, plastic bottles and baling twine needs to be picked up and disposed of properly Leaving these items where the animals could ingest them or get tangled up in them could cause harm to the animal. Provision shall be made for the removal and disposal of trash and debris. Correct by: 08-21-14.

Section 2.126(b) - Access and inspection of records and property: A responsible adult was not available to accompany APHIS Officials during the inspection process at 3 pm on 08/20/2014.
