Title: It's difficult to understand why the vet isn't held accountable
Post by: Middle Child on February 14, 2018, 05:04:08 PM
Since it is ILLEGAL in the USA to declaw big cats.  And yet the vet (not named) admits to doing 5 (the original story said 16) in 2017.

The Starks have been cited over and over for violations, but they keep raking in the big bucks while breeding and exploiting and mistreating wild animals.

And they pretend they are some sort of rescue, calling themselves 'Wildlife in Need" but they are a despicable roadside zoo.

People who abuse animals are the lowest of the low.  And the Starks and anyone who works for them are included in that.

The laws just aren't strict enough.
