This is PETA warfare.

This link is to the story that says a PETA informant worked at the facility for seven months to gather information that led to the raid.

http://www.star-telegram.com/local/story/1834581.html

There is nothing that states whether the dead animals were feeder rats in a freezer or not. There is nothing that states the animals held without food and water for a week were brumating snakes or not. Nothing to state if there were animals that arrived in shipping that may have arrived dead (it’s pretty cold right now in some places). The animals should never be removed from a facility that is in the business of dealing with them to another location during a snow storm. How many of these animals are going to die directly as a result of this raid? I wonder if all cage cleaning stopped once the raid began and how many animals were denied the maintenance they would have received that very day because of the raid? This was started from a PETA informant who got a job at the facility and witnessed thousands of animal deaths. I wonder if feeding a live fish to a turtle is a death? Feeding a fruit fly to a lizard? A meal worm? Will we ever hear what actually happened here? What happens if the biased testimony from the undercover PETA informant gets thrown out? Has there been any cruelty or anything illegal going on at all?


Go to this link and see a video from the raid and read some of the comments.
