A report just released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) reveals that dogs were missing hair—a potential indication of underlying illness—or left with muddy drinking water and kept amid their own feces at a breeding facility operated by Lyndal Swartzentruber near Pocahontas. In response, PETA rushed a letter today to Third Judicial District Prosecuting Attorney Devon Holder asking him to investigate and file applicable charges against those responsible for the neglect. According to the report, on August 1 a USDA inspector found that a bichon frisé named Prissy was missing hair on her back and sides and that her face, body, and feet had matted fur—a painful condition that can lead to skin infections and other health problems. A Yorkshire terrier was also missing hair around both her eyes and showed signs of discomfort in brighter light. Additionally, the inspector documented muddy, “no longer potable” water in a bowl with a “dark coating of grime,” while the wire floors of many dog enclosures were covered in “an excessive amount of feces” and “other debris.”
