kamuzz Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 http://www.9wsyr.com/mostpopular/story/Dog...Zr2yRdg6Bw.cspx The article says: Romulus, Seneca County (WSYR-TV) - A dog breeder in the Seneca County Town of Romulus has admitted to federal inspectors that he killed more than 90 dogs through carbon monoxide poisoning. He trapped the animals in a whelping box and stuck an exhaust pipe inside. It appears that many of the animals at the kennel had a disease called Brucella, which would render them basically useless for breading without expensive antibiotics. According to a USDA report, David Yoder, owner of Black Diamond Acres, said he was trying to "de-populate" his kennel. The report describes Yoder's method of euthanizing the dogs in detail. "The licensee utilized a wood whelping box and fitted the opening with a metal door and a small hole that was attached to an exhaust pipe," the report reads. "The pipe was attached to a 3 horse power engine used around the farm. The engine was then turned on and a mixture of fumes from the exhaust of the vehicle with inadequate concentrations of gas was piped into the whelping box containing 5 or 6 dogs for mass euthanasia." The report also cites that the dogs' stress levels and discomfort were not monitored. Also, "the dogs were put into the whelping boxes and euthanized in view of the main kennel dogs." New York State law explicitly prohibits this method of euthanizing dogs, saying, "No person shall euthanize a dog or cat by gas omitted from an engine exhaust." By law, a licensed veterinarian needs to euthanize the dogs humanly if that's the choice of the breeder. Yoder is not a licensed veterinarian. The Seneca County Sheriff says his office is investigating the criminal aspect of this case, but has not yet decided to file charges. David Yoder left the building while he was putting the dogs down because the fumes were apparently giving him a headache. According to this report, he used a stethoscope to check for a heartbeat before burying the 78 dogs and 15 puppies. Most of the animals were small breeds like terriers and poodles. The USDA says the inspectors' findings have now launched a larger, full scale investigation into Black Diamond Acres. Depending on the outcome of that investigation, the breeder could be fined. Yoder voluntarily gave up his license following the inspection. Inspection records from the previous three years on this breeder also show major deficiencies in the care of animals. Most of those deficiencies required immediate corrections in order for the Black Diamond Acres to keep operating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tilly Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 I would be interest to know the age of the breeder ... this was something done many years ago in the country. The neighbour down the back of my parents place (since pass away) did the exhaust thing to a couple of litters of kittens (born to strays that were dumped at their place) ... at least 3 litters that I know of. Don't agree with the process and do agree they should throw the book at him ... in this day and age there is no excuse for not seeking property veterinary care for the animals.

Maddy Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 useless for breading without expensive antibiotics. Dogs are much easier to bread if you dip them in some egg whites or milk first. Amusing typos aside.. there are shelters in the US that still gas dogs and cats as a means of euthanasia and even when it's done "properly", from videos I've seen of it, it looked slow and very distressing for the animals involved. Perhaps if shelters weren't destroying animals this way, it'd seem less acceptable as a DIY project Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
