Traditional livestock are not the only animals to suffer and die during inhumane shipments. Details are coming out from a 2019 shipment of horses from Florida to Puerto Rico where more than half of the horses who were crammed into a retrofitted cargo container died during the trip or had to be euthanized when they reached their destination because of the catastrophic injuries they suffered during the deadly voyage. Please read the article and sign the petition linked in the comments.

A lawsuit filed in Florida April 30 exposes the dangers of shipping horses to Puerto Rico on cargo ships.

Maryland based Gutman brothers indicted for falsifying blood samples of cows who were exported out of Wilmington, DE.

According to the investigation and indictment, the brothers routinely conspired with New Oxford, PA veterinarian Dr. Donald Yorlets to submit blood samples from healthy cows in place of those from untested cows in order to obtain required certificates.

Animals transported in international commerce can only be exported with an International Certificate of Veterinarian Inspection (ICVI). To lawfully issue an ICVI, a USDA accredited veterinarian must verify that each animal has been physically examined, tested for disease, vaccinated and medically treated as required by the USDA prior to shipment.

The investigation began in 2017 when the Pennsylvania Veterinary Laboratory (PVL) in Harrisburg became suspicious that dozens of blood specimens submitted by Dr. Yorlets were not authentic. To confirm their suspicions the PVL sent 804 blood samples submitted by Dr. Yorlets to the USDA’s National Veterinary Services Laboratory (NVSL) in Iowa for Antibody Profile testing.

Each animal has a unique Antibody Profile in its blood. If all of the Yorlets’ blood specimens were genuine, Antibody Profile testing should have shown that all 804 blood samples had a unique Antibody Profile. However, the NVSL’s testing only found 70 unique Antibody Profiles in the 804 samples. The results confirmed that Dr. Yorlets’ repeatedly submitted the same blood samples for different animals and issued false Certificates of Veterinary Inspection for hundreds of cows that were never tested. This allowed the sellers to export the animals quickly and reduce expenses incurred in keeping the animals on domestic feeder lots.

Daniel and Benjamin Gutman are said to have profited 7.5 million from the affected sales/exports.

The brothers still await their day in court but Dr. Yorlets has already plead guilty and is awaiting sentencing which could be up to 5 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. He has already agreed to pay $38,005 in restitution to cover the lab costs.

It is alleged they submitted up to 1000 false samples to a lab

It is well known that Ventilation shutdown is a cruel and inhumane way of killing flocks, yet the industries say they’d have welfare issues if they DIDN’T kill them. This is animal agriculture.

When this ...

If you have a few minutes and want to be utterly disgusted by the lies and deceit they are spewing, please go to Mountaire Farms page and see it for yourself. They are very proud of themselves and they way they treat their animals. They are very proud that they are feeding their community with these innocent victims’ bodies. Just unbelievable.
