The issue is more basic....hello??? Humane treatment of animals. How hard is that not only to grasp but how many warnings do you need before you get off your ass and make sure your animals are taken care? Anything else is a bullshit excuse.....he wasn't there....he didn't know (AGAIN after several warnings and a ticket)....try reading and you will be amazed that there are plenty of facts already "out." He himself pleaded guilty to animal neglect in the past. ....that poor, rich black man.....spare me.
