prison, one year for each count.
The United Animal Protection Agency
and New Beginnings Animal Shelter
raided his property last month
after an
anonymously-posted video
showed Holloway
beating a dog to death.
The organization had long
suspected Holloway
of selling sick animals.
Because if I do nothing, I won't
be able to live with myself.
Yes, just enough for the plane
ticket, I promise.
Thank you, Dad.
I love you.
And Dr. Reddick, what did you
find upon examining the dogs
that were seized
at the Holloway property?
They were living
in absolute squalor.
They didn't have
adequate food or water.
Many were lying
in their own feces.
Upon further inspection
at the county fairgrounds,
we found 32 of the dogs
were infested with roundworms.
You don't need my expertise.
You just need common sense.
Five people can't provide
adequate care to 100 dogs.
That's the very definition
of negligence.
Thank you. No further
questions, Your Honor.
Doctor Laughton, aren't you,
Doctor Dale and Doctor Reddick
all members of the UAPA's
board of directors?
Yes. But we're also
veterinarians
with 60 years of
combined experience.
Is it the UAPA's stance
on dog breeding,
even though it's
completely legal,
that it just shouldn't exist?
Yes.
Thank you, nothing further.
[people yelling, jeering]
Please, back off.
Folks, back off.
Look, I know you probably
want nothing to do with me.
Let me help... please!
We're in a "battle of experts."
And judges and juries naturally
tend to side with experts.
These "experts"
are nailing us to the wall.
Okay, so what if we bring in
our own experts?
We have, but they're money, they're
big money and we can't afford that.
We're already having to sell the
back hundred... with the horses.
No choice.
What if I took the stand?
Your involvement with Will
damages your credibility.
Okay, then what do we do to win?
Just one way:
So, it comes down to Prop 12,
Your dad is a target because he's
the opposition's loudest voice.
If they discredit him, they discredit
the opposition and they win.
- Case closed.
- "Puppy mill reform?"
Yeah. Prop 12, it does things
like make it illegal
to keep animals in cages
with wire floors.
of business, so I don't get why
- your dad wouldn't want that.
- You don't need new laws
to put people like
the Tanners away.
They're in violation of dozens
of existing animal welfare laws.
Proposition 12 puts
breeders like them
and breeders like us
in the same category.
It'll put an end to breeding.
That's what the bill
is designed to do,
and that's why
my father's against it.
Where are we going, by the way?
- To see Jackie.
- Why?
Shelter's out of food.
Can't afford to care
for all the dogs.
What do you mean?
I don't know,
not enough donations.
Donations? I...
All right, you can have these
two and then that's it.
We're closed, you need to go.
No, we still need to see
the Border Collie.
Uh, I don't have time for you
to go back there now.
That's ridiculous, I don't
understand what the big deal is.
Yeah, she's our house dog.
Just let her see her.
[Sara] Jackie,
it'll take a minute.
She's with her foster family.
Wait, what?
You fostered dogs out?
- We had no choice.
- What about her pups?
We're running low on food.
That's impossible,
Let me see your inventory list.
You got an inventory list,
don't you?
We're run by part-time volunteers,
people who give us their time.
Vincent and I, we do our best.
Those dogs are evidence
in a trial.
I'm sorry, but you're done here.
- [Sara] What would they have done with them?
- [Will] I don't know.
The shelter, they run these adoption
fairs at local pet stores in town.
Maybe they took them there.
But those dogs are state evidence,
so wouldn't giving them away
be considered obstruction
of justice? Negligence?
We'd, uh...
We'd have to prove it.
to buy a dog from Mr. Holloway.
[prosecutor] Really?
Did she say why?
Mm-hm, said he was
running a puppy mill.
I didn't listen and I bought a dog from Mr.
Holloway anyway.
What then?
got really sick.
It had loss of appetite,
fatigue, diarrhea,
all symptoms of the Parvo virus.
What happened then?
We took the dog to Miss
McConnell's animal shelter,
where it tested positive
for Parvo.
Were you upset?
Of course. I had just paid
$1,000 for this dog.
It should have
had all of its shots.
Mr. Morton, what happened
to your dog?
We had to euthanize him.
Miss McConnell recommended it.
[prosecutor] Thank you.
When a dog is vaccinated
for the Parvo virus,
it may test positive for the
virus, because of the vaccine.
What about the dog's symptoms?
The dog may have had a type
of common hookworm,
which is treatable and not
life threatening.
That dog should have been tested for
worms before it was euthanized.
Then, why did you
refund Mr. Morton's money?
Because my son wasn't 100
percent certain
that he had finished
the last round of shots.
Without an autopsy, we couldn't be
certain what the dog died from.
Now, of course, we want our
customers to be satisfied.
We take great pride in our work.
Thank you, nothing further.
- Redirect, your Honor?
- Proceed.
So, Mrs. Holloway,
your son admitted
to possible negligence
and took responsibility
for the death of Mr. Morton's
dog? Is that correct?
- Uh, yes, but...
- Mrs. Holloway,
are you a licensed veterinarian?
at home,
I let my certification
lapse, but I...
- Sir, if I may!
We love animals.
I used to work at a shelter.
That's why I became a vet.
Why...
Thank you! Thank you, Mrs.
Holloway, nothing further!
Yeah, we gave away 12.
I'm gonna need those addresses.
Where did you get the dog?
I got him at a shelter.
I'm really sorry,
but he's private property
and we're gonna
have to take him back.
I don't understand, why would
somebody give him to me
if he belonged to somebody else?
Did you adopt a German Wirehair
from the shelter recently?
Yeah, I did.
I'm with UAPA, the dog was
given to you by mistake,
and we're going to need
to take him back.
You're with who?
That makes five.
This is footage of the raid
on the Holloway farm,
shot by the UAPA.
Notice the dogs are clean,
well cared for,
well fed, and not in distress.
Mr. Joiner, if you claim
to be an expert in this field,
how can you rate these
dogs as a "nine,"
in a scale of one to ten,
ten being the worst?
The dogs were skittish...
poorly socialized.
I saw skin infections,
eye infections... parasites.
Come on, Mr. Joiner, out of 100
dogs, only six had minor diseases.
Common ailments that
Two of which had distemper.
The two dogs with distemper
were quarantined properly
and on their way to a full
