RENO, Nev. (AP) - The government is investigating allegations of animal neglect and abuse at a state agriculture college.

The incidents at the College of Agriculture at the University of Nevada, Reno, occurred over three years and were reported to the U.S. Department of Agriculture by a faculty member, the Reno Gazette-Journal reported Monday.

The teacher, Hussein S. Hussein, claimed that as a result the university retaliated against him and sought to have him fired.

...

The investigation began in September, a month after the Gazette-Journal began reporting on research at the school, finding, for example, that 38 pregnant sheep died in October 2002 in a paddock behind a locked gate without food or water for three days.

1. At times like these I believe in "An eye for an eye"

died in a paddock behind a locked gate without food or water for three days


I wouldn't bat an eyelash if the humans who allowed this met the same fate.
