Patterson Veterinary Supply, Inc. in Columbus, Ohio

Imprisoned in an old turkey shed are approximately 150 perpetually penned greyhounds—many already used, abused, and discarded by the notorious dog racing industry—who neurotically spin in circles, jump up and down, cry out, and hide in old chemical tanks. Imprisoned in an old turkey shed are approximately 150 perpetually penned greyhounds—many already used, abused, and discarded by the notorious dog racing industry—who neurotically spin in circles, jump up and down, cry out, and hide in old chemical tanks. They are deprived of everything that is natural and meaningful to them, including exercise, companionship, and the opportunity to bond with a human family. They chew on the filthy tanks that serve as their shelter, leaving sharp and jagged edges that sometimes injure them. Some dogs are so terrified that they cower and lose control of their bladder or bowels. The conditions at this blood factory farm are not only cruel to the dogs jailed there—they may be endangering those who receive the blood. Dogs given transfusions are usually either anemic, in urgent need of blood, or otherwise in critical condition. Their veterinarians expect the blood to be coming from donors who are healthy—not neglected, injured dogs, who live amid mice, snakes, fleas, and ticks, all carriers of diseases easily transmitted by blood. Help PETA put pressure on these jerks.

PLEASE do not use this co for your blood supply. They have been purchasing and profiting from a supplier that inflicts horrific abuses on the "donors" it imprisons. They are left sick and untreated, undernourished, diseased and tick infested. They lay waiting to die as their blood is removed on a daily basis. Patterson turns it's back when it could be helping by paying forward to help these poor greyhounds! They are a disgrace to the vet field!!
