The Mobile CSI (Mobile Animal Crime Scene Investigation) Unit was recently dispatched to Tennessee’s largest-ever puppy mill raid of more than 700 dogs, leading a special forensic cruelty investigation team that includes two forensic veterinarians. There, they were able to collect and process evidence at the crime scene.
The 747 animals discovered in the raid were housed in various enclosures among the property’s 92 acres of hilly and rocky terrain known as Pine Bluff Kennels in Lyles, Tennessee. The farm’s owner could face criminal charges.
The majority of the animals suffered from things such as little to no food or water, lack of proper ventilation in enclosed areas and feces encrusted pens. Some of the breeds found were Jack Russell Terriers, Pomeranians, Chihuahuas, Boxers, Chow-Chows, Dachshunds and Great Danes. Other animals include horses, burros, miniature horses, chickens, goats, purebred cats and even parrots.
Some animals were in such extreme neglect and illness, that they were examined immediately on the ASPCA’s CSI Unit with state-of-the-art forensic tools. Other animals were transported to a nearby emergency shelter, while others are in foster care.
