Justice For Three Sheep That Died Of Thirst At UNR

Three sheep died of thirst at the University of Nevada, Reno after employees falsified reports that they had checked the watering troughs of the animals, when they had not.

The USDA has completed an investigation and found the university at fault, but they may only receive a slap on the wrist and small fine. 

Please sign the petition asking Dr. Robert Gibbens, USDA Director Western Region to take immediate action against UNR for the negligence of these animals and impose the maximum fine of $10,000 per animal.

Dear Dr. Gibbens,



We are writing to ask that you take immediate action against the University of Nevada, Reno for the negligence which caused three sheep to die of thirst in 2011. 



While we realize no criminal charges can be filed against UNR or the employees who deliberately falsified reports stating they had checked on the sheep, we ask that you impose the maximum fine possible against the university.  These innocent animals did not have to die.



Thank you for your consideration in this very sad matter.
