Sheep Abuse at NDSU

[The Sicatoka]

From: http://www.northlandag.com/articles/?id=27...p;property_id=1

USDA inspection reports from 2006 say NDSU had significant deficiencies, including sheep that were found dying and suffering unnoticed by personnel that an internal committee labeled as minor issues.

So unnoticed suffering animals in NDSU facilities is a minor issue?

Given that information, I sure am glad the Medical School is at UND.

North Dakota State University officials say they addressed the issues and paid a $12,218 fine to the USDA.

There's $12k of state funds well spent.

This whole thing has to make the new US Ag Secretary (Ed Schafer, UND 1969) proud.

That's no way to treat your dates ... err sheep.

I guess we'll have to stop hiring UND grads to look after the SHEEP!

A UND grad is now Secretary of Agriculture and has to clean up the repercussions of this at the Ag School in his home state.

That's the only UND involvement on this one. Own it.

A UND Grad. meets an NDSU Grad. herding sheep.

UND Grad.: "Nice dog you got there. Mind if I speak to him?"

NDSU Grad.: "Dogs don't talk."

UND Grad: "Hey dog, how's it going?"

Dog: "Doin' all right."

NDSU Grad.: (Look of shock!)

UND Grad.: "Is this guy your owner?" (pointing at the NDSU Grad.)

Dog: "Yep."

UND Grad.: "How does he treat you?"

Dog: "Real good. He walks me twice a day, feeds me great food and takes me to the lake once a week to play."

NDSU Grad.: (Look of total disbelief)

UND Grad.: "Mind if I talk to your horse?"

NDSU Grad.: "Horses can't talk."
