http://www.newschannel5.com/Global/story.asp?S=7687122



NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The Sumner County veterinarian accused of inhumanely putting down thousands of unwanted shelter animals will be in court Wednesday.

Dr. William Baber faces 12 misdemeanor charges stemming from the way he put the animals down.

Baber injected the drugs directly into the animals' hearts, which is a method that is against Tennessee state law.

If convicted, Baber faces anywhere from 11 months and 29 days in jail for each offense or as little as probation.




Let's pray this lousy excuse for a vet gets the maximum penalty!!!

A heart stick is not an uncommon meathod used to humanely euthanize animals. You have to use a heart stick on the really small pocket pets like rats and hamsters since it is imposible to do it IV no matter how small your needle is. I've seen a heart stick used on cats 2 times, both times the cats were too dehydrated and didn't have enough blood presure to get a vein. I don't really see how they are calling him inhumane except for the fact that it's against the law to use a heart stick in TN.
