A dog breeder who was sentenced to jail last year for torture and cruelty to animals has had her license revoked, according to a media contact with the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture revoked the kennel license of Kathy Bauck, who ran the Pick Of The Litter breeding facility in New York Mills, Minn., the ASPCA reported.
The USDA declared her “unfit” to be licensed as her kennels violated the organization’s regulations for puppy breeding facilities, according to the ASPCA.
Bauck’s case garnered attention after video obtained by WCCO’s I-TEAM showed puppies that didn’t have enough strength to stand. Others were sitting in their own feces. Some were also underweight. Others were dunked in insecticide.
Bauck maintained her innocence, saying she never neglected or abused the hundreds of dogs at her facility. She told jurors she was trying to keep the pets from getting ticks by dipping them in the insecticide.
