That will be $56,632, jerks
So apparently a Missouri pet supply dealer can’t tell the difference between cows and dogs. Or maybe he doesn’t want to. (This is a photo from the Web site on the About Us page. I bet he isn’t smiling today.) Here’s a press release the Environmental Protection Agency sent out today. Crazy.
A southwest Missouri pet supply dealer has agreed to pay a $56,632 civil penalty to the United States to settle allegations that it violated the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) by repackaging, relabeling and selling an insecticide meant for use on cattle and hogs as a flea and tick treatment for dogs.
Hunte Kennel Systems and Animal Care, Inc., of Goodman, Mo., will pay the civil penalty under terms of an administrative consent agreement filed today by EPA Region 7 in Kansas City, Kan.
The allegations stem from findings made by the Missouri Department of Agriculture during October 2006 inspections of the company’s facilities in Goodman and Buffalo, Mo. The inspections found that the company had bottled the pesticide Prolate/Lintox-HD into different packaging and sold it as another pesticide, Paramite.
During the inspections, the company was ordered to immediately stop selling the repackaged pesticide.
Prolate/Lintox-HD is formulated for use in the control of flies, lice, mange and ticks on cattle, and for the control of lice and mange on swine. Paramite is no longer manufactured as a flea and tick treatment for dogs.
Kudos to the EPA for looking out for animals.
