USDA Cites Livestock Exchange

In a rare move, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) cited the Cleveland County Agriculture & Livestock Exchange in North Carolina based entirely on undercover video footage provided by PETA. The citations stemmed from our footage of a coatimundi screaming and chittering out of terror while being auctioned off, a wallaby being dangled by the tail, and an oryx who was nearly struck by a collapsing wall panel while breaking through makeshift corrals in a bid to escape his confinement.
