| \n*The inspection reports released involving a 2008 \u201chigh volume breeding\noperation\u201d showed that the inspectors were still hand writing out all\n25 criteria.\n<\/span><\/td><\/tr><\/table>\ninspection reports should be reduced.\n \nIn addition to completing a checklist indicating a facility\u2019s compliance\nor noncompliance with specific requirements, the inspectors also write\nout a description of what they found regarding each item, including\nthose with which the facility was in compliance.\n \nThe inspectors also write out descriptive information about the facility\nthat is identical to information contained on prior reports (such as\nthe size of the facility).\n \nProgram personnel have indicated that the narrative information is\nrequired in case disciplinary action is taken against the facility and\nto develop an inspection history of the facility. Copies of inspection\nreports are purged every two years, however, preventing the compilation\nof any type of long-term data.\n \nThe Program has indicated that it no longer requires its inspectors to\nprepare a detailed report when no violations are found and that it is\nrevising the inspection form.”\n<\/blockquote>\nReally? So, why then, in 2011, is an Ag inspector, and supervisor,\nstill writing out the same detailed report that they were during the\n2000 state audit. .\n \nAnd in the 2003 State Audit Follow Up:\n \n“Since the time of the audit,\nthe Program has taken steps to reduce the amount of time inspectors spend\nwriting inspection reports. According to Program staff, inspectors have\nbeen instructed to stop writing duplicative data in the written portion\nof the inspection report unless it relates to data needed to verify\nlicense fees paid by the facility (such as a holding capacity and\/or\ngross sales information).”\n<\/blockquote>\nPerhaps it’s time for another state audit.\n\n-An Outsider Looking In\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Received yesterday from the blogger of Rattlin’ Georgia’s Cages on Joe Pritchard notified of euthanasia violation March 2011.
