ZELLWOOD, Fla. -- The discovery of dog and cat carcasses barely buried or sticking out of plastic bags at one of Florida's largest pet cemeteries has prompted a statewide warning to veterinarians, according to a Local 6 News report.
Local 6 News showed images of "dog body bags" with legs sticking out and other animal skeletons too graphic to show located behind Jancy Pet Burial Services in Orange County, Fla."It makes you sick to your stomach," Greenbriar Pet Resort spokesman Barry Grimm said. "What of these thousands and thousands of animals that are buried in that pit? What is it doing to our ground water supply?"Jancy Pet Burial Services prides itself as being a dignified final resting place for pets, according to the report. However, it now faces allegations of improper pet disposal.Orange County Commissioner Bob Sindler and Brevard County Commissioner Nancy Higgs are calling for an investigation, Local 6 News reported."We are in the process of getting an e-mail off to the staff to do an investigation on the issue," Sindler said.Jancy Pet Burial Services has contracts with veterinarians to dispose of animals. Also, Brevard County spends $44,000 a year to bury euthanized animals, according to the report."I want a full investigation and we will probably conduct our own investigation to see what's going on," Brevard County Animal services spokesman Craig Engelson said.Local 6 News reported that there is no state statute that governs how pet burial services operate, but state law does require animals to be buried at least 2 feet below ground, according to the report.An office manager at Jancy Pet Burial Services said she was not aware of allegations of improper pet disposal and then asked Local 6 News reporter Louis Bolden to leave the property.Watch Local 6 News for more on this story.
