The Stanley Brothers, with their long involvement in the horse slaughter trade, have had numerous convictions and complaints filed against them. The Stanley Brothers history includes: 1. Cruelty complaints filed locally concerning dead animals on their property, with the officer finding dead horses, cows and sheep both inside and outside the barn. However, no investigation was launched and no charges filed (a local official told investigators that the Stanleys have money and influence and are thus unlikely to have any problems with such complaints). 2. Conviction and fine of $10,550 for violating Equines to Slaughter Regulations, which included a violation for transporting a horse blind in both eyes. 3. Conviction and fine of $12,800 for the illegal shipment of EIA infected horses, breaking the laws regarding both the Animal Health Protection Act and again the Equines to Slaughter Regulations. 4. Violations of Federal Motor Carrier laws include: False or no log book; False report of drivers record of duty status;No medical certificate on driver's possession. It has been found that despite their convictions, fines, and complaints from the local population, the Stanley Brothers continue to operate inhumanely and animals continue to suffer terribly. This needs to stop and Stanley Brothers La. Bastrop kill pen needs to be shut down and need to be prosecuted for all the cruel and inhumane acts that go on at their facility.
