Chilling probe claims sick & dying critters' vital fluids are sold to your cats & dogs
BLOOD MONEY!

GREEDY leeches at one of America’s largest pet blood banks siphoned vital fluids from sick, dying and injured cats and dogs to make a quick buck by selling the tainted transfusions to unwitting veterinarians for our nation’s furry friends, outraged critics charge.

Now Indiana’s Board of Health is probing Veterinarians’ Blood Bank (VBB) in Vallonia after a disturbing complaint was lodged by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). The organization says their undercover investigator — whose name was kept under wraps — spent seven months at the facility last year as a kennel technician and documented unspeakable horrors!

PETA claims their shocking photo and video evidence shows 860 critters were callously treated like pin cushions at the filthy facility — where at least one hound had its larynx slashed to silence its barking!

Sources snitch the $125 million commercial animal blood bank industry is dominated by just a handful of outfits — including VBB.

“If you own an animal that has undergone a major surgery in the last 20 years, then there is a good chance your animal was the beneficiary of blood that originated at VBB,” says PETA spokesperson Dan Paden.

“These [donors] were dogs and cats that had cancer, rampant infections, open gaping wounds and a host of other horrors.

“It wouldn’t surprise me if blood that originated at VBB led to the death of some family’s pet.”
