(D) = Direct violation, defined by the USDA as having “a high potential to adversely affect the health and well-being of the animal.” (Indirect violations are defined as
not having a high potential to adversely affect the health and well-being of an animal.) According to the USDA, all violations regarding “lack of adequate medical care
for animals” are “Direct” violations; however, many of the veterinary care violations included in these breeders’ records were designated as “Indirect.” (Definitions
retrieved from the USDA’s Animal Care Resource Guide, Research Facility Inspection Guide: Completion of the Inspection Report, Indirect & Direct Noncompliant
Items, http://nsu.aphis.usda.gov/animal_welfare/downloads/researchmanual/7-6INDIR.pdf.)
(R) = Repeat violation, defined by the USDA as involving the same type of violation as one issued on a prior inspection report, even if it involves different animals or
different portions of the facility. According to the USDA, designation of a “Repeat” violation is at the discretion of the inspector; many of the violations included in
these breeders’ records were cited multiple times without being designated as “Repeat.”
