Good morning. We will work on getting the data you have requested, including citations and warning.
 
You have requested a current copy of the DNR policy and procedure manual. Are you looking for a particular policy or procedure? We don’t have a singular policy or procedure manual.

Attached are the citations you requested. Some data has been redacted pursuant to Minnesota Statutes 13.82. Data for the verbal warning involving a minor has been redacted pursuant to Minnesota Statutes 84.0873.
 
Again, can you be more specific regarding the policy and procedure that you are requesting? Are you seeking policy related to DNR Enforcement citations? If you are more specific, it would be helpful for me to provide the policy that you are seeking.
 
Thank you,

Anthony Alongi, Section Manager, Policy and Planning MN Department of Natural Resources:

I actually have a couple of concerns. First of all, why am I being repeatedly harassed over my request for your entire/complete current Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Directives aka policy and procedure manual? Second, why is your Minnesota Department of Natural ResourcesBarbara Damchik-Dykes Data Practices Compliance Official Barbara Damchik-Dykes illegally releasing confidential 13.82 Subd. 7. Criminal investigative data to media outlets for Citation No. 89062021009812 Case No. 39-VB-21-468 State of Minnesota vs Michael A Sysa; Citation No. 89062021009813 Case No. 39-VB-21-469 State of Minnesota vs David Alekseevich Sysa and Citation No. 89062021009814 Case No. 39-VB-21-470 State of Minnesota vs Yevgeniy Sergeyevich Simonovich? Finally, will I be able to get a copy of your Notice to individuals 13.055 Subd. 2. Notice to individuals that are sent to Michael A Sysa, David Alekseevich Sysa and Yevgeniy Sergeyevich Simonovich?

Mr. Karpan: I do have one request. Um, I've not asked for this before, I'm not sure how to handle it, but the Department of Natural Resources as they've done in the past has seen fit to do a press release, and officer Osborne has answered questions for the newspaper. My client – all the facts of the case are in the Echo Press, on the radio and in sporting magazines. Not only are there quotes in there that aren't - - I mean I know the State has a right to release incident data I think it's called.
Under Chapter 13.82, investigative data is not to be released. Well, there are pictures allegedly of my client's fish all over the Echo Press. Everybody in town is talking about it. I don't know if I'll have to make a change of venue motion eventually. I'll have to see how this plays out in a few months.
But under 13.82, there's no way the DNR is supposed to be releasing pictures of evidence to the newspaper. It prejudices my client. It prejudices all of us. It makes it impossible to get a fair trail. So I'm asking the Court to order the Department of Natural Resources to not discuss this case any further until it's done.
The Court: Mr. Hochsprung?
Mr. Hochsprung: Your Honor, I did not authorize the Department of Natural Resources to disclose anything to the paper. Um, I can talk with Mr. Osborne or whoever about that, but I don't have any information about that. State of Minnesota vs. Ronald Wayne Johnson Rule 5/ Rule 8 Hearing. Court File No. 21-CR- 13-51.

Michelle Vaughn, DVM President, MN Board of Veterinary Medicine (651) 201-2844/(952) 938-1926:

When exactly is your Minnesota Board of Veterinary Medicine Executive Director Julia H. Wilson, DVM going to stop treating me like a retarded child? Why wasn't your MN Board of Veterinary Medicine Personnel policy and procedure manual attached to the last email sent by Wilson? Is efficient time management a foreign concept to Wilson? Is the MN Board of Veterinary Medicine Personnel policy and procedure manual "accessible for convenient use" or not? Are the names and contact information for investigators for the MN Board of Veterinary Medicine complaint process "accessible for convenient use" or not? Does Wilson know the answer to these questions? Does Wilson even know if your investigators have established policies and procedures?

When is Wislon going to stop insulting my intelligence and stop wasting my valuable time? Is Wilson competent enough to have an intelligent conversation about animal abuse or not? Is Wilson competent enough to discern the difference between subjective palpation of a horse and objective blood analysis of a horse? So when is my readily available, free, electronic public data hitting my email inbox? Five (5) minutes from never?

P.S. Did Wilson only respond because she was lurking and skulking on my blog, Lion News?
P.S.S. You aren't upset that I sent my communications with your state agency to the New Ulm Journal, are you?

Veterinary Medical Terminology
Courtesy of Nanette Walker Smith, RVT, CVT and Elizabeth Warren, RVT
All veterinary hospitals should have a good veterinary medical dictionary accessible at all times. We recommend Saunders Comprehensive Veterinary Dictionary, second ed. by Blood and Saunders. Basic word structure: Most medical terms can be deciphered by breaking them down to their roots: Prefix – word beginning, may completely change the meaning of the word Combining vowel – links root words to root words or suffixes (usually “o”) Root word – foundation of the word, may change to a combining form to link words Suffix – word ending, refers back to the root The most common word structures seen in veterinary practice are listed in the charts below:
Suffix Meaning Example Literal Translation Actual Definition
-able, -ible, -ble The power to be Palpable The power to feel Able to feel something
-esthesia Denoting sensation Anesthesia Without sensation Without sensation
Terminology frequently used to designate body parts of organs:
Body part/organ Medical terminology
Muscle Myo
Combining Forms:
Root Meaning Example Definition of Example
nomalo- Denoting irregularity Anomaly An irregular finding
Somato- Denoting the body Somatic Pertaining to the body
Sphygma- Denoting a pulse Sphygmomanometer Instrument for measuring arterial blood pressure
Veno- Denoting a vein Venipuncture Surgical puncture a vein

Dr. Nancy Peterson, DVM, of the New Ulm Regional Veterinary Center testified she was contacted by the Brown County law enforcement to do a site visit for humane reasons at Lemarr’s farm on Nov. 23, 2020. “She had 19 horses, 12-14 goats, 20-30 chickens, two dogs and cats,” Peterson testified. “In the first pen I saw no hay, bunk or feeding spot, and smaller, underweight horses that looked pretty rough. They had dull coats, were scrawny, and hadn’t been groomed lately.” Peterson testified she touched the back of one of the horses, “J.J.” and described him as underweight, taking into account that he arrived at Lemarr’s farm underweight. In addition, Peterson testified a water tank had no tank heater that would allow water to stay thawed in the winter. “I saw no bedding or feed in stalls. The floor was packed with dirt and manure,” Peterson testified. “The horses needed more bedding. They didn’t have the coat or body condition score for winter.” Peterson testified “veterinarians should be involved in rehabilitating horses in case something goes wrong, because they know what they’ve been doing.” Chief deputy, veterinarian take trial stand in Lemarr trial Defense witness testifies she saw no neglect Nov 19, 2021 Fritz Busch Staff Writer fbusch@nujournal.com https://www.nujournal.com/news/local-news/2021/11/19/chief-deputy-veterinarian-take-trial-stand-in-lemarr-trial/

Decades of social science and jury research “has shown that most people are affective, not cognitive, thinkers.”48 “Most people are emotional, symbol oriented, selective perceivers of information who base their decisions largely on previously held attitudes about people and events.”49 The typical person is also a deductive reasoner—using only a few premises to arrive at a decision and then accepting, rejecting, or distorting “other information to fit their already determined conclusions.”50 In contrast, a scientific expert witness is a cognitive thinker—basing decisions on evaluation, synthesis, and analysis. Given a jury panel with a typical cross section of the population who will most like be affective thinkers, veterinary pathologists who are typically cognitive thinkers need to understand how to bridge that chasm between affective thinkers and cognitive thinkers. A way to bridge that chasm is for veterinary pathologists to think of themselves as teachers.51 Consider ways to take complicated testimony and make it simple and interesting for the students (the jurors).52 A good exercise is for the expert witness to think back on his or her best teachers and what qualities made them good teachers.53 Consider the ways in which those teachers made learning fun and understandable, and translate them into the testimony.54 Veterinary pathologists should also employ different ways to get across the testimony, including visual aids.55 Expert witnesses should delve into the natural enthusiasm and passion they have for their subjects. This is veterinary pathologists’ chance to discuss and share an area that they love and have spent years mastering. That enthusiasm will be noticed and appreciated by jurors, and it makes the expert likeable (likeability reaches the core of an affective thinker).

3. Only horses exhibiting altered metabolism and having inadequate feed stores on the premises should be seized. Removing healthy horses from their home is not necessary and may often result in adverse consequences due to stress created by a new environment and untrained handlers. 4. If at all possible, the alleged neglected horses should remain at the owner’s farm. Removing any horse from its familiar environment, drastically changing its diet, and exposing it to a new set of handlers will usually result in stress and a further loss of body condition. In the vast majority of cases, if the intent is truly the best care of the horse, that care can best be administered in familiar surroundings. If the legal authorities require, care can be conducted under their official guidance. “Innocent until proven guilty” is the most abused legal standard in America today. Due to biased press coverage, most “trials” are conducted before the accused ever has a chance to answer the charges. Once a horse owner has been accused of neglect, they are stained for life. If they are later proven to be innocent, the public has already painted them with a negative picture. This should not happen. It is imperative that the state authorities demonstrate adequate cause for seizure. Unsupported claims of neglect against a horse owner should be followed by a vigorous public campaign by the state authorities criticizing the parties who have filed a frivolous claim and, if possible, such parties should be prosecuted by the state.

Hey did you want an update on my Chapter 13 Data Request and the harassment that I have been receiving from the convicted thief Brown County Attorney Chuck Hanson? Did you know that Brown County won't even acknowledge my latest Chapter 13 Data Request? Do you want to hear how I contacted the MN Board of Veterinary Medicine? Did you know that the Minnesota Board of Veterinary Medicine Executive Director Julia H. Wilson, DVM. became hostile with me when I sent information about the Veterinarians involved in both the high-profile animal cruelty cases of Candi Lemarr (08-CR-21-272) and Carmen Marie Burth (13-CR-19-1031)?

Do you remember when that thief Hanson wanted to use the confidential body camera video for 08-CR-21-272 to dispel widespread rumor or unrest in Case No. 08-CV-20-978 Candi Lemarr vs Brown County? Do you think that the thief Hanson didn't want to release the now public information to the general public so state investigators couldn't see if the vet on Lemarr's farm was "acting in good faith and in the normal course of business"? Do you think that is why the body camera video was illegally withheld from me, also? Hmm? Inquiring minds want to know, don't they?

Government entities should respond in one of three ways 1. Provide access to the data (and copies when requested) 2. Inform you the data are classified as not public (must give statute section) 3. Inform you the data do not exist • Not responding is not a proper response. Minnesota Department of Administration - Information Policy Analysis Division - Can I ask for that? Government Data Practices Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 13 page 12.

A response five weeks later is neither prompt nor reasonable.

Defendant confirmed she owned all the animals on the property. Including the donkey’s Defendant had 19 animals total. Defendant gave law enforcement a tour of the farm and her animals. Defendant showed the veterinarian and law enforcement paddock 1 on the southwest side of the property. ... The veterinarian explained after spending 8-9 months on the farm, the horses should no longer have body composition scores of 3 or under. It was explained to Defendant the horses should be scoring as 4 and 5’s, and should have more fat on them heading into winter. It was explained to Defendant there were concerns on the two male horses in paddock 1, Horses 6 and 10 and that Defendant would be looking at surgery for them. Defendant responded that was fine because she had the money and makes over $200,000.00 and she has money from the business too. It was explained to Defendant that she should not be comfortable allowing people to ride the horses in the condition they were in.

Given that winter was approaching and the defendant had failed to improve the health and condition of the horses in over two months, Investigator Todd Frank of the North Branch Police Department applied for a search warrant for the premises. On November 13, 2019, the search warrant was signed by the Honorable Robert Rancourt. On November 15, 2019 at 9:00 A.M., the warrant was served on the defendant at her residence. A Veterinarian from Sunrise Equine was present to conduct a herd evaluation and Body Condition Scores (BCS) ranging from 1-9 were assigned to each horse as they were checked. 11 of the 20 horses on the property were seized with BCS scores ranging from 1.5-3, while the remaining horses scored between 3-4.Statement Of Probable Cause.

9:00AM. Case No. 13-CR-19-1031 State of Minnesota vs Carmen Marie Burth
Details Of Report: On November 27, 2012, I was dispatched to 433 170th St in Hugo for a harassment report. … The complainant, Matthew Paul Montain, DOB: [Redacted], was advising that an unwanted male was on his property. I am familiar with this issue, as the unwanted male had been on the property last week for an issue that Sgt Johnson, #121, was dealing with. See ICR 112036632. Upon arrival there, I observed a silver Honda Element with MN LIC: 887KYD parked in the driveway outside of the office trailer on site. The vehicle registers to the Humane Society for Companion Animals. I observed a male standing near the vehicle. I am familiar with this male from the past contact as Wade Richard Hanson, DOB: [Redacted]. He is an employee of the Animal Humane Society. As I pulled up with my squad, I observed Hanson was wearing dark brown BDU style pants, black military style boots, and a dark brown wind breaker type jacket with large yellow letters on the back stating “Humane Agent.” There were patches on the upper arms of the jacket. As I got closer to Hanson, I observed that the patched indicated that he was an investigator with the Humane Society. I could see also a badge on the jacket that was shaped in a police shield style with “Investigator” on the top rocker and “Humane Society” on the bottom rocker. I saw that under the dark brown jacket, HANSON, was wearing a tan deputy style duty shirt with dark brown pocket flaps and shoulder epaulets. This shirt also had a badge like the one on his jacket. This uniform was strikingly similar to the uniform that I was wearing and he could be easily mistaken for law enforcement personnel.

(MIS)USE OF THE BCS IN ALLEGED NEGLECT Over the past year, cases of alleged horse neglect have skyrocketed across the United States. I have been contacted by people from California to Maryland, from Minnesota to Texas, and from New York to Arizona. This phenomenon has reached epidemic proportions. Minnesota alone reportedly investigated almost 400 cases in 2011. Most of these can be attributed to the down economy and the drought making it difficult for horse owners to feed their horses like they would like to feed them. Therefore, we are seeing a lot more horses in below average body condition. That does not make every thin horse a neglected or abused horse. Over the past decade, the Body Condition Scoring System for Horses (BCS) has become, in many if not most cases, the sole reason for seizure for neglect or abuse. The problem with this is that the BCS was not designed to reflect the health or well-being of the horse. The BCS provides an estimate of stored body fat. Period. From a physiological standpoint, as long as a horse has any fat reserves and is receiving a diet that meets its daily maintenance requirements, that horse can be healthy. For example, The Minimum Standards of Horse Care in the State of California (2011) arbitrarily indicates that any horse with a BCS of less than 3 does not meet the minimum standard. By definition, a BCS 3 horse still has reserves of body fat. Once a horse gets below a BCS 3, then reserves are low. However, the health of the horse is only in jeopardy if it is breaking down non-fat tissue to provide for its basic energy needs. The BCS cannot measure this function. Breakdown of non-adipose tissue for energy can be evaluated through blood analysis focusing on liver and kidney function, and the breakdown of structural tissue for energy. Blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, and the ratio of blood urea nitrogen level to creatinine level are indicators of tissue breakdown. Analysis for hematocrit, serum concentrations of total protein solids, sodium, calcium, potassium, triglycerides, bilirubin, and albumin will also provide information concerning malnutrition and starvation. None of these tests are accurate on their own. However, evaluation of matching trends from the analysis can help confirm or disprove that the horse is nutritionally deprived. In addition, the presence, or absence, of other physical indicators of inadequate energy intake should be used to evaluate alleged neglect. Energy deprived horses will be lethargic. Their reaction to stimuli will be depressed. They will usually show signs of dehydration: tacky gums, “tenting” of skin on the neck, concentrated urine with a very strong odor, and decreased fecal output. Coprophagy, the consumption of feces, is usually very pronounced in energy deprived horses, especially those kept in groups. Since energy deprivation is usually accompanied by protein deficits, the hair coat will dull and shaggy. It is imperative that a low BCS score be supported by other clinical signs of starvation to indicate nutritional neglect. The presence or absence, of feed and hay on the premises is an excellent indicator of the ability of the owner to meet the nutritional needs of their horses. If adequate feed and hay is present to meet the needs of the animals, then seizure is not warranted. Few, if any, horse owners will refuse to feed their horses if feed is available. Adding to the problem is that many “evaluators” have not received any formal training in the application of the BCS. They do not understand the physiology of fat deposition and utilization, they are not knowledgeable in conformation and breed characteristics that will influence the BCS, and most often, they have personal biases that lower their estimate. The BCS is designed as a ranking system. It was never designed to be exact and it cannot be exact because of differences in breeds, size, age and conformation between horses. It is a guideline. If the average lay horse owner gets within 1 body condition score, plus or minus, of the horses actual condition, they are doing a good job. Seizing a horse based solely on an untrained person’s estimated BCS is a very questionable practice. I find it very disturbing that humane societies and local authorities have utilized the BCS in such a manner There are definitely cases of neglect and abuse that need to be dealt with in a quick and decisive manner. However, care must be taken to be sure that the animals are truly being starved and that requires supporting evidence from their other physical parameters and blood analysis. My recommendation to all parties is that if neglect or abuse due to nutrition deprivation is suspected, 1. The evaluator must exhibit the ability to offer a trained, unbiased opinion based solely on the stored body fat of the animal. If seizure is to be considered, the evaluation of the animals by a qualified, impartial third person should be required. 2. A BCS of less than 3 is not cause for automatic seizure. The animals in question must exhibit altered metabolism confirmed by blood analysis or other physical signs consistent with malnutrition before they can be seized for inadequate body condition. If it is determined that the horse needs immediate attention, a veterinarian of the owner’s choosing should provide those supporting procedures. These procedures may be done with supervision by the legal authorities. 3. Only horses exhibiting altered metabolism and having inadequate feed stores on the premises should be seized. Removing healthy horses from their home is not necessary and may often result in adverse consequences due to stress created by a new environment and untrained handlers. 4. If at all possible, the alleged neglected horses should remain at the owner’s farm. Removing any horse from its familiar environment, drastically changing its diet, and exposing it to a new set of handlers will usually result in stress and a further loss of body condition. In the vast majority of cases, if the intent is truly the best care of the horse, that care can best be administered in familiar surroundings. If the legal authorities require, care can be conducted under their official guidance. “Innocent until proven guilty” is the most abused legal standard in America today. Due to biased press coverage, most “trials” are conducted before the accused ever has a chance to answer the charges. Once a horse owner has been accused of neglect, they are stained for life. If they are later proven to be innocent, the public has already painted them with a negative picture. This should not happen. It is imperative that the state authorities demonstrate adequate cause for seizure. Unsupported claims of neglect against a horse owner should be followed by a vigorous public campaign by the state authorities criticizing the parties who have filed a frivolous claim and, if possible, such parties should be prosecuted by the state. Author’s Information: Don Henneke, Ph.D., is currently the Director of Equine Science at Tarleton State University, Stephenville, Texas. Dr. Henneke was the principal investigator in developing the Body Condition Scoring System for Horses at Texas A&M University in 1979.
