OUTRAGEOUS! SPEAK OUT!  Tell USDA To Do Its Job And Help Elephant Nosey! Just days before Hugo Liebel was set to face a hearing on March 26, 2013 for 33 violations of the Animal Welfare Act (AWA), the USDA announced it had reached a settlement. Instead of revoking Liebel's license and handing down a maximum penalty of $330,000, the USDA settled with the agreement that Liebel would pay a meager civil penalty of $7,500 and cease and desist from violating the AWA.  PLZ SIGN & SHARE!
