Daniel Zuckerman is reporting in The Daily Mail animal rights organization People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has filed a formal complaint with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration over a recent incident at the Bailiwick Ranch, located in Catskill. PETA alleged a Bailiwick employee was nearly attacked June 30, while feeding a bear, and that employees exhibited a basic understanding of animal behavior during the incident. The organization released a video Wed., Aug. 3, in support of its claims. The video was shot by a visitor to the ranch. Bailiwick owner Gary Koschitzki said the bear, a female named Tallulah, was behaving in a frolicsome manner and that no one was ever in any danger from the animal. If OSHA finds Bailiwick is in violation of federal law, it could result in a $7,000 fine. A representative of PETA said Bailiwick should be closed and the animals sent to sanctuaries, like the Wild Animal Sanctuary in Keenesburg, Colorado. “Anyone who cares about animals should avoid Bailiwick. PETA has followed Bailiwick for years,” she said. Koschitzki said the video simply shows the bear was being playful and that staff and visitors were not at risk. He said no one was in the compound at the time and described PETA’s tactics as “pretty sad.” Read the full story in The Daily Mail.
