00:00He sold you two kittens.
00:02They had a virus.
00:04Exactly.
00:06He said he could put them down and give me new kittens.
00:11You can't put them down for that.
00:13I don't minimize the fact that you're upset
00:16and that you are attached to these kittens now.
00:19They're sick.
00:20This is Judy Justice.
00:30We'll see you next time.
01:00Who's B?
01:00Yes.
01:01Your complaint is a relatively simple one.
01:03You claim that Mr. Taylor is responsible
01:05for all of your cats getting ringworm
01:07and being sick and you want him to pay your vet bills
01:10and a whole bunch of other things.
01:11$10,000 worth.
01:12Yes, ma'am.
01:13Okay.
01:14Mr. Taylor says he felt a certain amount of sympathy for you
01:17initially when you told him you had extensive vet bills
01:21because he sold you two kittens.
01:23Yes.
01:23Did he ever pay any of the vet bills early on?
01:26Yes.
01:27How much did he pay?
01:27The approximate number, I don't know,
01:30but I can tell you it's around $1,200.
01:33How much money did you pay?
01:34I believe $13-something.
01:36You bought two kittens for him on what date?
01:38May 24th, 2021.
01:41And they were Bengal kittens?
01:42Yes.
01:43How old were they on May 24th?
01:44About 11 weeks.
01:46By the time they were 11 weeks old,
01:47they usually get some shots?
01:49Yes.
01:49Had you given them any shots?
01:51Yes.
01:51Which shots have they gotten?
01:52I don't recall exactly what it is,
01:54but it's called a four-way.
01:55They receive a four-way of shots.
01:57It's one shot.
01:57Do you remember how old they were when they got them?
01:59I give them at seven to eight weeks.
02:01How many kittens were there in the litter of these kittens?
02:04Because you had the litter, correct?
02:05Correct.
02:06Okay.
02:07I believe there was four.
02:08And how much did Ms. Hughesby pay
02:10for the two kittens that she purchased?
02:12$1,500 apiece.
02:14So she paid $3,000?
02:15Correct.
02:16And you have both parents?
02:18Correct.
02:19How long have you been in the breeding business?
02:20Ten years.
02:21When the plaintiff purchased the kittens,
02:24was there a contract?
02:25No.
02:26Is that correct?
02:27Yes.
02:27Now, you took them home on the 24th of May.
02:30Yes.
02:31You had other cats at home.
02:32What other kind of cats did you have at home?
02:34One bangle, one years old,
02:36and one calico, ten years old.
02:38Now, the bangle that was a year old was a male.
02:41Yes.
02:42Neuded or not?
02:43No.
02:43So you planned on breeding the cats?
02:45Yes.
02:45Because you bought two females?
02:47Yes.
02:47Is the calico an indoor cat or an outdoor cat?
02:50Indoor cat.
02:51And what about the bangle?
02:53Indoor.
02:54He's been let out a couple times,
02:55but not on purpose.
02:56But he's both indoor,
02:57and he goes outside and comes back.
02:59He just escaped a couple times,
03:01so he's indoor.
03:01He's indoor.
03:02I'm just letting you know
03:03that I'm familiar with bangle cats.
03:05Okay.
03:05And they like it outside.
03:07They like to prowl.
03:08That's in their DNA.
03:10After the 24th of May,
03:11when did you take the kittens to the vet?
03:14It would have been the 29th.
03:16Show me.
03:17That I brought them to the vet.
03:19Show me.
03:20May 29th.
03:21I brought the kittens to the vet,
03:23and they were...
03:25I have to see the vet's record.
03:28Okay.
03:28You can't tell me what anybody told you.
03:30Okay.
03:31You have to show me the vet's record.
03:34They're a business record.
03:35Okay.
03:36Your Honor,
03:36I have the next record
03:38that states about the previous record.
03:39Just a second,
03:40and I'll see what you have.
03:42Okay.
03:42So you didn't bring the record of May 29th?
03:45No, but...
03:45Just a second.
03:46No.
03:47When did you take them to the vet
03:48after the 29th?
03:517-11.
03:52So a month and a half later?
03:54Yes.
03:54Yes.
03:54All right.
03:55I'm going to take a look at that,
03:56please.
03:56Okay.
03:57Kevin.
03:57There's several of them.
03:58I'm just going to grab them all for you.
04:00No, don't grab them all.
04:017-11.
04:02No, no.
04:03That's all for that day
04:04because it was every single cat.
04:05No, I don't want every single cat.
04:07But I want the two kittens.
04:08Okay.
04:21Okay.
04:21So about a month and a half later,
04:24Yes.
04:24The two kittens,
04:26as well as your cats,
04:27had ringworm.
04:28Yes.
04:29And?
04:29And I have the positive ringworm results,
04:33but there was another medical problem
04:34that I have the other document for.
04:35Yeah, he's not responsible for their ringworm.
04:38Okay.
04:38The other medical problem they had,
04:40when I purchased the kittens,
04:42they were sick,
04:43and I have the photos
04:43and the documents from the vet.
04:46Well, let me ask you this question,
04:47Ms. Husby.
04:48They had colds,
04:49according to what I read here
04:51in the doctor's notes.
04:53Yes.
04:54And I believe that the defendant
04:56acknowledges that he said to you,
04:58they have colds.
04:59Is that correct?
05:00Yes.
05:00So when you took the kittens to the vet,
05:03Yes.
05:03And I say this to you as somebody
05:05who is very familiar
05:06with cats,
05:08having at one time in my life,
05:11probably during a psychotic episode,
05:13I'm only teasing about that,
05:15had six cats,
05:17Persians and Himalayans.
05:19Yes.
05:20And that was 30 years ago
05:21until my immune system
05:23crapped out on me
05:26and I couldn't be near cats anymore
05:29because these were all long-haired cats.
05:31So I'm going to tell you a story
05:32so you'll understand where I'm coming from.
05:34These were...
05:35purebred that we bought
05:36sort of one at a time.
05:37We bought a silver-shaded Persian.
05:41We bought a Persian.
05:42We bought a Himi,
05:43a seal-point Himi,
05:45and a blue-point Himi,
05:46and we loved those cats.
05:48We'd run home,
05:48work lunchtime.
05:50We'd leave court in the Bronx
05:51and run home to our apartment
05:54and check on the cats
05:55and make kittens
05:55and make sure that they were okay.
05:57We lived in an apartment,
05:59so they never went out.
06:00We had them, I don't know,
06:02about six months, seven months,
06:05and they all developed ringworm.
06:08Now, I didn't have ringworm,
06:09and my husband knows
06:10if he'd had ringworm,
06:11he'd be living in another jurisdiction.
06:13And I remember going to take the cats
06:17in their carriers
06:18to the vet,
06:20all six of them,
06:21one Saturday morning,
06:23and it was pouring outside.
06:25And here, we took such good care
06:27of these cats.
06:28I cooked for them.
06:30There was one small one
06:32that didn't like to eat
06:33with the rest of the cats,
06:34so she ate up on the counter,
06:36a little white, beautiful kitten.
06:38And I fed her
06:39because she would be standoffish,
06:42and the larger ones
06:43wouldn't let her get her share.
06:45So these were spoiled cats
06:48by two older people
06:49who were almost empty nesters.
06:52That's what happened.
06:53You're not there yet.
06:54And we're leaving
06:55our apartment building,
06:57carrying,
06:57each one of us has carrying cases
06:59with a couple of kittens,
07:00a couple of larger cats.
07:02And you could see the ringworm
07:03around here,
07:04you know, little spots,
07:06it starts to lose hair.
07:07Is that what happens
07:08with ringworm?
07:09Yes.
07:09And jumping from one garbage can
07:12to the other
07:13in front of our apartment building
07:14was this alley cat
07:16with a sleek coat.
07:18Nobody took care of it.
07:20It took care of itself.
07:23It went from garbage can
07:24to garbage can.
07:26Got what it needed to eat,
07:28lapped up water
07:29when it needed to lap up water
07:31from the rainwater.
07:32Found someplace dry to sleep,
07:34I assume,
07:35because it didn't have a collar on,
07:36but it was sleek and healthy.
07:38I stopped looking at it
07:39because it was looking at us.
07:40It could see the kittens
07:41through the things.
07:42It would stop and it opened up.
07:44They had beautiful green eyes
07:45and I said,
07:46I don't understand this.
07:47We take such good care
07:50of our kittens.
07:52How do they get ringworm?
07:53I said, if they have this disease,
07:58can I get my money back?
07:59And he said,
08:00if they have that disease,
08:02then he could put them down
08:04and give me new kittens
08:05and never offer to get my money back.
08:07Jade Arthur Huesby claims cat breeder
08:21Jeffrey Taylor owes for the cost of vet bills
08:25after selling her two Bengal kittens
08:27with a serious illness.
08:29Okay, you had these kittens
08:31for a little over a month and a half
08:34until they were diagnosed by a vet with ringworm.
08:37Yes.
08:38And when you took the kittens,
08:40they had a cold.
08:41You took them on the 24th.
08:43You don't have the records from the 24th.
08:46Your Honor,
08:46I have a different record
08:49that states the day that they came in
08:51a few days after the 24th
08:52that they were previously seen on that date
08:54because I kept bringing the kittens in
08:56every few weeks and once a month
08:59because of the colds.
09:00So I don't have the first one.
09:02And you don't have the first one.
09:04What I'm asking you is
09:05when you took them in
09:07Yes.
09:08and you notified Mr. Taylor.
09:11Yes.
09:11His response was initially for the cold,
09:15I'll pay for those bills.
09:16And he did give you $1,300 towards those bills.
09:20Yes.
09:21Which you accepted.
09:22Yes.
09:23Did you at any time at the beginning,
09:25the first time you took them to the vet
09:26and the vet said they had a cold,
09:28say to Mr. Taylor,
09:29even though we don't have a contract,
09:31I'm prepared to take the kittens back
09:33and give you your money.
09:35I did state.
09:36Yes.
09:36When?
09:37On what date did you say that to him?
09:39About the 28th.
09:40So it's about the middle of the week.
09:41May 28th.
09:42Yes.
09:43Not even a week after I purchased the kittens.
09:45Just a second.
09:46And on May 28th,
09:47what did the defendant say to you?
09:49That they have a cold,
09:50their cold isn't getting better.
09:51It wasn't a cold.
09:52It was a respiratory infection.
09:54Okay.
09:55And he paid for that.
09:56Yes.
09:57Okay.
09:57And...
09:57So he paid for that.
09:58Did you say,
10:00or did he say,
10:01give them back?
10:01Or did you say,
10:02I want to give them back?
10:03You take care of the respiratory infection.
10:05Yes.
10:06I'm going to tell you exactly what I said.
10:08I'd like to hear it.
10:09The vet had told me...
10:10Don't, you cannot tell me...
10:12Listen to me.
10:13You cannot tell me anything
10:14that the vet said to you.
10:15If you have records,
10:17business records,
10:18like I just read from the vet,
10:20I will see them.
10:21Yes.
10:21But you cannot tell me
10:22what the vet said to you.
10:24You can tell me
10:24what you said to the defendant,
10:25and the defendant said to you
10:27on the 28th of May.
10:28Okay.
10:29I do have it in the note
10:30from the vet
10:31that I mentioned to him,
10:34the vet said that...
10:35Okay.
10:36That's not happening.
10:37Okay.
10:37That's not happening,
10:38Ms. Huesby.
10:38I mentioned to him
10:39that they possibly might have
10:41a viral disease.
10:43I said,
10:43if they have this disease,
10:44hopefully,
10:45you know,
10:45they don't,
10:45maybe it's just a cold,
10:46can I get my money back?
10:48And he said,
10:49if they have that disease,
10:51then he could put them down
10:53and give me new kittens
10:54and never offer
10:55to give my money back.
10:56Just a second.
10:57So he said to you,
10:59if they have that disease,
11:01they should probably
11:02not be bred, right?
11:04Correct.
11:04Which is what you bought them for.
11:06And I will take them back.
11:08I'll put them down
11:08and give you new kittens.
11:10Just a second.
11:11And you rejected that
11:12because we're now
11:12at the end of October
11:14and you still have the kittens, right?
11:15Yes,
11:16but you can't put them down
11:17for that.
11:17Just a second.
11:19You can't?
11:20Just a second.
11:21Just a second.
11:22If it's not
11:23a life-threatening disease,
11:25Ms. Hussman,
11:26you have to pull yourself together.
11:27It's not a life-threatening disease,
11:29but you wouldn't want
11:30to breed kittens
11:31that have that.
11:32Exactly.
11:33So he said to you,
11:34if they have that disease,
11:36I will replace those kittens,
11:38even though he doesn't have to
11:39because you don't have
11:40a contract with him.
11:41But he said that to you.
11:43You chose not to do that.
11:44Just out of my own curiosity,
11:46because there is
11:47no contract other than
11:48she bought kittens,
11:50she took them home,
11:50you paid for the first round
11:52of respiratory illnesses
11:53for the kittens.
11:55Did you get the results
11:56of the tests
11:58for those kittens?
12:00Do they have that disease?
12:02Yes.
12:03Okay.
12:03So you cannot breed them?
12:05No.
12:06Can I see the results
12:07of that test?
12:08Yes.
12:10There's one more result, too.
12:12One second.
12:12Here they all are.
12:15And they gave it
12:16to my older cat, too.
12:17So it's a communicable disease.
12:18It's not a disease
12:20that's in the DNA.
12:21It's in the blood.
12:22So that's how they test it.
12:24I don't...
12:24Shh!
12:25Shh!
12:29They had a virus.
12:31It's a virus.
12:32It's a herpes virus.
12:33It's a virus.
12:34But you can't get rid of it.
12:36It's medically proven
12:36you can't get rid of it.
12:37I don't know that.
12:38Your Honor, I have one more
12:39that states
12:40because the doctor,
12:41without blood testing them,
12:43said this is...
12:43You cannot tell me
12:45what the doctor said.
12:47I have this in here.
12:47If you want me to read a report,
12:49I will read a report.
12:50This is before they blood tested it.
12:52On the second page...
12:54Just...
12:55I'm a reader.
12:56That's what I do.
13:02Okay, so...
13:03It was stating
13:04because I brought in
13:05for the respiratory,
13:06they put notes in there
13:07like, you know,
13:08that it has the herpes
13:09and that hopefully
13:10they will improve.
13:11So before I got it blood dusted,
13:13but they knew
13:13from looking at it,
13:14like, since I bought it,
13:16it had all the symptoms.
13:17You cannot tell me
13:19what they thought,
13:20what they knew.
13:21Well, later on,
13:22it did test positive.
13:23It also said in there,
13:25and I know that you're upset,
13:27and I don't minimize
13:29the fact that you're upset
13:30and that you are attached
13:31to these kittens now.
13:32You bought these two kittens
13:34without a contract.
13:35You took them home
13:36knowing that they had a cold.
13:38If I went and bought an animal
13:40and the animal
13:41didn't look right to me,
13:42I would say,
13:42you know what?
13:43I'm not taking this animal home.
13:45It doesn't look right to me.
13:46But you decided to do that.
13:48The defendant,
13:49who's been in the business
13:49for 10 years,
13:51said to you,
13:51they have cold.
13:52That's what I see.
13:54He didn't voluntarily say that.
13:55Well, you saw that.
13:56That's what you said
13:57in your complaint.
13:58Yeah, but you acted like,
13:59oh, it's nothing.
14:00I see it all the time.
14:01Just a second.
14:01That's all right.
14:02You're buying a product.
14:04Your product is two kittens.
14:06It's just like
14:07if you went and bought a car
14:08and when you started it up,
14:10it started to smell a little bit.
14:13And the person
14:15who was selling you this car,
14:16it says,
14:17oh, they always start up
14:18and they smell like this.
14:19It's until the oil burns off.
14:21Well, if you want to accept
14:22that explanation
14:23and take the car home,
14:25that's your problem.
14:25You smelled it.
14:26You saw it.
14:27The person who was giving you
14:28said, well,
14:29it's not really a problem.
14:31And it may not be a problem,
14:32but six months later,
14:34it turns out to be a problem
14:35because there's an oil leak
14:36that you don't have
14:37a contract with that person
14:38unless you do, in fact,
14:40have a contract with them.
14:42That there's a certain amount
14:42of time that you have
14:43to take the kittens
14:44to be checked by a vet.
14:46And if within 10 days,
14:47and I've seen those contracts
14:49thousands of times,
14:51you didn't have that.
14:52You happen to have
14:53what I perceive to be
14:55a legitimate breeder
14:57who said to you,
14:59I feel badly
15:00that you have to take the cats
15:02in for this respiratory problem
15:05and I will pay that vet bill.
15:08But then when they develop ringworm
15:10and you have other cats
15:11in the house,
15:12a month and a half later,
15:14that was a persistent problem.
15:16According to what I read,
15:17he's not an insurer of your cats.
15:19Your Honor,
15:19the ringworm came up a week later.
15:21I have receipts for stuff
15:23that I bought at home
15:24because I tried to treat it
15:25before I brought them to the vet.
15:26It still doesn't make him responsible.
15:29And I went to the courts
15:30where we live
15:31and I got the paperwork.
15:32They said it was illegal.
15:33Just a second.
15:34Sell it to me without that.
15:35You can't tell me
15:37what anybody said to you.
15:41That's hearsay.
15:46He never said,
15:47my cats also had ringworm.
15:50But he paid the bill.
15:51Why did he pay the bill
15:52if he didn't think he was guilty?
15:53Maybe he was just a nice person
15:55and he felt sorry for you.
15:56Jade Arthur Hughesby
16:10has accused cat breeder
16:11Jeffrey Taylor
16:12of selling her two Bengal kittens
16:15infected with a virus.
16:17Jeffrey says he offered
16:18to take the kittens back,
16:19but Jade refused.
16:21Okay, what I'm telling you is
16:23you don't have a contract with him.
16:26The state we live in,
16:27they said it's illegal
16:28to sell without a contract
16:29and to sell while it's sick.
16:31Okay.
16:31You have to be able to establish
16:33that the defendant knew
16:35that these cats were sick.
16:37That's number one.
16:38I'm going to ask him a question.
16:40Sarah's going to look it up.
16:41Where do you come from?
16:42Minnesota.
16:43Minnesota.
16:44What county?
16:45Anoka County.
16:46Anoka County.
16:47Look up Anoka County.
16:48The sale of domestic animals.
16:51There were two other kittens
16:52in this litter, sir.
16:54Yes.
16:55Were any of your cats
16:56treated for ringworm?
16:57No.
16:58Did either of the two people
16:59to whom you sold
17:01the two other kittens
17:02report to you
17:03that their kittens had ringworm?
17:05No.
17:06But, Your Honor,
17:07he told me on the phone,
17:08oh, my dad had the ringworm
17:09because his dad helps him
17:10with the kittens.
17:11Just put some shampoo
17:12and buy some cream.
17:13I told him that a week later.
17:15Because a week later,
17:16the ringworm came up
17:17and I bought stuff
17:18to treat it at home,
17:19but it wouldn't get rid of it.
17:20Just a second.
17:21Excuse me.
17:22He's not an insurer
17:23of your kittens.
17:24But he knew.
17:25You have one cat that goes...
17:26He said they had it over there.
17:28Now he's saying
17:28that they didn't.
17:29Well, just a second.
17:30Did he ever...
17:31What?
17:32Did he tell you
17:33when your cats
17:34were diagnosed
17:35with ringworm
17:36that his cats
17:37were diagnosed with...
17:38Just think about
17:39the answer
17:39to my question.
17:41No.
17:42He never said
17:43my cats
17:44also had ringworm.
17:45But he paid the bill.
17:47Why did he pay the bill
17:48if he didn't think
17:48he was guilty?
17:49Maybe he was just
17:50a nice person
17:51and he felt sorry for you.
17:52But he's not paying you
17:53$10,000.
17:54That's ridiculous.
17:55Unless you can establish
17:57to me,
17:57and I don't know
17:58what the law says.
17:59So there is a law
18:00that no animal
18:01may be offered for sale
18:02by a broker or pet dealer
18:03until the animal
18:05has been examined
18:05by a vet.
18:06And the rights
18:07of the purchaser
18:07if within 10 days
18:09after receipt of the animal
18:10by a purchaser,
18:11a veterinarian
18:12states in writing
18:13that the animal
18:14has a health problem
18:14that existed
18:15at the time of purchasing.
18:17They should have
18:18two business days
18:19to inform the breeder
18:20and return the animal.
18:22And return the animal.
18:23Okay.
18:24So you took the kittens,
18:27according to you,
18:28within that 10-day period
18:30to a doctor.
18:31Yes.
18:32And you informed
18:32the defendant.
18:33Yes.
18:34And you were informed
18:35him within two days.
18:36Yes.
18:37And at that time,
18:38did you ask
18:39to return the kittens?
18:41At that time.
18:42The answer is
18:43either yes or no.
18:44Yes, after the visit.
18:45After the visit
18:46and what did he say to you?
18:48If they have that disease.
18:49No, not if they have the disease.
18:50We're not talking
18:51about that disease.
18:52We're talking about
18:53the cold.
18:53Yes.
18:54We're talking about the cold.
18:55You accepted payment of him
18:57for either $1,200 or $1,300
18:59for treating them
19:01for that cold
19:02and upper respiratory infection.
19:04Yes.
19:05That's the way
19:05you resolved the issue
19:06because you didn't want
19:07to return the kittens.
19:09I asked him
19:10about getting my money back
19:11for the kittens,
19:12which obviously
19:14I'd return the kittens
19:15and get the money back.
19:17No, if they are diseased,
19:20then we will put the cats down
19:21and I will give you new kittens.
19:22New kittens.
19:23And you said no?
19:24Yes, you can't do that.
19:26Okay.
19:26You can't put the cats down
19:27for that.
19:28Okay.
19:28You have the kittens now?
19:30Yes.
19:31How are they?
19:31They still have respiratory problems.
19:33I just brought them in last week.
19:35They're sick.
19:36And I keep giving them
19:37the medication.
19:38It's because of the disease.
19:40It causes viral respiratory problems.
19:43What do you want to do?
19:44Excuse me.
19:45What would you do?
19:47Would you return the kittens
19:49to the defendant
19:50and say,
19:51I'm giving you the kittens.
19:52If you can put them down,
19:53put them down.
19:54I want my money back.
19:55My question is,
19:56is that what you want to do?
19:59I'm not saying
19:59that that's what I will do.
20:01I'm just asking you,
20:02is that what you want to do?
20:03No, they diseased
20:05all the other cats
20:05in the house, too.
20:07I can't just get rid of them.
20:08You know what I'm saying?
20:09All my cats are diseased.
20:11I mean, I'd have to get rid
20:12of all my cats.
20:12And what I'm telling you is,
20:14you have no proof
20:16that it's his fault.
20:17From the day I brought them home,
20:19they had symptoms of the disease.
20:21Madam, he says
20:22that his kittens
20:23and his cats
20:25were not treated for ringworm
20:26on or about the time
20:28that your cats
20:29developed ringworm.
20:30So if the kittens
20:30brought the ringworm
20:31into your house,
20:32that means they had
20:34to bring them in
20:34from his house
20:35because they never
20:35left his house.
20:36But it's possible,
20:38possible,
20:39that your bangle
20:39that does go outside
20:41brought ringworm
20:42into the house.
20:43I don't say it happened.
20:44I think it was very nice
20:45of him absent a contract
20:46for him to pay the vet bill
20:47for the respiratory illness.
20:49He wasn't pleasant.
20:50He wasn't pleasant
20:51like he was saying.
20:52I didn't say he was pleasant.
20:53I said pay.
20:54What did she say?
20:55He wasn't...
20:56He wasn't pleasant.
20:57Pleasant.
20:58He doesn't have to be pleasant.
20:59You paid him $3,500
21:01for a kitten.
21:02He's not an insurer
21:04of your entire cattery.
21:06But he sold me a disease.
21:08We're done.
21:08Thank you very much.
21:09In case...
21:09Court is adjourned.
21:12I felt that I went
21:14above and beyond
21:15and took care of
21:15the issues that she had
21:17with the cats
21:17at the beginning,
21:18which I didn't have to do.
21:19I hope they do have
21:20a good home
21:21and I hope they're
21:21taken care of
21:22and I think that she
21:23will take care of them.
21:24She does seem
21:24pretty passionate, so...
21:26You know,
21:27I remember that story
21:28about you and Poppy
21:29taking all of the cats
21:30and their carriers
21:31back to the vet
21:32and seeing that stray cat
21:34and I sympathize
21:35with the plaintiff
21:36because I understand
21:36that she was
21:37in a tough moral position.
21:39She doesn't want
21:39to return the cats
21:40knowing that they're
21:41going to be put down
21:42for this disease,
21:43but she doesn't want
21:44to keep diseased cats
21:45in her home.
21:46So I understand,
21:47but it's a tricky spot
21:48to be in
21:48and sometimes
21:49the alley cats,
21:50no matter how well
21:51you take care of your cat,
21:52come out on top.
21:54They're strong.
21:55That's what we call Poppy.
21:56Call him an alley cat.
21:58Yes, I did feel
21:58sorry for her,
21:59but there's a good
22:00legal lesson.
22:02When you buy an animal,
22:03you're supposed
22:04to have a contract
22:04and the contract
22:05should provide
22:06that you have
22:07a certain amount
22:08of time, days,
22:09to take the cat
22:10to a vet
22:11and have the vet
22:11make a diagnosis
22:12and if the diagnosis
22:14is such that the kitten,
22:16you feel as if the kitten
22:17or the dog
22:18or the puppy
22:18is sick,
22:20you have five days
22:21in which to return
22:23the animal
22:24for a full refund
22:25or replacement
22:26at either your option
22:28or the seller's option.
22:29That's a clear contract.
22:31Here, she paid $1,500.
22:34There was no contract.
22:36She saw that the kittens
22:37had runny nose
22:38and eyes.
22:39She took them anyway,
22:41took them to the vet,
22:42called him.
22:43He said,
22:43gee, I'm sorry.
22:44And at some point,
22:46you just have to say,
22:47listen,
22:47this is my responsibility.
22:49It's not somebody
22:50else's fault.
22:51So, I feel sorry for her
22:53because she's a sweet lady
22:54but that doesn't mean
22:55she has a legal remedy
22:56and she doesn't.
