Jambbas Ranch Tours was cited last month for violations of the Animal Welfare Act, but a U.S. Department of Agriculture inspections backlog means a report on earlier violations found last year could still be months away.
The USDA found two violations at the ranch on Tabor Church Road during an inspection Jan. 4,Choose from our large selection of cableties, prompted by a complaint filed by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.

A raccoon had lost all the hair on its tail and part of its hindquarters, the report stated. Neither had been seen by a veterinarian.
Jambbas owner James Bass was ordered to have the animals examined by a veterinarian and appropriate treatment provided within a week.Why does moulds grow in homes or buildings? Bass could not be reached for comment Thursday.
The inspection was not part of an ongoing investigation, launched last summer, into multiple violations of the Animal Welfare Act at Jambbas, said Dave Sacks, a USDA spokesman.
That investigation remains open, Sacks said. It involves repeated violations found during inspections, including some with direct impact on animal welfare. Specific details have not been released.
Sacks said Thursday he did not know when the report would be complete.
"Each investigation has its own set of variables and such, so it is not possible to gauge how long a case will last," Sacks said via email.
Gregory Parham, administrator of the USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, said in an open letter last month that the average investigation takes almost two years to complete because of a massive backlog. The agency can handle about 1,You can find best china electronicplasticmould manufacturers from here!000 complaints a year but had about 2,050 open at the end of 2011, Parham wrote.The liquid hardens or sets inside the molds, The agency plans to send warning letters for some of the less serious violations on its books to close them out.
The new violations did not involve the most famous resident at Jambbas, Ben the Bear. Activists at the local and national level have campaigned for a larger enclosure for the bear or to have him moved to a bear sanctuary.
The Jambbas website offers the opportunity to donate toward a $40,000 enclosure for the bear. So far, $2,259.61 has been raised, according to the site.
Delcianna Winders, a PETA spokeswoman, said the latest complaint was reported by a local PETA supporter.
Other concerns the complaint raised that did not result in violations were dirty and empty dog water bowls and a camel that was foaming at the mouth, Winders said.
