Here's a bit of background on nut sack boy, involving poor dogs and monkeys:

A new report in the Huffington Post charges that Michigan Democratic gubernatorial candidate Shri Thanedar's former pharmaceutical company abandoned 173 dogs and monkeys in its facility after the company went bankrupt in 2010:

Thanedar had to shutter the New Jersey testing facility, AniClin Preclinical Services, after its parent company, Azopharma, which he owned, went bankrupt in April 2010.

Local animal rights activists learned in June of that year that 118 beagles were still stuck inside the facility. The lab’s workers had been jumping the lab’s fences to provide food and water for the dogs, according to a USA Today report.

Two animal welfare groups teamed up to find homes for the beagles and were finally able to take them from the shuttered lab on July 4 to shelters, where they would be matched with adoptive families. A video report conducted by the Times Herald-Record, based in Middletown, New York, showed the dogs arriving in a van from the lab to a staging area where volunteers groomed and attended to the forlorn animals.

A few days later, the California-based group In Defense of Animals rescued 55 long-tailed macaque monkeys that had been left in the shuttered AniClin testing facility.

Thanedar told HuffPost that he had "no knowledge how well the bank took care of the animals," and said the lab followed all rules and regulations of the U.S. Department of Agriculture and other government agencies.
