Samson's wife Cassandra was at times supposed to be in charge of the hatchling room aka the for sale animals building, but she was not a reliable caretaker and did not keep on top of keeping the animals cleaned, watered, and fed. She was selfish and unable to admit her faults, and would not allow anyone else to enter the building to clean the animals either. This resulted in the death of hundreds on hundreds of hatchling and yearling animals under her care specifically, and the employees were tasked with burying the countless dead bodies on the back of the property. Only when it would get so bad that the building giving off the odor of rotting flesh could be smelled across the property would Samson send in people to clean up after her. Each week a shipment of almost 1000 live chicks would be delivered to the facility, and sometimes Cassandra would leave boxes of the live chicks to starve, dehydrate and die over the weekend, and employees would have to come in on Monday to bury hundreds of rotting chicks as well.
Samson never got up to visit the hatchling room very often. Whenever he needed a picture of an animal to try and sell he would either send his wife or an employee in to take a picture, so he didn't get to see the state of the building very often. Maybe because he knew she wasn't caring for the animals and didn't want to face that fact. Samson's lack of care or ability to physically help care for the immense collection that he created is just as much to blame as Cassandra's lack of incentive for the blatant abuse of these animals.
Both Cassandra and Samson are to blame for the conditions that they allowed to fester under their care and supervision of the Slither Exotics facility.
In this folder you will find examples of some of the many animals that died due to neglect in the hatchling room/for sale animals building. Because Cassandra did not want anyone to see the horrible conditions she would allow animals to be kept in, there were times that dead animals were not removed from the building until they were nothing more than a puddle of rotting tissue with exposed bone.
Neither Cassandra or Samson should be allowed to continue vending animals in any forum or show.
