Ten workers from the Southeast Mississippi Livestock auction in Hattiesburg and the Pontotoc Stockyard are facing several counts of animal cruelty. This after an undercover investigation by Mercy for Animals where they captured egregious abuse on video.

All are in clear violation of Mississippi's animal cruelty law. Monday, Mercy for Animals filed affidavits to initiate charges against the workers.

Rice says abuses like this are occurring at livestock auctions across the country. We're calling on the National Livestock Marketing Association to crack down on animal cruelty by requiring its member auctions to ensure animals have food and water at all times, provide proper veterinary care, and also proper training and auditing to prevent this type of abuse from happening in the future.

An online petition is posted at mercyforanimals.

In all, 49 affidavits have been filed. They will be sent to a hattiesburg livestock auction who will issue arrest warrants.

If found guilty the workers could face fines and jail time for each charge. The term tropical cyclone pretty common for systems in the southern Pacific and Indian ocean but why has it been used in the Gulf for the past several days?

A convicted Hattiesburg killer was denied an appeal for his case by the Mississippi Court of Appeals.
