Animal Abuse Allegations Against Vet in Kalamazoo, Michigan

"With an open hand, I hit him on the side of his chest trying to get him
to lay down.... adding that the dog had a broken back,
was in pain and was unable to lay down to receive treatment.
I hit him right by the front legs, as soon as I did, it stopped crying."
(Quoted by Dr. Steven Ginsberg)

~2001 UPDATE~ In September of 2000, following an investigation after numerous employees filed allegations, the state combined seven separate complaints into the charges against Dr. Steven Ginsberg including abuse and neglect to animals. In August of 2001 the case was closed after a settlement and some disciplinary action was taken against Dr. Ginsberg's license. Why is it that the abuse charges were dropped? What happend to the other allegations of abuse and neglect filed by the other employee witnesses concerning many other animals ? If there was a trial instead of a settlement, would the abuse charges have been so conveniently dropped like they were?
