Jenny's Market operator Burton Hoey faces animal cruelty charges

The operator of Jenny’s Market west of Dexter is facing three animal cruelty charges as a result of an investigation by the Humane Society of Huron Valley, the agency’s lead cruelty investigator said.
Burton Hoey faces three charges of cruelty to two to three animals, said Matt Schaecher, director of cruelty and rescue for the humane society. The charges are misdemeanors punishable by up to one year in jail and/or a $2,000 fine and/or 300 hours of community service.
Hoey denied mistreating any animals and called the charges “a setup to get me.”
The charges follow the seizure of several animals from Jenny’s Market last month. Investigators took two horses, four donkeys and two goats from the property, alleging they were in varying stages of neglect. A horse, which was suffering from the respiratory disease heaves, has since died, Schaecher said.
Schaecher said the humane society would seek forfeiture of the remaining animals it seized from the market.
“I don’t feel I committed any crime at all,” Hoey said. “The humane society committed a crime by taking the animals. All they were looking for is a big newspaper story.”
Hoey said the humane society wanted publicity so that people would donate money to the organization. He acknowledged that one horse had heaves but said it had acquired the disease while the animal was on loan to a farmer. He said he had loaned the horse and another one to the farm and brought the horses back early when he discovered they weren’t receiving proper care.
The other seized horse had an abscess on its hoof that Hoey said had already healed. Hoey said the humane society said the donkeys’ hooves needed trimming. He said he acquired them last fall from someone who had not trimmed their feet, and he was in the process of gradually trimming them back. He said trimming the hooves all at once would have caused them to bleed.

Hoey said he should have been given a chance to correct any problems investigators found before they resorted to taking his animals
“They wouldn’t negotiate. They wouldn’t talk about it,” he said. “There were there on Wednesday and they said everything was fine. The next day they came with a bunch of police officers and a trailer. “
The market, at the intersection of Dexter-Pinckney and Island Lake roads, is a popular spot for families seeking doughnuts, cider, hayrides and other activities in the fall.
The charges are the latest development in a string of problems for the business that began last September when a hayride accident paralyzed an employee. The employee, Mary Armbruster, has sued over the incident.
The day after the accident, Webster Township delivered a stop-work order to the market alleging violations of zoning ordinances. Shortly afterward, the state of Michigan found several food safety violations at the market.
In late October, Hoey reported that two men attacked him at the market and stole several months worth of proceeds at the business. Washtenaw County sheriff’s deputies have dropped their investigation of the attack, saying Hoey wasn't cooperating and had failed a polygraph test.
Hoey sued Webster Township in April over its refusal to grant him a permit to install a bathroom. In denying the permit, township officials said Hoey had failed to submit a required site plan. Hoey and the township had been working toward a settlement, but progress recently stalled.
Earlier this month, the township brought a complaint against Jenny’s Market, alleging that what Hoey calls a “haunted straw maze” is a public nuisance and unsafe. The township wants a judge to order the maze removed.
Hoey alleges the township and humane society are harassing him, and the township wants to drive him out of business.
“This stuff’s got to stop. I’m not a bad person, and I’m running a decent place here.”

Unfortunately I have to agree with this man that he is being targeted. Generally people are given between 30 and 90 days to correct issues when animal cruelty is suspected, unless their is an immediate danger to the animals. While heaves is very serious, the other problems described are not. He should have at least been given an opportunity to do the right thing, and I hope he gets it.

Cruelty and neglect are two different things. Neglect can come from poverty or ignorance, but cruelty indicates purposefully causing harm. Are they sure they've got it correct?

The problem is that this guy has an excuse for everything. Maybe the township IS making more of an effort to enforce regulations with his business. But I have no doubt that Mr. Hoey brought this on himself. If you have any doubts about his credibility, read the linked article about his claim regarding the alleged theft of thousands of dollars and his failed lie detector test.

If they are, why are none of the other local farm markets ending up in the news left and right? The guy isn't even a farmer, he doesn't grow that produce, the baked goods are prepackaged and frozen, canned goods are bought in bulk and then have a Jenny's tag slapped on them. I'm sick of the whole "leave the small town farmer alone" crap, the guy is a criminal and there is a laundry list of misconduct, just ask the young woman who is now paralyzed due to his neglect.

I have visited this place for years, and EVERY time, there are at least 3 visibly sick animals, or animals with open infected wounds. I go here to support a small, local business, but after the third "strike", I realized that these are not coincidences- these people do not take care of their animals. So I don't believe the whole thing about the animals being that way when he got them. The first time I visited, when I noticed a riding pony limping on an oozing, infected-looking hoof, I thought maybe the staff didn't know about it, so I told them. I was curtly told "yeah, we know." But the poor pony was still forced to do pony rides. I've had to call the Humane Society every single visit. Needless to say I don't support this business any more, and I'm very glad the Humane Society finally stepped in. This has been going on for years.
Yep!

This all has absolutely NOTHING to do with the city process or any interest from the Village. This property has always been excluded from any map or discussion of proposed city boundaries. Mr. Hoey's farm and Jenny's Market is solely in Webster Township and has no association with the Village of Dexter. There also is no plan for road expansion in this area, except for a long term plan to place a new underpass to the railroad tracks and would not impact the Hoey farm or Jenny's Market. The Village has a couple of pieces of property in the Village if it needs land for public buildings. The stated policy of the Village is that any offices would be downtown, at the site of the current fire department. Mr. Hoey's land has never even been discussed.

A friend of mine from Monroe stopped by here last week while on a day long fall color tour with her mom. She had never heard of the place, nor had she seen any of the publicity. She told me they were greeted by an older man with a "not so pleasant attitude". When they asked about donuts, they were told all that was left was day-old ones, but just "pop them in the microwave" and they are "as good as fresh". Needless to say, they were not impressed and left without purchasing anything.

I would rather a store be truthful and let me decide if I want to buy the day old. Zingermans sells their day old in their deli...people buy it and STILL for big $$ Why? because it's still good food.

I've fostered many emaciated animals for HSHV. They come to me underweight and neglected, but almost immediately see improvement. It takes weeks, not months. Huge improvements in weight and coat. Not several months. And I got them that way. No excuses for neglect, Hoey. With all that money you spend on tv commercials, I'm sure you'll have plenty to pay your former employee who will never walk again due to your neglect. You're consistent- you neglect both people AND animals. Shame on you!

I don't have any problem believing that the HVHS is overreaching here, nor that Webster Twp is gunning for Hoey. He seems to be fully engaged in caring for his farm stock the way a farmer does. For city-folk that's always going to look like neglect. If Hoey's lying, it's for a judge to say.

Fri, Oct 19, 2012 : 11:40 a.m.
People here are assuming that Hoey is an actual farmer. He grew some pumpkins last year but also had a lot trucked in. His Mexican farmhands did the real work. The family's land was leased out to real farmers. His family was in the lumber business, not farming. If you want to see a farmer go down the road to the Lesser's. They are real farmers who farm, not buy stuff from corporations.

He can still need to approach a field from the road. It's the law. Farm vehicles are exempt in Michigan no matter who the owner is: from the Michigan.gov website: What vehicles are exempt from Michigan's titling and registering requirements? Answer: Every motor vehicle, trailer coach, and trailer driven or moved on public roads must be title and registered. Under Michigan law the following vehicles are exempt from titling and registering: An implement of husbandry (farm tractors and equipment).

@oldtimer3: his fields are contiguous, between Island Lake Rd and Dexter-Pinckney Road, so he doesn't need to cross any road to get from field to field. BTW, your comment "As long as he has slow moving signs on vehicles or flashers." illustrates my point about his attitude perfectly-he has neither signs nor flashers.

Ask yourself this, @dont....; why would a respected agency like HSHV overreact? Why would Webster Twp be gunning for Mr Hoey or anyone else? I live at Cedars of Dexter right across from Jenny's, and I will give you just one example of Mr Hoey's attitude: he thinks it is perfectly ok to run his s-l-o-w (unregistered) farm vehicles up and down Island Lake Road, where the speed limit is (in some places) 50 mph.

I have mixed feelings. Without photos the ongoing allegations against this man are impossible to judge. I am concerned that people who have never lived with animals on a farm atmosphere do not understand that animals continuously have issues. Goats feet grow fast. We can trim and then 2 weeks later it looks like we haven't trimmed in months. One of our goats looks fat--and she probably is overweight. The other female who is 4 years older looks scrawny. They are fed quality hay and grain but mostly free range on our vegetation rich property. 2 goats in the same space but look totally different. Two of our goats limp. They are old. They--like me--have a bit of arthritis. If someone came here and saw them they would probably claim animal cruelty. But old goats, just like old people, have aches and pains. The vet was here...he agreed. If I thought they were in horrible pain we would do something. But they walk all over, are very happy ( yes we know when our animals our happy and not) and still eat regularly. They just limp. Animals have physical flaws just like humans. Boils, rough skin, etc. Disease is another thing. Obviously, a diseased animal deserves veterinarian care. As for barns and pastures. No animal should be housed in filth. But in reality are we all out there cleaning our barns and pens daily? The reality is no. The key is having ample space or facilities so that the animals are not stuck in the mess. The picture perfect farms are not a reality--they are only in movies and television--or at well-funded petting farms and zoos. We've never had disease or injury. On the other hand I hear my neighbors ducks. Every single night I hear them screaming...they aren't happy. I can't see the conditions over there I can only hear...so while our ducks sleep peacefully come sundown the neighbor ducks are screaming. I think AnnArbor.com should in the future obtain photos in cases like this...otherwise, there's too much speculation.

It could have been too late to save the horse. You don't know all the details to make that kind of assumption. What is the point is that poor horse did die and that is sad. If it was really neglected being taken in and treated for an ailment after not being cared for probably won't help save it. If you take in a starving animal and try to feed it for a few days and it still dies, are you at fault?
