Vicky Keahey, the founder of In-Sync, was thrilled to report that that man has had his license revoked. In March 2009, Kahn arrived at In-Sync – he was 6 years old. Sheila arrived the following July.

Kahn’s tail was almost completely chewed off, and he weighed about 100 pounds less than he should have weighed.

Rescuers believe he chewed his own tail as a reaction to either stress or boredom.

Kahn was malnourished and had a hard time walking – and again, he was only 6 years old. Sheila was only 15 months old and was on the brink of death. She couldn’t stand up or lift her head. The USDA officials told In-Sync that it was probably best to have her euthanized.
