Banned in Illinois!

October 1992

Animal People (Nationwide publication, www.animalpeoplenews.org)

Pigeon shoots similar to the one at Hegins (PA) would appear to be prohibited by section 4.01 of the Humane Care for Animals Act, Illinois senior assistant attorney general Michael Luke advised Will County prosecutor Edward Burmila on September 16. The opinion enables Burmila to begin proceedings against the shoot held each Palm Sunday at the Carpy's Cove gun club near Joliet. Burmila sought Luke's advice after viewing videotape of this year's Palm Sunday shoot provided by Steve Hindi, who was jailed for his role in leading a protest organized by the Fox Valley Animal Defenders. Hindi said he would present Luke's opinion to the prosecutors in other Illinois counties where shoots take place.
