SHARK launches investigation to identify animal abusers!
The enormity of corruption in Illinois government and especially in the capital of Springfield became clear when the Sangamon County State's Attorney recently announced that there would be no charges filed against rodeo animal abusers for stabbing, shocking and otherwise abusing rodeo animals during the 2006 finals. The refusal to prosecute comes in spite of extensive videotape and still picture documentation shot by SHARK investigators. The reason given by State's Attorney John Schmidt is that the Illinois Department of Agriculture had failed to identify any of the individuals caught on tape committing abuse. It would be easy to characterize those involved in the Department of Agriculture's phony "investigation" as inept, but that is not the case. The Department personnel involved in the "investigation" are the same people who go around the state instructing approved humane investigators how to conduct proper investigations. These people go on at length about the need to have everything in order, and this most certainly and especially includes the identities of the suspects. What is happening here is an intentional and deliberate attempt to obstruct efforts to bring animal abusers to justice. Let's remember that this "investigation" occurred only as a result of intense public and media pressure. The Department originally denied SHARK's claims of abuse, even after the video documentation had been on the Internet for weeks. The "investigation" was merely a ploy by the Department to take pressure off, and to allow time to go by until the statute of limitations expired on the filling of criminal charges. Illinois Department of Agriculture personnel appear to be involved in nothing less than willful and intentional collusion and conspiracy. The Department has from the beginning worked with rodeo people to first ignore illegal animal abuse, then deny it, and now cover it up and obstruct efforts to bring the guilty to justice. |
