DEAR FRIENDS,
This past weekend had some frustrations. We appreciate everyone who called the Martin County, Texas Sheriff to report the illegal cockfight. Unfortunately, the Sheriff ultimately did nothing. The cockfight went on as scheduled, unbothered by police.
We were also told of another cockfight happening in Lawrence County, Ohio. We called the police and while they won’t answer us directly, they took no action either.
Martin County, Texas and Lawrence County, Ohio are known hotspots of corruption. It shouldn’t take this much effort on our part, but we will hammer them until they comply.
In Boone County, Illinois we are still fighting to get changes to cruel steer tailing! 8 of the 12 members of the County Board do seem to be listening to us! We hope to have good news after the meeting this Thursday.
We have been going to meetings, or writing into meeting to make our voices heard. Its time they hear yours too.
Please write to Rod Riley, Chairman of the Boone County Board.

You must state your Name, Address and “Please read at tonights meeting for Public Comment,” (We typically have this in the subject line)
And just write him a few quick sentences (it must be read in under 3 minutes) about how this is blatant animal cruelty and it must stop.
