** DEAR FRIENDS,
------------------------------------------------------------

In seventeen days, the two-year statute of limitations will run out for a steer tailing event held in Capron, Illinois on August 27, 2022. Of all the abuses we came to expect of steer tailing, the white steer from this initial event still haunts the SHARK team, because we watched him suffer, without care all day. He was then forced onto a livestock trailer with his broken leg to be shipped more than 100 miles to Bernard, Iowa. Boone County Animal Services and the Boone County District Attorney has had footage of this day, and so much more for almost two years. Literally, hundreds of charges could have been filed to date there have only been two. One case was lost, the other case was plea bargained down to the level of a parking ticket.

The shocked and overworked steers, the injuries denied veterinary care, the horses who were beaten have all been forgotten by most.

Rick Borrett is the head of Boone County Animal Services. Rick Borrett could see to it that charges are filed. We are not suggesting it wouldn't be costly. On the contrary - the political powers are protecting the animal abusers. Standing up for what’s right is what defines a hero over someone who just rolls over. Unfortunately, almost everyone in Boone County just rolls over. We are hoping that Rick Borrett will decide to be the hero for the steers and horses that are brutalized within Boone County.
