DEAR FRIENDS,

Just 2 weeks ago there was a cruel steer tailing event in Rochelle, Illinois. This Saturday it will happen again at the same location!


It is absolutely unacceptable that illegal animal abuse continues in Ogle County, IL. SHARK is taking action and demanding that Ogle County State's Attorney, Mike Rock, thoroughly investigate these crimes and prosecute the perpetrators.

Ogle County should cancel the upcoming event.


It is our moral obligation to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves.


Please POLITELY URGE Ogle County's State's Attorney, Sheriff, Animal Control Department, to CANCEL Saturday's (10/19/24) steer tailing event at: Rancho La Esperanza, 16989 E. Ritchie Road in Rochelle, IL.


Remind them that every steer tailing event violates Illinois' Humane Care for Animals Act.

Mike Rock, Ogle County State's Attorney

815-732-1170 (Phone - please be sure to request a return call)
