Police Protect Cruel Wauconda Rodeo (Part 2)

Illinois has humane laws to protect animals, but rodeo thugs have nothing to fear in Wauconda, Illinois, where the Lake County Sheriff's Department and the Lake County State's Attorney's Office are in the tank for the Wauconda Rodeo.

SHARK thanks the Earth Network for use of some footage for this video.

WOW... 7:53 and forward.... Laws are NOT open to interpretation! That's why they are written in books, with WORDS that MEAN THINGS that have clear DEFINITIONS. What a load of garbage. I would hope that since you are state certified to conduct the investigation, it would include the ability to bring charges against people who interfere with that investigation.

@topper4125 Thanks for your post. The problem with upper echelon police, DAs and politicians is they all wipe each other's butts. We file, but unless the complaint is handled by someone outside the good ol boys network, nothing happens.

I can accept your beliefs of being against inhumane animal abuse. I also accept the fact that you can legally be at these places doing what you do. I feel you guys sometime forget that other people have the right to participate in what they enjoy. Granted I do not approve of animal abuse and find it distasteful, but people have a right to participate in activities of their choosing as long as it is within the confines of the law.

@lyokofans The laws need to be changed to protect the animals, and that's why we're raising awareness, so more people can speak out to their legislators to get the animal cruelty law exemptions lifted from these entertainment venues . If these venues truly believed and were absolutely certain they aren't harming animals, they wouldn't be scared of our cameras.

Why didn't you call the State Police?

@battleguy500 Although our investigators are state certified, this was a local jurisdictional issue.

absolutely disgraceful. cops have got to be the stupidest most unintelligent drones one the face of the planet. i cant stand local "authorities" like cops. i have a similar situation going on at my school where we are trying to form an atheist group. the law says that we are entitled to equal access and that the school must accommodate us. they throw crap at like saying its required that we have a teacher sponsor, when in fact they have to provide one or let us gather after school without one.

Does anyone else think that the cop looks like Barney Fife? lol

@SHARKonlineorg I agree laws should be in place within reason to protect animals from inhumane treatment. I feel that some of your methods are a bit too aggressive causing negative reactions from the people involved. I agree with your cause though.
