Another cockfight took place today, this time in Coshocton Ohio, and our team was on the scene. We had concrete evidence of the illegal activity and notified the Coshocton County Sheriff's Department. Despite this, the cockfighters were able to leave the premises before any action could have been taken.
When we inquired about the lack of intervention, the Coshocton County Sheriff's Department suggested that the cockfighters may have scanners. The decision to broadcast their response over the air, knowing the criminals may be using scanners, ultimately enabled the cockfighters to escape any justice.
Whether the cockfighters received a tip-off from someone in law
enforcement or simply listened in on their scanners, the Coshocton
County Sheriff's Departments actions allowed them to evade the
charges they rightfully deserved. This failure to take effective
action is deeply concerning and undermines the efforts to combat
such illegal activities.
The unfortunate reality is that we see this all over the country. We
call the Sheriffs, like we are supposed to and then the cockfighters
disappear. We only communicate with law enforcement regarding the
criminal actions so regardless of how the cockfighters get a heads
up, whether it is incompetence or corruption, the police are at
failing at their jobs.
We are not law enforcement, but we are doing their jobs by gathering
the important evidence that should create a simple open-and-shut
case for those that are the law enforcement.
We thank all of you that send the emails, make the phone calls,
and/or donate financially. We travel all over the county exposing
these criminals and travel like this is time consuming and
expensive.
Any and all donations are invaluable, because they go directly into
shutting down these blood-thirsty cowards and exposing criminality
and corruption across the country.
Those of you that donate your time by making the calls and sending
the emails are incredibly appreciated because you make our team so
strong and so large!
