Lawsuit accuses Boone County of allowing animal cruelty at Mexican-style rodeos
A lawsuit, filed last week against Boone County, accuses the county of not enforcing animal cruelty laws against Mexican-style rodeos that take place on private property. UIC Assistant Law Professor Conley Wouters filed the lawsuit on behalf of the animal rights group Showing Animals Respect and Kindness (SHARK), which has used drones to record footage of alleged animal abuse taking place on property in Boone County. Cameras captured what appeared to be injured steers and competitors slapping and whipping their horses.
