Outrageous >:( An agent with the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation has informed that the Harnett County District Attorney Vernon Stewart “has decided at this time not to bring criminal charges in this case.” In other words, chickens have so little legal protection in North Carolina, that intentionally throwing live and fully conscious birds into mass graves—where they may suffer for days before eventually dying from starvation or dehydration—is ignored by authorities. North Carolina’s lack of law enforcement action in this case is alarming. This blatant failure to enforce animal protection laws and bring justice to animals reminds us that it is not enough to merely uncover abuses and hope they are prosecuted. cok.net/blog/2014/08/cok-investigation-update-burying-birds-alive-apparently-crime-north-carolina/
