Time to put pressure on Ginny Conley

Thanks to Virgil Butler for some horrible news I just learned about today: Ginny Conley, the West Virginia prosecutor in the Pilgrim's Pride criminal case, has decided not to prosecute Pilgrim's Pride because, hey--they were chickens in a slaughter house, so who cares what kind of torture they endured? Part of the problem is that our government has deemed that chickens be excluded from the Humane Slaughter Act, but Conley could have gone for criminal charges, anyway.

The treatment of the chickens was horrendous, but not many people seem to care--they go right on buying Pilgrim's Pride.

It is not too late for felony animal cruelty charges to be filed. You can contact Conley at ginnyconley@woodcountywv.com and remind her that cruelty is cruelty, torture is torture, and West Virginia has animal cruelty laws. Even for chickens.
