Please ask the Department of Agriculture why nothing is being done.

Despite DuPage County bringing 15 criminal violations against Penny Horak, the Illinois Department of Agriculture doesn't seem to think there's a problem at Pet Rescue and has only found 1 violation of the Illinois Animal Welfare Act.

Please write to Acting Director Tom Jennings and ask why the Department of Agriculture hasn't investigated the dozens of complaints that have been brought to their attention over the past several months.
