On November 17, 2023, the Ohio State Highway Patrol (OSHP) responded to the scene of an accident involving a truck carrying 1,900 piglets to Iowa. At the scene, one trooper, who was acting on a request from the pork industry, censored local news media from video recording dead and injured piglets being removed from the overturned truck. More troublingly, another trooper kicked, threw, and beat the terrified piglets with a metal baton. We filed an administrative complaint, demanding an investigation and action against the troopers involved. OSHP took disciplinary action against several troopers for improperly turning off their body worn cameras and for using "unprofessional language," but failed to take any action for the media censorship or animal cruelty. OSHP would not provide us with any information on its investigations into those actions, so we sued?the agency to find out more. As a result of our lawsuit, OSHP has now released records indicating that it whitewashed the entire incident and never undertook any meaningful investigation or disciplinary action. The records show that OSHP essentially ignored the complaint against the trooper who censored local news media upon request of the pork industry. The records also reveal that OSHP investigated our animal cruelty complaint against the trooper who violently beat, kicked, and threw piglets but classified his conduct as merely "tapping," "directing," and "lightly striking" the terrified animals. While our lawsuit resulted in obtaining records and court costs, OSHP's conduct in defense of the pork industry remains unaddressed and we continue to explore other legal avenues to bring justice to the scores frightened piglets abused on a dark highway in Ohio last fall.???

Animal Ag companies are using your investment dollars to destroy the planet and sentient living creatures... only you can break the link in that chain. Divest from animal agriculture and CAFOs, go vegan, live consciously. https://jamesacox.com/2023/04/24/veganism-and-climate-change/

It's unconscionable that the officer is still on the job. Someone who could treat an innocent animal that way should have been prosecuted for animal abuse and has no business being in a position of authority.

Like all forms of theft, animal agriculture is so lucrative that the odds are clearly against any public transparency of things that go “wrong”. It is powerful and lined up against any questioning or alternatives.
