That isn't what you said. You said, "Or An AR Extremist walks by and calls AC anonymously, to get that $10K or $5K reward they are giving for anonymous sneaks." You clearly stated that AC is giving rewards. I don't know what sneaks are, but, I guess you believe in it. What is an illegal investigation? And how do private citizens go about performing them?? I investigate stuff, and people, and dogs, all the time, on-line. Am I a felon?? Dog fighters sore horses??? When did they start doing that and what is it they are trying to achieve? Put a wild mustang and a vicious Amstaff in a pit; I will put my money on the mustang! Wonder what odds they would give me? I wonder if I can claim some of those "anonymous person rewards?" If it is truly anonymous, then how would they know it wasn't me???? Sorry, but, this all sounds like conspiracy theory - fear mongering. Now, does anyone know what size crate Romney put his dog in on the roof of his car? Those wild and crazy Republicans are bringing down the wrath of the ARistas, eh? I have to go check the new, secret nuclear power plant that is being built in my backyard, by sparking computers, now that it is getting dark. Someone privately e-mailed me that Burt Campbell is probably behind that! Anyone remember him??

The anonymous person calls HSUS (or ASPCA, but I'm not sure about that one) and HSUS notifies the Sherrif/Police in the area. (Sometimes after doing their own illegal investigation). The LEOs investigate, arrest if probable cause, then upon conviction, the anonymous person gets the reward. It mostly has been happening with Dog Fighting... just happened in my area 2x. Somebody just got $10K in the conviction of the trainer who was 'soring' the horse. Storm On Mar 2, 2012, at 5:45 PM, Paula M.
