HSUS (and a couple more AR organizations) offer rewards for anonymous calling upon convictions. 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.
