PETA alleges conflict of interest, calls for investigation in Lake Station dog deaths from heat
The animal rights organization PETA called on the Lake Station Police Department to recuse itself from any investigation, citing a potential conflict of interest involving the department’s chief and the dogs’ owner.The Humane Society, which serves as Lake Station’s contractual animal care and control partner, said it was blocked from seizing surviving animals in accordance with local law.
The driver called McHenry, who arrived at the scene alongside personnel from the Lake Station Police Department and the Humane Society of Hobart. Some of the animals were already dead, while others showed signs of extreme distress. She planned to transport them to a veterinary hospital to receive emergency care, after which the Humane Society would conduct an investigation and return the animals after compliance was proved and any fines and fees were paid. McHenry objected, and refused to allow the Humane Society to transport the dogs.“The police intervened on behalf of the owner,” Wright said, and “told the Hobart Humane Society, ‘Just back off for now, let’s get these guys cooled down as quick as possible.
In a statement released Wednesday, the Humane Society of Hobart raised concerns about the Lake Station police department’s handling of the situation.
