George Fox is one man in a small organization trying to make compassionate changes in possibly the most challenging place in the US (next to Springfield, IL).  When it comes to animal welfare, Texas isn't a place to be either an animal or someone working on their behalf.  That's what makes George Fox so interesting.

George heads a small organization called the Assisi Animal Refuge in Killeen, Texas.  George has taken on rodeo in a big way in Killeen, and it was his continuing efforts that persuaded SHARK investigators to head down there for the town's annual rodeo to document abuses.

Three nights of rodeo yielded all the video evidence that George needs to prove his case before the Killeen City Council.  Rodeo thugs shocked calves, steers and horses.  One calf was visbily injured, it is impossible to tell how many went down after leaving the arena.  Animals were hit and poked with steel rods, and had their tails twisted and dragged over steel bars.  There was even an event wherein a small dog was abused by being tossed around and dropped in a box.

George is going after the bad guys, and we were happy to have helped.  We'll keep you informed as things develop in Killeen, and we wish George and his associates the very best success.

Please watch the short video we put together of Killeen's rodeo cruelty, and be sure to forward this to any friends in Texas who can help these positive efforts in Texas.
