Including my home state, many states have law enforcement officials who could not be less interested in enforcing anti-cruelty laws. And they have a million creative and not-so-creative excuses why they are slacking and in some instances (and I speak from personal experience) "disappear" the complaints made against abusers.

Not only is there zero prosecution there is not even investigation and seizure EXCEPT where the County honchos can see a benefit to themselves in it. Particularly right now in Nelson County where an actual County Magistrate is not being arrested, not being charged, nor his horses being seized even though the local news is all over it and many photos and videos have been posted on the internet. This same type of thing happens all over Kentucky and includes puppy mills and hoarders. Investigation, appropriate charges and appropriate prosecution simply don't happen often and if they do, punishment for those convicted is scanty and cursory.
