Everett judge refuses to allow prosecution in scalded monkey case

This is an utter outrage that the courts have not taken any action against the workers that sent a monkey through a cage cleaning machine, or the company that employs them.  Claiming that they sent the monkey through the machine is pure insanity!

EVERETT — An Everett District Court judge this morning ruled against an animal-rights advocate who sought to file a citizen’s complaint against three former employees of an Everett animal-testing lab who allegedly sent a monkey through a cage washer, scalding the animal to death.

Judge Roger Fisher said a jury likely couldn’t reach a guilty verdict in the case if it were to go to trial. Fisher refused to overrule Snohomish County prosecutors and the Everett city attorney’s office, which didn’t find sufficient evidence to file charges in the case.  FULL ARTICLE

I urge you to send a letter, email or call Judge Roger Fisher and let him know that not pursuing some level of punishment for these people is unacceptable.  It isn’t his decision to decide if a jury would find these people guilty or not!  Take a minute and do something about this because if we don’t then obviously no one will!

Judge Roger Fisher – 425-388-3331
3000 Rockefeller Ave. M/S 508
Everett, WA 98201-4046

Apparently the judge doesn’t have his own email address, so here is the email address for Linda Diemert, Division Supervisor  linda.diemert@co.snohomish.wa.us

Please take just a minute and let then know that this isn’t what you want to see happen!
