Gene Rossi Quoted in CBS News: “Inside Pam Bondi's Aggressive Push to Crack Down on Animal Cruelty Crimes”

Gene Rossi was quoted in a CBS News article titled “Inside Pam Bondi's Aggressive Push to Crack Down on Animal Cruelty Crimes.” The article discusses former Attorney General Pam Bondi’s unusually fast and aggressive approach to animal welfare enforcement than the federal government has previously taken.

"An attorney general should try to avoid any appearance where your personal preferences, your personal predilections and your contacts with your friends are a major motivating factor in which crimes to pursue and prosecute," said Rossi.

"This is not about whether we like dogs. This is not about whether we like rescue dogs. Everyone, with few exceptions, loves dogs," he added. "But this is about the priorities and the policies of the United States Department of Justice and the actions of the attorney general in executing her duties, and this appears to me that she is letting her personal relationships drive the priorities of the Department of Justice."
