Going Undercover for Animals

Thursday, October 16th, 7:00-8:30pm
PHS/SPCA Auditorium

Meet PHS/SPCA’s new Major Crimes Investigator, Ken McCloud, and learn about his landmark work as a former Special Agent for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Office of Law Enforcement.  For over 30 years, Ken specialized in numerous complex undercover operations involving live and endangered wild species.  His skill and tenacity resulted in crackdowns on animal trafficking and imprisonment for dozens of organized crime poachers and smugglers.

  • Hear how he successfully infiltrated the world’s biggest wildlife smuggling cartels despite life-threatening circumstances
  • Discover the plight of rare reptiles, mammals and birds taken illegally from the wild for profit
  • Have a look at confiscated wildlife products such as leopard skins, stuffed crocodilians, canned whale meat, walrus and elephant ivory

Ken will entertain you with gripping stories, give a PowerPoint presentation from the International Wildlife Forensics Conference, and answer questions from the audience.  Hidden cameras and false ID’s, weapons and drugs, loose cobras and alligators… this talk covers unforgettable territory!  Don’t miss the opportunity to get acquainted with a truly special investigator and his efforts to protect animals.

Held in the PHS/SPCA Auditorium, 12 Airport Blvd., San Mateo.  Suggested $5 donation at the door.  For more info, call (650)340-7022 x369.
