Jamie Genereux, founder of PackLeader PetTrackers, has announced their resolution of the defamation lawsuit brought against Missing Dogs Massachusetts. His relentless and unwavering pursuit of this legal action reinforces PackLeader PetTrackers’ commitment to being able to provide top-notch professional expertise and assistance to lost pet owners and to upholding high ethical standards in the pet tracking and dog recovery industry.
The claims settled relate to allegations that through a systematic campaign on social media and via direct contact with lost dog owners, directors and volunteers of Missing Dogs Massachusetts have for years actively discouraged lost dog owners from using Genereux and his company by defaming, disparaging and casting doubt on his skills, knowledge and character and interfering with his business. Additional claims in the lawsuit are ongoing against Worcester Digital Marketing LLC, owned and operated by Aidan Kearney, also known as Turtleboy, where evidence gathered shows that Missing Dogs Massachusetts’ volunteers, with the knowledge of the organization’s President, collaborated with Turtleboy to widely disseminate false, misleading and disparaging information on Turtleboy’s website and social media channels in an effort to tarnish the reputation of Genereux and his company.
