Take Dog Fighting Seriously
Target: U.S. Governors
Sponsored by: ASPCA
Although dog fighting is a felony in all 50 United States, there are still some states that don't take it seriously.
As with any other illegal underground activity, it's impossible to determine how many people may be involved in dog fighting, but estimates are in the tens of thousands. This brutal blood sport is a pastime for rich and poor alike, and dog fighting has been reported in urban, suburban and rural settings in all regions of the country.
And unfortunately, because dog fighting is such a secretive enterprise, it makes it difficult for law enforcement to infiltrate. A dog fight investigation requires many of the same skills and resources as an undercover narcotics investigation, a challenge for many local agencies.
Tell your state governor that law enforcement should have the resources and motivation to take this crime seriously. Also, there should be local or state task forces to ensure a collaborative approach to ending this heinous sport forever.
