Humane Society Will Pay You to Rat Out Dog Fighters
In an effort to spread the compassion, and in light of recent dog fighting events (Michael Vick ring a bell?), the Humane Society of the U.S. has started up a new anti-dog fighting campaign.
The posters, stickers, and such (available free from HSUS by emailing officeservices@humanesociety.org) loudly offer $5,000 rewards for anyone who turns in people involved in the inhumane, animal death matches.
And it’s legit! The details are simple: see or hear about any event related to a fight; contact authorities (see below for specifics), and, so long as your information leads to arrest and conviction, the Humane Society will thank you for standing up for dogs with a reward of up to $5,000.
Here’s how to let someone know about an illegal dog fighting operation (from HSUS.org):
* Call your local police department or animal control agency, giving them as many details as you can. You are not legally required to give your name, however. Tell them about the Humane Society’s campaign.
* If the suspected animal fighter is convicted, ask the law enforcement agency involved in the case to write a letter on your behalf, stating that your tip helped lead to the arrest and prosecution of the convicted animal fighter. Mail or fax the letter to:
Animal Fighting Reward Program
