Since the far-reaching, multi-state dogfighting raid in late August – involving 13 locations and the seizure of 367 dogs – your HSUS Animal Rescue Team and animal fighting experts have been doing all sorts of follow up on this and other cases. They have been on the ground for three additional raids, seizing another 42 dogs that had been destined for fighting pits. One of our animal fighting experts was instrumental in bringing the 14th suspect to justice and worked closely with the FBI in the days leading up to the seizures in Dothan and Abbeville, Ala.

We are working hard in Congress to secure enactment of the Animal Fighting Spectator Prohibition Act, to build on the existing federal law against animal fighting by making it a crime to attend or bring a child to a dogfight or cockfight. With strong partisan support in both chambers, that provision should be enacted as part of the Farm Bill, if the Congress takes final action on that larger measure.

When it comes to animal fighters, our motto at The HSUS is “nowhere to run, nowhere to hide.”
