To ALL Los Angeles County and surrounding area residents please share this post whether you have a dog or not. This effects us ALL. Thank you!
Starting tomorrow LA County and surrounding area residents will be able to report dogfighting information via email through standupforpits.us by clicking on the REPORT DOG FIGHTING HERE button on the home page or you can call the SUFP dogfighting tip line at 1-877-777-2585. Any and all information goes DIRECTLY to investigators NOT to the SUFP Foundation. The information you provide investigators will be private and confidential and could qualify you for a reward of up to $5000 if that information leads to the arrest and conviction of anyone involved in dogfighting which will be paid for by the @humanesociety. For people with information about dogfighting not in the Los Angeles area call 1-877-TIP-HSUS which is the national tip line. ONLY use the LA County number if you have information DIRECTLY related to dogfighting. All other animal related issues call your local animal control. You can find you local animal control by going to GOOGLE, typing in your city name and the words “Animal Control” or contact your local law enforcement. We suggest programming all these numbers in your phone ahead of time so you always have them with you. If you are witnessing a dog fight in progress IMMEDIATLY call 911.
Dog fighting is one of the most heinous acts of violence and cruelty towards animals there is. It is NOT cultural, it is EVERYWHERE being done by people of all ages, ethnicities and tax brackets.
Factually, what makes our communities unsafe are violent animal abusers. Men, women, teens, veterinarians, school administrators, nurses and yes even multimillionaire pro athletes have all been arrested and convicted of dogfighting. It is being done by all kinds. Dogfighting happens in the country, in the city, in Uhauls, behind grocery stores, in basements, trails, trunks of cars…wherever they feel they won’t get caught.
Factually, people who abuse and kill animals will likely and most often times DO go onto commit crimes against humans. If we want to protect our communities, ourselves and our loved ones, EVERYONE needs to be diligent in this effort. #standupforpits#enddogfighting #reportdogfighting
