Ending Dogfighting (NAPSA)—To keep animal fighting—and what can be done to stop it—in the minds of Americans, The HumaneSociety of the United States (HSUS) has an Ani- mal Fighting Rewards program. The organization will give up to $5,000 for information leading to an animal-fighting conviction, turning the information into busts of what it calls some of the nation’s most significant illegal dogfighting and cockfighting operations. a Thanks to concerned humans, many dogs have been saved from vicious dogfighting rings. “Because animalfighting is conducted in the shadows among a tightly-knit network of crimi- nals, it has been difficult to infiltrate,” says John Goodwin, the HSUS’s manager of animal fighting issues. “With our new rewards program, we’ve found a perfect tool to counteractthis.” People who suspect dogfighting or cockfighting activity should call the animalfighting tip line at (301) 258-1459. They should also call the police and mention the reward program. For more information, visit www.humanesociety.org/rewards.
