Help Stop Animal Fighting

I thought you might be interested in this HSUS campaign to end the gruesome and cruel practice of animal fighting in the United States. Dogfighting and cockfighting are illegal in most states, but these activities are surprisingly widespread across the country, partly because of weak penalties in the federal law.

Currently, the House of Representatives is considering a federal bill called the Animal Fighting Prohibition Enforcement Act to increase the penalties for this barbaric practice from a misdemeanor to a felony.

If you go to the URL below you can find out more about this issue and send your own message directly to your representative about the Animal Fighting Prohibition Enforcement Act (H.R. 817).

Please take action today to help end animal fighting at:
