Over 400 Dogs Spared a Life of Unimaginable Suffering
Target:Governors of Arkansas, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Texas Sponsored by:Care2
This past week, up to 450 dogs were seized during raids in seven states. Animal welfare groups call this the largest simultaneous raid of dogfighting operations in U.S. history.
Dogfighting operations typically are not small acts of animal cruelty, but part of organized criminal networks. Animal welfare advocates worked with federal authorities for 18 months on this seizure. So far, 26 people have been accused of cruelties ranging from denying animals medical treatment to shooting poorly-performing dogs in the head and either throwing their bodies into a river or burning them in a barrel.
Each rescued dog will be evaluated in hopes of placing as many as possible in adoptive homes.
Stand up and salute the governors of the seven states involved. They should continue with this good work!
We took action on “Over 400 Dogs Spared a Life of Unimaginable Suffering”!

I am not an American citizen, however I want to profoundly thank all the Governors mentioned and all people involved in this raid. Thank You Very Much. This may only scratch the surface of the dog fighting industry, but even Rome was not built in a day. I pray this becomes an international trend.

Dogfighting is a horribly inhumane and cruel practice that needs to be ended immediately. Cruelty to animals is a very serious issue and people need to learn that it is not okay. By more srtict law enforcement and education, hopefully, people will learn.

Dear Governor [Name],
I am writing you today to share my deepest gratitude to you, your attorney general, the state and local officials and caring volunteers who aided in the rescue of over 400 innocent dogs from a life of unimaginable suffering in the dogfighting ring.
Although this seizure is the largest of its kind in U.S. history, it unfortunately only scratches the surface of the national dogfighting industry. Please do everything in your power to continue to eradicate this horrible crime in your state.
Sincerely,
Godfrey J Sceberras
