Summary
This guide is for community members and 501(c) non-profits and is presented through a partnership between the COPS Office and the ASPCA and will provide the necessary tools to recognize the violent crime of dogfighting in your community, handle animals involved, partner with law enforcement, and build animal task forces within communities. It includes background on those who are involved, and on the nature of this crime-how it often co-occurred with other illicit activity such as illegal gambling, drugs, illegal weapons possession, parole and probation violations, and child endangerment.
