Animal Cruelty & Fighting Investigations     Printer Friendly   e-mail this page   Humane Society University works closely with The HSUS's Animal Cruelty and Fighting Campaign to increase educational opportunities and training for members of the legal system, such as law enforcement and prosecutors, to put animal abusers behind bars and break up organized animal fighting rings. While animal abuse is often hidden behind the scenes, it remains shockingly prevalent, despite the fact that it is illegal everywhere and is a felony in 43 states. Animal fighting—including dogfighting, cockfighting, and hog-dog fighting—is a particularly insidious form of animal cruelty that is on the rise in some parts of the country.
