Report Dogfighting
: $5000.00 REWARD Dogfighting pervades our communities, crossing cultural, economic, and geographic boundaries. The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) estimates that more than 40,000 people are involved in organized dogfighting in the U.S. and that hundreds of thousands participate in street fighting. Not only is dogfighting responsible for the suffering of countless animals, but it's also linked to other crimes such as gambling, illegal weapons possession and drug trafficking. If you have information or suspect someone is involved in dogfighting, please call the Burlington Police Department at 336-229-3500, 911, or Crimestoppers at 336-229-7100.
