Target: Brooke Rollins, United States Secretary of Agriculture
Goal: Prosecute and punish any individuals apparently tied to vicious dog fighting activities.
Authorities reportedly discovered four deceased dogs along a highway, each bearing what investigators suspect are wounds consistent with dog fighting. On the same day, several men pleaded guilty to charges related to a large-scale dog fighting operation that involved over two dozen canines, many of whom suffered fresh wounds and at least one who died from its injuries. These incidents highlight a chilling underground world in which innocent dogs may be forced to fight for human entertainment and profit.
Despite laws in all fifty states labeling dog fighting a felony, major arrests and discoveries continue to expose how prevalent and profitable the enterprise remains. Reports indicate some organizers cross state lines or hold clandestine events, often accompanied by significant sums of money exchanged in wagers. The physical, psychological, and emotional harm inflicted on dogs during these operations can be devastating, resulting in lasting trauma or death.
Protecting these animals—and sending a strong message that society will not tolerate such reported cruelty—requires an unwavering legal response. Swift, decisive action that prioritizes felony charges and significant penalties can help discourage offenders and safeguard vulnerable dogs. Sign below and demand a full investigation that holds accountable anyone found participating in organized dog fighting, ensuring these acts are met with the strongest punishments allowed by law.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Brooke Rollins,
We, the undersigned, are disturbed by recent reports of deceased dogs who apparently suffered injuries suspected to be related to dog fighting, as well as large-scale operations in which dozens of dogs reportedly endured fresh wounds and one died shortly after being rescued. These incidents reveal the continuing prevalence of this inhumane activity, even though dog fighting is considered a felony in every state.
When dogs are forced to fight for entertainment and profit, their suffering can be extreme, and the emotional and physical damage is often irreversible. Such apparent disregard for life and well-being must be met with powerful legal consequences.
We respectfully request that you pursue the maximum charges and penalties against all parties allegedly involved in organized dog fighting. In doing so, you will help send a message that our legal system stands firmly against cruelty and upholds the protection of innocent animals.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
