Dear [ Representative ],
Animal fighting is a cruel and vicious activity that is linked to numerous other crimes and public safety concerns. Please co-sponsor the Animal Fighting Prohibition Enforcement Act (H.R. 817) and do all you can to get this important legislation enacted early in the 109th Congress.
Current law provides only misdemeanor penalties, which are too weak to provide a meaningful deterrent. This bill will establish felony penalties to help put an end to inhumane animal fighting. Thank you for your attention and support.
