$5,000 REWARD OFFERED The HSUS offers a reward of up to $5,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of anyone involved in dogfighting or cockfighting. If you have information about illegal animal fighting in your area, you can call HSUS’s animal fighting tip line at 877-TIP-HSUS. Your information will be kept confidential. If you have information about a suspected animal fighting operation, here are the steps to take: Call your local police department or animal control agency. Give them as many details as you can about the suspected animal fighting operation. You do not need to give your name to law enforcement to report your information. Tell the law enforcement agency about The HSUS’s reward program. You can also call The HSUS’s animal fighting tip line at 877-TIP-HSUS with information about possible animal fighting activity. In order to qualify for the rewards program, this must be an open case. Additionally, law enforcement officers (including ACOs and humane officers) are not eligible for the HSUS’s rewards program. Get a letter from law enforcement. If the suspected animal fighter is convicted, ask the law enforcement agency involved in the case to write a letter to The HSUS. The letter should state that your tip helped lead to the arrest and prosecution. The letter should be mailed, faxed, or emailed to: Animal Fighting Reward Program c/o The Humane Society of the United States 1255 23rd Street NW, Suite 450 Washington, DC 20037 64 The Humane Society of the United States Fax: 301-721-6414 crueltyresponse@humanesociety.org If you have questions about the reward program or want more information, please call us at 202-452-1100.
