Hi Richard. I rarely post but I read this thread constantly. If your county needs help with prosecuting animal cruelty or dog fighting you might try contacting the Animal Legal Defense Fund. Their Criminal Justice program is especially effective. Quote from their website - "ALDF’s Criminal Justice Program is staffed by attorneys, including former prosecutors, with expertise in animal protection law. Our attorneys provide free legal assistance to prosecutors and law enforcement agencies to ensure that state criminal anti-cruelty statutes are vigorously enforced and that those convicted of animal cruelty and neglect receive appropriate sentences. We work with state legislators to enact felony anti-cruelty statutes in states that do not yet have them and to upgrade existing laws in states that do. The Criminal Justice Program also maintains a nationwide database of animal cruelty cases and current and model animal protection laws available to prosecutors, legislators and researchers." In my experience they are more effective than the Humane Society.
Richard, I believe this was sent for a reason, odd that it shows up a day before this happened. I looked through their website and it appears that they have been successful in assisting DA's in Southern States in prosecuting and obtaining convictions for Animal Abuse. Perhaps your DA could use their expertise.
Also, perhaps through them this could gain National attention and end up helping to prevent future abuse.
