John,

We recently wrote to you about dogfighter Craig Boyd — who abused, starved, and
killed dogs in gruesome dogfighting operations — and walked free after less than
a year in jail, while his accomplices who procured dogs for him to abuse and
kill in fights were never held accountable. As a fellow animal lover, I share
your outrage at the injustice of seeing known members of dogfighting rings not
being held responsible for their cruel conduct, and not being prevented from
harming animals in the future.

Animal victims will not get justice until we change the law . And that means we need you.

Thanks to your record-breaking support, we have surpassed our goal of 1,000
donors to strengthen animal cruelty laws, crack down on dogfighting, and hold
abusers accountable for their crimes!

John, let’s see how far we can take this. Animal
victims still need your support — will you give today and help us reach 1,500
donors by August 31?

[[link removed]] Every year, animals are abused and killed because laws are poorly written and
enforced — and the violent criminals responsible often get a free pass. Existing
animal protection laws must be vigorously enforced, and new, stronger
protections must be established.

When you donate today, you’ll make certain that everyone involved in dogfighting
is held responsible for their crimes — and you’ll also help protect animals from
further abuse and deter other potential abusers from harming animals.

The Animal Legal Defense Fund has drafted a recommended amendment to state laws
that would enable prosecutors to charge those who organize, conduct, and profit
from animal fights under the respective state’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt
Organization (RICO) statute. If this measure succeeds, prosecutors would have greater power to pursue
justice for dogfighting victims who are abused and killed as part of this
organized criminal enterprise.

Your donation will help the Animal Legal Defense Fund fight to establish
comprehensive animal protection laws that will protect animals’ lives and hold
abusers accountable for their crimes.

You’ll help ensure that animal abusers like dogfighters are held responsible for
their crimes through prevention, intervention, prosecution, and ultimately, potent
sentencing packages combining restitution to animal victims, bans on animal
possession, supervised probation, and incarceration. Please stand with us in this fight – and help us push prosecutors to help end
these heinous crimes today. STOP ABUSE
