HOW YOU CAN HELP

3. Write letters expressing your concern

One of the best ways to effect change is by letting our elected officials know that dog fighting is an issue we care about. A well written letter to the alderman or police commander in your district, with a copy of the same letter going to the Mayor’s office, can go a long way. A point to remember: letters that read as “too emotional” may be taken as “animal rights extremist” and disregarded. However, well written letters which highlight concern, not just for the dogs involved, but for the children, as well as the far reaching effects on the communities (gang related, weapons, dangerous dog issues, etc.) are much more likely to be taken seriously.
