Reward For Reporting Dog Fighting, Your Name Is Protected

Joe , I have just returned from Sheriff Mike Lewis office after delivering posters we obtained from the ASPCA . While on their website I discovered they were offering a $5,000.00 reward for information leading to the arrest & conviction of dogfighters. The person reporting this crimes name is protected!!!!( A very,very important issue here, since most will not report out of fear of their name being disclosed )

These posters are FREE and all one has to do is contact: The Humane S. of the U.S.--2100 L. St. NW--Washington, DC 20037 or phone 202-452-1100x3300 & ask for the free posters to be sent to them so they may help distribute them .

I would love to see this community reach out to help the Sheriffs Dept. by ordering posters themselves, & going around to various businesses to post them . While speaking with Mike, we were told to look at various poles, should one post them there, to observe seeing if posters had been ripped out, as this indicates it would not be a good place to post them.

I can only sing praises for what Sheriff Lewis & his men are doing to protect our community. With crime on the rise, we the people need to help in any way we can to offer support to these men. Men who put their life on the line each & every day to make Salisbury a safer place to live & whose crime rate is definately on the rise!!

Remembering, it is a proven fact, people who start by harming animals go on to much more violent crimes. We in this County need to demand stronger punishment for those who do so!!! Dogfighting, gambling, drugs & crime are all strongly connected!!!

Joe, I ask for your input here to your readers for their support to get these posters ordered & out there!!!

Thanks so much & I know Sheriff Lewis & his men will greatly appreciate the public support!
