Florida’s Attorney General is asking the public for help to bust dog fighting rings.

A hotline has been set up for people who see or suspect dog fighting in their neighborhoods. Callers whose tips lead to the arrest and conviction of dog fighters will be eligible for a 5-thousand dollar reward.

The AG’s Director of Law Enforcement Relations Emery Gainey says callers don’t have to give their names.

“This is set up very similar to crime stoppers that it would maintain your anonymity by calling it in, and again if leads to the arrest and conviction you can be eligible for up to 5,000 dollars. We think this is going to be a great incentive.”

The hotline is operated by the Humane Society of the United States and is located in Washington D.C. To report dog fighting call 1-877-TIP-HSUS that’s 1-877-847-4784.

The phone number listed is incorrect. The last number should be a 7 instead of a 4. To report dog fighting call 1-877-TIP-HSUS that’s 1-877-847-4787.
