On the ground at the largest raid on dogfighting industry in Costa Rica. What went down and how you can help. Trouble with links or images? View this message online. October 18, 2012
Dear Emmanouil,
Late last week, our team in Costa Rica was on the scene to rescue nearly 30 dogs from the filthy and inhumane conditions of an alleged breeding operation of fighting dogs. While that might not sound like a huge number, this is the largest raid of its kind in the country, as efforts to take on the dogfighting industry are significantly stepped up.
What we found was heartbreaking: Mostly adult dogs living in isolation at the end of chains in barren makeshift enclosures. Luckily for the six puppies we rescued, a few as young as two weeks old, they'll never experience what their parents have been through.
Learn about the rescue -- and what HSI Latin America is doing to fight the cruelty through hands-on rescue and better policy and enforcement.
Too often, the fate of these animals is death, which may come at the hands of the humans who force them to fight them or from their fatal wounds.
Drugs, guns, and even murder are as much a part of the operations as the dog fights themselves. It's a cruel and dangerous world, one that these dogs are forced to endure.
HSI is making new inroads and ramping up efforts to fight this terrible abuse. Learn about our work and see what you can do to help.
As always, I'm grateful for all you do for animals.
Sincerely, Andrew Rowan President and CEO Humane Society International
P.S. Please consider making a special donation today to help protect animals from cruelty -- from dogs who are forced to fight, to polar bears and lions who are hunted down and killed for trophies. And so many more.
