Sport of dogfighting on rise and enforcement climbs
The Associated Press reports dogfighting, illegal in all states and a felony in 47, is increasing beyond its Deep South base. Investigators note a surge in raids, online sales of gear, and magazines, with at least 40,000 breeders or owners identified. A 2003 spree yielded dozens of arrests including James Fricchione, publisher of Sporting Dog Journal, whose seizure produced a list of over 5,000 subscribers.
