Is Reward Money To Stop DogFighters Legitimate?

     Reward money to stop dogfighters is an easy way for an organization to give the illusion it is concerned about dogfighting and wants to stop it, without having to do anything meaningful or substantive. It is naive to believe that an organization posting these reward money signs is unaware of the very poor police response to dogfighting, and that hardly anyone will ever collect a reward. Animal organizations that purport to investigate animal cruelty are ineffective at best, and oftentimes do harm, thereby further ensuring the rarity of reward money. Few dogfighters ever get arrested for dogfighting because of the poor police response and inappropriate and exploitative response by many animal organizations.
      An organization posting signs offering reward money leading to the arrest of dog fighters gets free publicity. It is a great marketing tool. It is more than likely a way to fundraise without directly asking for money.
      For the many years that reward money has been offered to catch dogfighters, how much reward money has actually been paid out?
      If anyone cared to check, they would find out it is a ridiculously small amount. Because animals lack true advocates, it is doubtful anyone will check. Even worse, the poor police response and widespread exploitation by a number of animal organizations will continue, precisely because animals lack true defenders and advocates.
