South Carolina Governor McMaster and SLED Chief Keel are raising awareness about the issue of dogfighting in the state and urging the public to report any signs of this illegal activity. They highlighted the inhumane nature of dogfighting and its connections to organized crime and other violent activities. The “Dogfighting Unit” launched by SLED has already rescued over 500 dogs and arrested more than 100 people involved in these operations. Governor McMaster has requested $500,000 in recurring funds to support the care of confiscated animals. Recent actions by SLED resulted in the arrest of 11 individuals and the rescue of 160 dogs in a dogfighting investigation. This call for public assistance in combating dogfighting comes after ongoing efforts to crack down on this cruel and criminal activity. Citizens are urged to report any suspected instances of dogfighting to help protect innocent animals and dismantle these illegal operations.
