Are now on the pill for information has been Lonestar to free dead dogs were found dumped by a roadside. The league against sport says it suspects the dogs were being used for dog fighting and it's often a reward for information which would lead to a prosecution of organizations we've spoken to told us the dogs injuries are not consistent with dog fighting and the practice is now very rare that mutilated bodies were found in the village of Cranfield where we could speak 1st to Chris pit who is from the League Against Cruel Sports Good morning to Chris ordinarily So why do you believe these dogs are being used for dog fighting then. It's looking at the signs. I mean it is a kind of a it's a very difficult thing to identify I mean when you start to say certain things scarring we say ground down taste. Tears and these are things that we think a certain way that what's happening to dog fighting I mean there's a whole range of things you can look for with what we look for. Which is scarring of our scarring all bones probably broken bones. That kind of thing so it's not an exact science of folks like that of ours and the docs like other animals do suffer all sorts of peace in different ways. Deep illegal advice still going on with yes for I was there yes we've been doing some a lot of work into the lake. They had a. Strong academic report 23 years ago looked into it and sort of identified 3 levels of dog fighting in this country we you know we did a pilot program down in the. Air and bet your area a couple years ago way just within a couple of a couple of months we got about 40 pages of intelligence which suggested that of what was going on so we suggest. Is not. Something that you know whether it's a returning a bow and or warning about the know people start war a ballot box there are dogs or a voting usenets kind of thing but it does exist and exist on different levels from in other areas and there are areas where we are getting a lot of intelligence which says that is the case you know what the dog find actually involve them. So was there like a side is. Actually lived here I did for 3 different levels of air I mean people when you talk about the fires and you might think about what they were now I'll tell you there's a that's an outdoor something that has a pet which is like a an area with maybe wood around the house or auto tires but also blow into that lead in the mark so there while the referee and I set them on each other crowds cheering the outside that does the traditional top fighting if you like and and it does still exist as far as we're aware. So that's very hidden and no one takes place very often but it does exist on the docks in those cases often we see a tally say around the world. And there's no reason to suspect it doesn't take place in English well where the dogs are being bred like champions almost you know like if you create horses for racing and dogs that they were bred in that way and so you'd have champions a grand Chavez and they would be bred to produce other fighting dogs so the actual level of professional will most docs are saying but on a local level you're talking about is kind of going to have an area as a concept people where. Maybe you've got a dog or people get dogs for forum. For defense of status that kind of thing in urban areas and sometimes act and then translate into people got a lot of talk a lot of talk on this I look at and that's more frequent and it's happening. And then that kind of most people with attention and graduate into a more. Organized version which is they can park you know time get a group of people down there for some money on a cause and that's on there. And the top of all there so whatever Why is that the dogs are suffering suffering currently not just in the fire but also in the in the way they are trying. To actually actually tie caught in this because the doctor wanted to test the dogs and doesn't actually want for other dogs so this is the piece is horrible whichever way you look at it but with people like yourselves and the i.r.s. P.c.i. In the police cracking down on Friday it's becoming movie where at least there are more what more needs to be done to continue the fight against. Also I mean whether it's become a very moving or not a good thing with the emergence of this kind of like level dog fighting may well be sort of on the increase again we're trying to find that we're not what I was trying to conduct that right but we are there is a reality and we are getting all of this versions just going on and I want to find we certainly. Do need to say here is an increase in. Sentencing for the for the crime across a for this kind of thing because I would just say the mother calls it suggested last year that the senses would be increased from 66 months to 5 years because with this we say it's the top charges coming in you know getting collected getting out and then going to get another dog. So in relation to that we need to show the what we'd like to say to register people convicted of animal abuse and then another 6 a contentious thing that are human rights issues going on but I said someone could be called an animal in whatever way would stop forcing or or the animal cruelty. That are likely banned from having an edible but then I said we can just go and get another animal there's no there's no one stopping it and it's very hard to stop it so we like to say that stopped we will see the police really kind of being have to crack down these identify how serious dog fighting is because one the other key things is a witness we saying quite often the people involved the top dogs are also about other crimes in the New us I talk fighting is that right I felony we want to my major things and that's because the place identified that if you find doc part of your police or come to you on drugs you're for another crime. And also alongside that you've got quite often there are strong links on their favorite tools animals that probably also proto human beings so you know this domestic abuse it's all we talk parsing people involved of fighting that think that kind of thing as well you know personally very you know if you care very much rather talk it's also about why she was well Chris everyday join us money thank you very much indeed Well someone who has looked at the evidence and doesn't believe these dogs were uses dog bite is . Colleen Carson Bridger former police detective who now runs a Pac the take of agency tracking down stolen dogs Good morning to call in the morning Ali The dogs were found with coopted them fall teeth as we've heard and any your experience does that mean they were being used to know trying fighting dogs no not necessarily the practice of cutting away dogs. Has been very very common in certain parts of Europe 102 years since. My installation is these dogs have been brought into the country from abroad so that mutilation and the is probably took place when there was very very young and Ok is talk fine still going on I mean how many cases that you've been involved in. Yes it still is going on and what I'd say to that that to question Is the i.r.s. Pca the place and occasionally ass. Targeting individuals involved in dogfighting in are becoming terrorists or just I think the i.r.s. Pca prosecuted well over 100 people in the last say 10 or 15 years so is a problem but it's not a massive problem and the individuals involved in these kind of events are usually going to place anyway so prosecutions are usually pretty effective if they weren't involved in dogfighting why would they be dumped in this way because I've seen the photos and it's truly horrific. Well if you think that people are organizing dog fighting events are going to know immediately 3 dogs by the right side of their full investigation media attention that will draw an awful lot of attention to their illegal activities so it's been my experience to the docs are involved in dog fighting the subsequent by these people are usually buried or disposed off an incinerator they're not left where they are easily found and used as evidence to bring prosecutions and the reason I say that is with microchip in the fact that these dogs have probably been brought in from abroad it is not can be difficult to find out who owned those docs over the last few years and lead a trial back to the individuals that. Are case and we haven as a detective involved in this crime are we seeing more dog facts and how can you you know reassure us Palin is this morning. Well I think to reassure Petronas it is not a massive problem. I mentioned about the status of prosecutions it says is little it's about $5.00 to $8.00 people a year are prosecuted for getting involved in dog fighting and that might simply be someone that attends an event not organized so it's a very very small percentage of the population doing this. Overall you're listening stars have anything to worry about it's a very very small problem but in the take a friend of things called and I appreciate you joining us really thank you very much indeed it is 16 minutes past right is time now for the travel.
