National Dogfighter Registry construction

In 2020, I caught Cleveland dogfighter Angelo McCoy using Craigslist to communicate with people breeding kittens and collecting cats for his dogs to tear apart.

Since then, I have learned a lot about dogfighting and dogfighters.

First and most important to the millions of people rehoming pets:

30 percent of dogfighters are women. Scroll through Alabama on the National Dogfighter Registry I started in June 2023 and you'll see that's true. Many, like these women in Chicago, are related.

Second, dogfighters do not stop killing dogs, cats, kittens, rabbits and farm animals unless they're in prison. An excerpt from my petition regarding Angelo McCoy , who'd been busted for dogfighting three times by the time I caught him killing cats and kittens:

While building my National Dogfighter Registry, I came across repeat offender Orlando Coulette, who was busted during the South Carolina raid of fall 2022. You may recall 20 dogfighters were busted and 275 pitbulls were seized. Coulette had been busted for dogfighting in 2006:

The worst things I've learned about dogfighting are:

If you scroll through my Reddit history, you'll see I've been trying to warn people about these heathens, who've been using dogfighters' dogs to make millions of dollars in donations.

"I know the 'Donations' section and the 'Take Action' section were down for a while," Wayne Pacelle, president of the Humane Society of the United States, said Wednesday . "Our server couldn't handle the weight of all the communication we were getting about this, and we're a very large organization. We're used to a lot of traffic."

When Bark Nation rescued 133 pitbulls from Detroit dogfighters earlier this year, it made over $20,000 in one day. So you can imagine how much money the national orgs make. If you google: ASPCA ProPublica, HSUS ProPublica and Best Friends ProPublica, you can see their taxes from the past several years.

The ASPCA reported $389,934,885 on its 2021 tax return;

HSUS, which sent Envigo beagles to dogfighters last summer, reported $259,519,738; and

Best Friends reported $125,326,390

That was during COVID, while businesses were closed and millions of people were laid off.

For the past three years, I have babysat Craigslist in five states; drafted the above petition; emailed politicians; tweeted and posted on Reddit regularly, trying to warn the millions of people getting rid of pets because of inflation, COVID-related evictions and other excuses; and I've created a National Dogfighter Registry because, as mentioned, dogfighters don't stop killing animals unless they're in prison, and the ASPCA is against national animal abuser registries. Until now, I've done all of this for free. But your donations would give me a little more free time to devote to research. You see, not all dogfighters make national or even local news. Many, like Latrell Williams and Leon Freeman of Louisiana, are only making their local police blotter. In a utopian world, I would raise enough money to post billboards showing women's mugshots on one, how to spot dogfighters on another and, of course, the fact dogfighters have been killing cats and kittens since at LEAST the 1970s.

We have a pet crisis in this country. Every shelter is full of dogfighters' pitbulls. Please help me warn people why.
