Think there's a Michael Vick living next door to you? Have you noticed roosters with spikes on their feet coming from your Ybor City neighbor's house?
Well, the state of Florida now has an animal fighting tip line, and it could net you a handsome reward.
From the Florida Attorney General's press release:
Attorney General Bill McCollum today announced that Floridians can now report animal fighting and be eligible for a reward of up to $5,000 by calling The Humane Society of the United States’ animal fighting tip line at 877-TIP-HSUS (847-4787). The toll-free tip line was first established in Georgia by The HSUS and Atlanta-based corporate security firm Norred & Associates Inc. Because of its success, and with the support of Florida’s Attorney General, the tip line has been expanded to help combat dogfighting and cockfighting in Florida.
