SB 5128: Dogs for fighting
Using dogs for fighting.
Summary
- It is a gross misdemeanor to sell or purchase, provide premises for sale or purchase, or aid or abet in the sale or purchase of a dog with the intention of using the dog in a fighting exhibition. Mere ownership or possession of any animal does not create a presumption that the animal is owned or possessed for any purposes prohibited under the animal fighting statute.
