PROJECT: SERIOUS VIOLENT CRIMES AGAINST ANIMALS - ILLEGAL DOGFIGHTING

PLEASE SHARE THIS PUBLIC DOCUMENT

 

The dogfighting scene in South Africa is a multifaceted issue that intertwines organised crime, animal cruelty, and societal dilemmas. Addressing this challenge necessitates a collaborative approach involving law enforcement, animal welfare organisations, and robust community engagement to foster awareness and deter these heinous acts.

 
  • PREMEDITATED CRUELTY:

    • At its core, dogfighting is a premeditated act of cruelty that involves forcing two dogs to fight for entertainment, often resulting in severe injuries or death.

    • This barbaric practice not only constitutes animal cruelty but is also a punishable offence under South African law.

  • ORGANISED CRIME SYNDICATES:

    • Many dogfighting operations are linked to organised crime.

    • These syndicates may strategically breed and train dogs specifically for fighting, creating an illicit market that thrives on illegal gambling and perverse entertainment.

    • The network can be highly sophisticated, coordinating dogs' breeding, training, and fighting with a business-like approach.

  • COVERT AND CLANDESTINE OPERATIONS:

    • Dogfighting events are usually conducted in hidden locales to escape law enforcement scrutiny.

    • Such venues can vary widely—from abandoned buildings to secluded private properties—often heavily guarded to prevent detection.

    • Participants employ various tactics to maintain secrecy, making law enforcement efforts challenging.

  • EXPLOITATION OF YOUTH: 

    • Alarmingly, instances have been reported where minors, some as young as 10 years old, are drawn into the world of dogfighting, either as participants or as audiences.

    • This raises significant questions about the normalisation of violence among youth and the potential long-term impact on their psyche and societal values.

  • RESCUE AND ADVOCACY EFFORTS:

    • Organisations like the Cape of Good Hope SPCA play a vital role in combating this heinous activity.

    • They conduct thorough investigations and orchestrate rescue missions to save dogs from the horrific conditions they endure.

    • Initiatives such as "Operation Bite Back" are aimed at raising public awareness and actively reducing the occurrence of dogfighting and closely related offences.

  • LEGAL CHALLENGES AND FRAMEWORK: 

    • The legal landscape in South Africa prohibits buying, selling, or importing dogs for fighting purposes.

    • Furthermore, inciting or permitting animals to engage in combat is illegal.

    • However, enforcing these laws proves to be a complex task mainly due to the secretive nature of such operations, which often outsmart law enforcement agencies.

 

REPORTING OF ILLEGAL DOGFIGHTING:

  • SPCA (SOCIETY FOR THE PREVENTION OF CRUELTY TO ANIMALS):

    • The SPCA operates numerous branches throughout South Africa, dedicated to the welfare and protection of animals.

    • You can contact your nearest SPCA branch to report any suspected dogfighting incidents.

    • They have the resources and authority to investigate and take appropriate action.

  • LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT:

    • Your local police station is also equipped to deal with reports of animal cruelty, including illegal dogfighting.

    • They can initiate legal proceedings against those involved in these unlawful activities.

  • ANIMAL WELFARE ORGANISATIONS: 

    • Beyond the SPCA, various animal welfare organisations are committed to fighting against animal cruelty in South Africa.

    • These organisations can offer support and guidance, helping you report incidents and raise awareness about the importance of protecting animals.

  • SSS SPECIALISED SECURITY SERVICES:

    • When reporting suspected illegal dogfighting, it is crucial to provide as much detailed information as possible.

    • This includes specifics about the location, descriptions of any individuals or groups involved, and other pertinent details.

 

 Heightened public awareness and prompt reporting are essential components in the battle against this cruel practice and will contribute to the protection and welfare of animals in our communities. It is vital to take action and stand up against cruelty. We must foster a safer environment for all animals.


In summary, we must address this challenge with a collaborative approach that involves law enforcement, animal welfare organisations, and community engagement to foster awareness and deter these heinous acts.

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: All potential clients need to be aware that owing to the nature of our work as specialist investigators there are people who have been caught on the wrong side of the law - who are trying to discredit me - Mike Bolhuis and my organisation Specialised Security Services - to get themselves off the hook.

We strongly recommend that you make up your minds concerning me and our organisation only after considering all the factual information - to the exclusion of hearsay and assumptions. Furthermore, you are welcome to address your concerns directly with me should you still be unsatisfied with your conclusions. While the internet provides a lot of valuable information, it is also a platform that distributes a lot of false information. The distribution of false information, fake news, slander and hate speech constitutes a crime that can be prosecuted by law. Your own research discretion and discernment are imperative when choosing what and what not to believe.


STANDARD RULES APPLY: Upon appointment, we require a formal mandate with detailed instructions. Please take note that should you not make use of our services – you may not under any circumstance use my name or the name of my organisation as a means to achieve whatever end.
