Illegal dog fighting is ‘rife’ across the West Country, the RSPCA has revealed, as they launch a campaign to stamp out the cruel practice.
The animal welfare charity have released new figures which show that, despite Covid pandemic lockdowns, the charity has been involved in investigating 77 cases across the West Country since 2019.
Experts at the charity said it was ‘staggering’ that something that’s been illegal for almost 200 years was still ‘so rife’ in the West Country.
