The Doggie Park

One of the great members of an online dog group that I belong to posted about a horrible act called “Trunking”.  The member gave some insight into this horrible act and with that I went to the search engines and looked around for more information. I believe that this is something that everyone should be aware of.  Please don’t turn away and ignore this rising problem.

Trunking: This is a new form of dog fighting that is sweeping the nation.  Two dogs are thrown into the trunk of a car where they will remain to fight till the death.

Those involved in dog fighting are being prosecuted hard and Trunking is a new way to continue to hold dog fights while avoiding prosecution. The owners are driving around with their music blaring while the dogs are locked in the trunk fighting. The music is used to drown out the sounds of the fighting dogs. When the fighting stops the owners get out and throw the dead dog out of the trunk and declare the living but seriously injured dog the winner.

Law enforcement is working hard to try and stop “Trunking” but with the nature of the crime it is hard to detect and make an arrest. Law enforcement needs our help in protecting these helpless dogs. Please if your suspect “Trunking”, dog fighting or any other illegal animal fighting, step up and help your local law enforcement out by reporting it.

To Report “Trunking”, dog fights or other illegal animal fights call: 877-TIP-HSUS
