Should anyone in Mississippi have knowledge of dog fighting or cock fighting, they should contact either the local authorities or the FBI.

Forty-six states, including Mississippi, have made dog fighting a felony crime. If convicted, you face up to three years in prison and $5,000 in fines. Spectators face punishments of up to one year in prison and $3,000 in fines.

Once the state files its charges, the FBI may want a crack at participants.

Keeping you informed.
