Law enforcement officers and residents can learn how to recognize signs of dogfighting and animal cruelty during an educational event on Oct. 24 at Broward County Animal Care.

The Miami Coalition Against Breed Specific Legislation will present “Stop the Hurt: Fighting Is Not in Their Nature” at noon at the facility, 2400 SW 42nd St. in Fort Lauderdale.

The presentation will cover warning signs of animal fighting, how to report suspected abuse and responsible pet ownership. It will also address common myths about certain dog breeds.

“Animal fighting hurts more than animals. It puts the safety and well-being of our entire community at risk,” said Dahlia Canes, the coalition’s director and founder. “When we give law enforcement officers and residents the knowledge to recognize and report cruelty, we can prevent suffering, save lives and build stronger, safer communities.”

Police departments, animal welfare professionals, neighborhood groups and residents are encouraged to attend. The program will help officers respond to animal-related cases and give residents practical information on protecting pets and reporting concerns.
