ABOUT THE TASK FORCE
Mission Statement
The New Hampshire Animal Fighting Task Force (NHAFTF) is a statewide coalition of law enforcement officers, humane investigators, animal care and control professionals, veterinarians and others. We believe that the only successful way to combat illegal animal fighting is to consolidate public and private resources and expertise to prevent, investigate and prosecute blood sport cases in the state of New Hampshire.Speaking Engagements
Task Force members are available to speak to groups or agencies about animal fighting. Speakers cover how to recognize the signs of animal fighting and how to stop this cruel blood sport from spreading in your community! Contact Joanne Bourbeau, New England Regional Director for the Humane Society of the United States, at 802-368-2790 or jbourbeau@hsus.org for more information.Training Workshops
The Task Force offers workshops that run anywhere from an hour to a day. They are available for law enforcement officials and humane investigators who are interested in learning how to investigate and prosecute animal fighting cases. The Task Force will also loan videos to your department for in-service training opportunities.
