Rewards double to $5K for dog-fighting tipsters

Maryland’s attorney general and the national Humane Society want you to help them tackle dog fighting the way the federal government sacked NFL quarterback Michael Vick last summer.

On the first anniversary of Vick’s indictment on dog-fighting charges, Attorney General Douglas Gansler announced the reward would double for tips used to arrest and convict people involved in dog fighting. Vick is serving a 23-month prison sentence.

The reward will rise from $2,500 to $5,000. The humane society says it has paid out 20 rewards this year.
