The sentencing for James and Jeanne Fiarris, the Salupa, Okla. couple who pleaded guilty to three felony dogfighting charges earlier this year, is scheduled for Friday, November 24. The Fiarrises were arrested last November after investigators found a blood-splattered dogfighting arena, dogfighting equipment and fifty-three pit bulls on their property. Although investigators confiscated the dogfighting equipment, they failed to confiscate the pit bulls and the Fiarrises subsequently sold off almost all of the dogs, most likely to other dogfighters. Although it is too late for the dogs who were sold, it is now essential that Creek County recognize and punish the inexcusable cruelty of organized dogfighting by imposing a significant sentence on the Fiarrises , who face up to ten years in prison and a $25,000 fine for each felony conviction.
WHAT YOU CAN DO:
Write to the judge in this case and respectfully urge him to sentence the Fiarrises to considerable jail time and to prohibit them from owning or harboring animals.
