The bill amends Louisiana's laws regarding dogfighting by introducing new definitions and increasing penalties for violations. Specifically, it defines "bait dog" as a dog used to train another dog to be more aggressive for dogfighting purposes. The bill also states that the possession or use of a bait dog is admissible as evidence of dogfighting. Additionally, the minimum fine for dogfighting offenses is increased from one thousand dollars to five thousand dollars, with the maximum fine remaining at twenty-five thousand dollars.

Furthermore, the bill clarifies that owning or possessing a former bait dog for rehabilitative care is not prohibited under this law. These changes aim to strengthen the legal framework against dogfighting and enhance the protection of animals involved in such activities.
