Don Cherry wants people to donate to an animal rights group seeking to spare the lives of 21 dogs seized in an alleged dogfighting ring investigation in Tilbury
The Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has filed a court application to destroy the dogs arguing they pose a danger to the public.
Cherry took to Twitter Thursday to say Animal Justice is ''leading the charge'' to save the dogs.
The ''Coaches Corner'' host tweeted that anyone who wants to help should donate to Animal Justice.
An investigation last October by police and the Ontario SPCA in the Tilbury area led to more than 300 charges being laid against four people.
Chatham-Kent police say charges were laid against a fifth person this week after searches of two properties resulted in the seizure of another seven pitbull-type dogs.
