About This Program

Foul Contenders is a programme presented as a single episode, forming part of the series that focuses on confronting animal‑related crime. The show follows the investigative team as they tackle a range of illicit activities, offering a snapshot of their day‑to‑day operations. In this instalment the crew concentrates on dismantling an illegal cock‑fighting ring. They work to infiltrate the network, gather the necessary evidence and coordinate a raid aimed at putting an end to the unlawful matches. Their efforts are portrayed as a concerted push to bring the perpetrators to justice and to halt the cruelty inflicted on the birds. At the same time, officer Sadler finds herself confronting a separate emergency when a dog becomes trapped in a burning building. She moves quickly into the blaze, manages to locate the animal and extracts it safely, preventing further harm. The rescue highlights her commitment to protecting vulnerable animals even in hazardous conditions. Parallel to Sadler’s rescue, Johnson is shown taking immediate and decisive action against a pet owner whose treatment of animals is deemed cruel. He intervenes without delay, confronting the owner and initiating the steps required to safeguard the affected pets. The episode thus weaves together multiple strands of animal welfare enforcement, illustrating the team’s resolve to address both organised crime and individual acts of cruelty.
