Authorities say they've broken up a violent, multistate dog-fighting ring involving hundreds of dogs forced into brutal combat.
Authorities said Monday that a Baltimore grand jury returned indictments against 22 people involved in the ring, 14 of whom are in custody. They're all charged with animal cruelty, dog fighting and conspiracy.
The indictments came after authorities raided 18 locations in the Baltimore area and a compound in West Virginia.

ReplyDeleteLet me guess it is a cultural thing we will never understand. Sell that ticket again. Mike Vick all over again. When it is said and done none of them will do time watch. Only thing missing is the tail.

ReplyDeleteOur jails won't hold them all--
and that is going to be a Real
problem in the near future as
they let more & more of these
criminal go!!
It's heartbreaking to think what
these animals are subjected to!!
That is WHY we need to get our
legistators to pass stronger laws
for animal protection & higher penalties for for those who break
them!!!
The people who do this are heartless----they have no feeling
& would easily kill humans who
stand in their way. IT'S
BIG MONEY FOR THEM!
