Dog-fighter busted
Home » Pets » Blog » Dog-fighter bustedCharges were announced today against a Gary firefighter accused of running a dog-fighting ring from his property late last month where police found electric prods, a treadmill, medications and 16 battered pit bulls.
Lake County, Ind. officials announced a 26-count indictment against Carlton Davis Jr., 33, of the 3700 block of West 48th Place in Calumet Township during a morning news conference, Lake County sheriff's police spokesman Mike Higgins said.
Included were felony charges of promoting or staging an animal fighting contest, using an animal in a fighting contest, promoting an animal fighting contest and purchasing or possessing an animal for an animal fighting contest, he said. Davis was also charged with multiple misdemeanors and had bond set at $14,500 on the charges.
Yikes. I wonder if there's any kind of rehabilitation that can be done for dogs rescued from that type of situation. Otherwise it isn't likely that they would find a home, and keeping them in a shelter probably wouldn't work, since now they're conditioned to attack any other dog. Then again, maybe they should just throw the idiot who was running the outfit in there with them. He would at least feed them for a week or so...
