Have you ever heard of a bloody and brutal race against dogs? In the United States, such conduct is considered a felony for breach of the federal constitution. However, motivated by profit, there are still people who are in danger of engaging in the criminal activity of fighting dogs underground. According to overseas media, a criminal group suspected of fighting dogs across the state has been successfully captured by the police in Long Island in recent days, 10 suspects have been arrested and 89 dogs have been successfully rescued.
The District Prosecutor of Sufok County, Sini, announced this significant progress. He noted that the gang of dogs had been discovered on an unprecedented scale, covering various areas, including Naso County, New York City and Canton and Massachusetts. The police successfully infiltrated the group, completely dismantled it and rescued 89 trapped dogs. This action demonstrates the firm commitment of the police to combat underground dog fighting.
Sini further disclosed that investigators had gathered conclusive evidence of the alleged abuse of animals by the 10 defendants, including the brutal killing of dogs who had been injured or underperformed during the competition, the imposition of electroshock penalties on escaped dogs, the unauthorized treatment of injured dogs and the inappropriate fixation of females for reproductive purposes. In addition, he showed cash seized by the police at the dog fight scene, dog chains, racing command guns, steroid drugs, dog houses, running machines for dog training, and books specifically designed to train dog fights.
The 10 accused, aged between 32 and 74 years, lived on Long Island, New York. According to internal sources, none of them admitted to the alleged crimes and claimed that they were merely dogs. They were all released on bail. However, according to ABC ' s overseas media reports, the defendants began training dogs in fighting when they were only six months old.
When these dogs reach adulthood, their diets become extremely irregular and their living conditions are very harsh in order to strengthen their resilience, agility and bite. Dogfighters organize competitions carefully, taking into account dog weight, gender and many other factors. The owner of the dog is required to pay a fee for admission, and the winner will receive the bonus alone. These games sometimes last for hours, and the defendants even place their bets on the results.
According to the prosecution, of the 89 dogs rescued this time, a large proportion were bit dogs. They are duly housed in shelters by the American Society for the Prevention of Animal Abuse and receive professional medical care. However, as the suspects have not waived their rights as owners of the dogs, the dogs will not be adopted by the public until the case is completely closed.
In Long Island, 81 dogs associated with the gang were rescued by law enforcement personnel, while eight more were rescued in Conzhou. In addition, Sydney announced that a special jury would be formed to investigate crimes against animals and proposed legislation to severely combat animal abuse. The prosecution disclosed that many of the dogs had scars, scars and broken teeth, apparently linked to dog fights. Blandre, Commissioner of the American Society for the Prevention of Animal Abuse, stated that the rescued dogs were currently receiving professional care and were expected to be adopted by loving and responsible families after the case had ended, becoming the happy and trusted companions they had always wanted.
