    Over 350 dogs taken in AL...

    Not sure why these dogs were removed other that because they were pit bulls… They even say there was no fight activity going on and then said it was more of a “puppy mill” type operation?

    But of course they have to take the dogs and stick them in a shelter where they will rack up huge boarding fees and then will be put to sleep because the owner cannot pay.

    More than 350 dogs seized in raid

    Montgomery, AL - A multi-state dog-fighting raid ended in Alabama after local, state and federal law enforcement agencies seize 367 dogs.

    The pit bull terriers were found tethered to heavy chains, many with fleas. For now the dogs have been taken by ASPCA and HSUS responders and they're getting the food and water and medical care.

    Investigators say they were not having the dog fights at these locations, in fact they were more like puppy mills. So far 10 people have been arrested on charges of dog-fighting in addition to illegal gambling and officials expect even more arrests.

    Representatives with the FBI, Humane Society and American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals along with federal and local officials worked together in the raid.

    "Locations" not all were seized from the same place. And IMO they used the term "like puppy mills" because it is becoming more common that folks are getting busted without evidence to support dog fighting.

    Another catchy phrase to tug at the bleeding hearts.
