| Subject: Statist filth: Baltimore Pigs Bust Dog-Fighting Ring Mon Dec 22, 2014 9:58 pm | |
| Authorities recovered 225 dogs, including 50 puppies, and at least 20 weapons
After the raid of a violent, multistate dog-fighting ring, 22 people face charges and hundreds of dogs are in shelters, authorities said Monday.
A Baltimore grand jury returned indictments against 22 people involved in the ring, 14 of whom were in custody. They all face charges of animal cruelty, dog fighting and conspiracy.
The indictments came last week after a yearlong investigation. Authorities raided 18 locations in the Baltimore area and a compound in West Virginia. The ring also had links in New York and in Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina, where several alleged members were linked to a dog-fighting bust in April 2013.
In all, authorities recovered 225 dogs, including 50 puppies, and at least 20 weapons. At least one dog died after a fight, officials said.
