    Forced To Battle: Major Dog Fighting Ring Busted In West Baltimore
    November 20, 2013 5:50 PM

    BALTIMORE (WJZ)— A drug bust leads to a gruesome discovery of dead dogs and others being used in a dog fighting ring. The ring was found in a home in west Baltimore.
    BARCS officials say the dogs appear to be healthy overall. The alleged organizer of the ring was arrested but not formally charged.
    Sixteen pit bulls were rescued from inside a home in west Baltimore where police say blood was found on the walls and carpet.
    “There was an actual dog fighting ring down there in the basement,” said Lt. Dan Lioi.
    All of the dogs were taken to BARCS, where they continue to undergo treatment.
    “Some of them are very thin. Many of them have scarring; some have old scars, some are fresh and they are consistent with dog fighting,” said Jen Brause.

    “There is dog fighting that goes on every single night and day of the week in Baltimore,” said Erick Vocke.
    Vocke owns Peyton, a pit bull terrier whose fighting days are over after he was rescued three years ago, a mile away from Tuesday’s bust.
    “He was 28 pounds. He was emaciated; he had scarring from his tail to his nose,” Vocke said.
    Peyton still has signs on his face from injuries sustained in a dog fighting ring. A piece of his ear was bitten off and the speckles on his face were not from his fur but from being bitten by other dogs.
    The name of the man who may be responsible for running the ring has not been released by police but BARCS officials say he is no stranger to animal cruelty.
    “I did hear he had been in trouble before for animal cruelty and it just goes to show there needs to be more punishment,” said Brause.
    Police say they aggressively investigate all cases of animal cruelty.

    Always. What amazes me is that drug guys bother with pit bulls or []. Seems the game puts their drug operation in serious jeopardy.

    That article sounds fishy too me, as they aint even mention what kind of drugs where found or how much drugs where found or how much drug money was found. They only talked about the dogs in detail thats bout it but no mention of the drugs.

    Its like there using the drugs as an excuse to fuel and support there reasons for going after dog fighters.

    i still see your thinking good . sounds like they used a drug warrant to go after the dogs . you will also get the EMS or fire department to see the dogs and then 2 -3 weeks later here they come and they haven't been finding drugs of just finding personal amounts .

    It also could be that drug busts don't make for as sensational headlines as a "dogfighting ring". To me dogfighting has become the new crack to news outlets and anyone else looking to get attention. Drug dealers get busted everyday without much fanfare, but say dogfighting you get headlines, laws passed, taxes raised, freedoms taken all to fight the made up "epidemic".
