    Man gets 7-15 years for dog-fighting ring
    Published: Wed, December 18, 2013 @ 11:24 a.m.

    WEST CHESTER, Pa. (AP) — A suburban Philadelphia man who ran a dog-fighting operation out of the family home has been sentenced to 7-1/2 to 15 years behind bars.

    The Chester County sentencing judge Tuesday said he found 34-year-old Shane Santiago’s treatment of animals incomprehensible.

    Santiago has been incarcerated since his arrest Dec. 5. He previously pleaded guilty to multiple charges of animal cruelty, child endangerment and other counts.

    The dog-fighting ring was run out of Santiago’s home in West Brandywine Township. Authorities say his children were exposed to grisly scenes including an animal being stomped to death by a group of men and a pit bull eating another dog.

    Santiago’s wife Laura Acampora was sentenced last week to 23 months behind bars for failing to shield her children from the gruesome enterprise.

    People know there are more and more raids. But what few seem to get is the prison time is getting worse.

    I have culled like everyone else. Part of breeding. But anyone doing this like mike vick deserves time. I would not deal with, defend or watch anyone stomp a dog. That's just pathetic. If your mad or embarrassed by your animal that your issue. Don't measure your dick with your dogs.

    Man people just don't want to believe that matching dogs will bring time. Everyone thinks they are different and then they get popped and act shocked when the time gets handed down

    It dont matter about priors, here in Pa, Felony animal cruelty or conspiracy to commit animal cruelty carry a max of 7yrs per charge and these motherfuckers in the keystone state dont fuck around. Get caught and they will fuck you good here.... With or without priors...
