PALMDALE, Calif. (AP) - Authorities have arrested 12 men during a raid of a Southern California home where dog fights were suspected of being held.
Los Angeles County Sheriff's Lt. Larry Gregg said deputies went to a house near Palmdale Saturday after receiving a tip made to the Humane Society. He said the raid occurred just as the suspects were preparing to weigh the dogs for a fight.
City News Service reports that deputies seized eight dogs, three of which bore obvious scars. They also recovered scales, a pit believed to be used for fighting, three treadmills and "fight bars," which are pieces of wood used to separate fighting dogs.
The suspects were arrested on suspicion of animal cruelty and dog fighting. They were being held in lieu of $20,000 bail.
