Fifteen people were arrested for dog fighting after police were called to a Summit Street garage early Monday.
Someone called police after seeing people sneaking into a garage at a home on the 100 block of Summit Street about 3:45 a.m., said Sgt. William Ware of the Pontiac (Michigan) Police Department.
"After the officers got there, the dogs would not stop fighting," Ware said.
The practice of dog fighting is prevalent in the city even though it is illegal. It is part of an underground culture and is notoriously difficult to track.
There are very few arrests or prosecutions for dog fighting because fights typically take place in the early morning hours in pits set up in basements, garages or abandoned houses.
In the practice, dogs fight until one dies or is so severely injured it cannot continue.
Ware said gambling is involved in many of the fights.
So, do you want to be involved in this kind of thing? Two dogs died, 15 people were arrested and will probably go to jail. What’s the point? Why be involved in this kind of butchery? A dog is a pet, worker, and protector. Why make a dog fight for its life for no reason other than to gamble for money and to see animals tear each other up? It is sick. You are sick, if you support this kind of barbarity.
