Police Find Large Dog Fighting Ring in Flint

On Jan 28, police found 15 pit bulls in what they believe was a large dog fighting ring in Flint. The dogs were found inside a home near Saginaw and Stewart Ave.

FANG (Flint Area Narcotics Group) weren't looking for a dog fighting ring at the time but that's what they found while issuing a warrant during a controlled substance investigation.

According to MLive, along with seizing a large amount of cocaine and a firearm, detectives located 15 pit bulls in multiple rooms inside the residence and in the back yard.

It was very obvious what was going on especially after discovering a weighted dog sled, dog treadmills, and other items related to dog fighting rings.

The dogs are safe and being taken care of while the investigation continues.

If you or anyone you know has information dealing with the situation, please contact the Flint Area Narcotics Group at 810-233-3689 or you can always remain anonymous by contacting Crime Stoppers at 1-800-422-JAIL(5245) or at CrimeStoppersofFlint.com.

I just don't understand the attraction to dog fighting, it makes zero sense to me. I'm always blown away when I see a story like this because I have a hard time wrapping my head around the idea of people doing something like this to an animal.
