Horrific dog fighting preparation centre shut down

AN alleged perpetrator of animal abuse from Jaca in Huesca Province, Aragon, has been detained by the Guardia Civil after being accused of training dogs for organised fights.

Police decided to take action following complaints from neighbours that dogs living on the man’s property would disappear for a few hours or days before returning in a sorry physical state.

Agents were able to collect evidence and even film some of the illicit blood sports taking place, and later used the footage to identify certain dogs and their owners.

A 32-year-old man was arrested and 16 dogs, all displaying signs of having been involved in fights, were transported to kennels owned by the provincial council.
