The police suspect the three men in the conduct of dog fighting on long island to earn money on betting. As reported by the police, such events are full of cruelty and end with the death of one of the animals.
34-year-old Richard Davis, 49-year-old Martin Newkirk and 26-year-old TYCHEM Wheeler bred pit bull Terriers and kept them in appalling conditions, with trained dogs to fight to the death.
It is learned that the suspects operated the so-called nurseries across the district. The attorney General of new York Eric Schneiderman objects to the place where he kept dogs called by this designation.
«It was not real nurseries, he says. – It was a prison of torture for countless dogs.»
Police found 36 animals half of which were puppies. The youngest dog was only a week. According to police, the 3 dogs will have to go through euthanasia.
Schneiderman said that the dogs were given substances that increase productivity, from time to time made to wear vests with cargo and run on the treadmill to get in better shape.
According to estimates by the attorney General, in the US at least 40 thousand people are involved in illegal fights. The organizers of such events can earn tens of thousands of dollars for one night.
