PHILADELPHIA (CBS)– The Pennsylvania SPCA is working overtime this morning, raiding homes across the city breaking up what officials are calling the largest dogfighting ring they’ve ever seen in this city.
Officials say this dogfighting ring has been under surveillance for awhile. And late last night, early this morning, the Pennsylvania SPCA with Philadelphia police acting on a tip that fights were happening, raided a home on the 2600 block of Gerritt Street.
Pennsylvania SPCA director of law enforcement, George Bengal says when they entered the house, there were around 25 people watching a fight in progress.
“They actually ran, and left the dogs in the ring fighting, unattended when we entered the property.”
Those two dogs that were fighting, Bengal says are in pretty bad shape. In all six dogs were taken from that house. And 15-20 people were arrested facing animal cruelty and felony dogfighting charges.
At about 7 a.m. Monday, officials raided another home — this one in Kensington — where Bengal says they found 12 dogs stacked in cages in the basement alongside a collection of drugs, weapons, and dog fighting paraphernalia.
I fucking knew it! I guarantee Michael Vick has something to do with this, he's been playing too well. Do you think it's a coincidence that the largest dog fighting ring ever seen in Philly pops up a few months after Vick becomes the starting quarterback of the Eagles? Vick just couldn't help himself. He was back on top, the toast of the NFL, everything was going great, so he decided he would open the Philly version of the Bad Newz Kennels. He has to be behind this.
I bet Vick never gets caught, though. Eagles fans are pretty serious. There is no way that they are going to let Vick miss any games over this mess. I wouldn't be surpised if 1000 hard core Eagles fans step forward, Spartacus style, and take the rap for this one. I can see a tear coming to Vick's eye now.
