When law enforcement officials descended upon a house in Paterson, N.J., they fully expected to find a large cache of narcotics. When they saw bloodstained walls inside a first-floor bedroom, they realized theyd discovered something much worse.
Seeking the source of all that blood, officers searched the home. They found 18 pit bulls living in appalling conditions. In the basement, 15 young pit bulls were jammed inside too-small dog crates. Three adult dogs lived chained in the backyard, trash cans tipped on their sides serving as their only shelter.
Most heartbreaking of all, police found the scar-ridden bodies of four dead dogs stuffed into trash bags and left in the basement.
Suddenly, it became clear to investigators. The dogs, emaciated and injured, were savagely being trained in that house to fight. Authorities realized theyd uncovered a large and previously unknown dog-fighting operation.

I don't know how they live with themselves.
I hope these dogs are able to find loving homes.

Cash and carry. And then what ?
Far too easy for people to buy dogs and do whatever with them, and to them.

That's the good news. The unfortunate news is that if found guilty, it's sad that Caurie Swinger probably won't die in prison of old age and fear. Yes, fuck you Caurie Swinger, waste of life. I hope to God you haven't had the chance to breed yet, you shit.
And to the neighbors that heard starving dogs crying at night, could have left anonymous tips yet chose not to: fuck you too. This is almost equally your fault. You suck. You let this happen.
