Police in Brazil made a grisly discovery after raiding an international dog-fighting ring in which organizers allegedly barbecued the losing animals and fed them to its spectators.
Brazilian police said 41 people — including doctors, veterinarians, a military police officer, foreigners and teenagers — were arrested last Saturday when they stormed a farm in Mairipora on the outskirts of Sao Paulo’s metropolitan area.
Authorities said they rescued 19 pit bulls — some were seriously injured and others dead — and found a barbecue with a large piece of dog meat that was served to participants at the event.
The dogs were reportedly pitted against each other in a dog-fighting ring that took bets from around the world.

An American from California was reportedly acting as a referee for a fight when police raided the property.
