Summary
Vincent Lemark Burrell, 57, was sentenced to 475 years in prison for running a large-scale dogfighting ring in Paulding County, Georgia.
Authorities discovered 107 malnourished pit bulls, many tied to trees or heavy chains without food, water, or shelter. Some dogs had teeth forcibly removed or severe scarring from fights.
Investigators also found training equipment and dogfighting paraphernalia. Burrell was convicted on 93 counts of dogfighting and 10 counts of animal cruelty.
All rescued dogs were placed in rehabilitation centers for care and recovery.
In addition, animal abuse happens constantly at like, meat and animal products factories, but that’s perfectly ok for some reason
Idk, I find it weird how the law is selective on this kinda stuff
I think because the intention is to hurt the animal by definition and produces no useful biproduct. But that’s my guess.
