Two men in north Georgia have been arrested on dogfighting charges. Investigators are linking Randall Thaxton of Canton, and Ellijay resident Ray Beavers to the same "significant pit bull breeding operation". The lead investigator in the case says 30 pit bulls were recovered, all with scars consistent with dogfighting. Since May, eight dogfighting operations have been raided by law enforcement officials. That’s when a new Georgia law went into effect making it a felony to own, possess, train, transport or sell any dog for the purpose of dogfighting.
