NW Georgia Dogfighting Ring Busted

A suspected dogfighting operation has been busted in Rome. Two men were charged with cruelty to animals, and 15 adult pit bulls and six puppies were impounded after a raid on a residence in NW Ga. Floyd County authorities say the dogs had been tethered to the ground with logging chains attached to car axles. They say many of the dogs were scarred. A police official says one of the dogs bore scars consistent with dog fighting.
