Raids in 6 States Show Dogfighting Widespread


ST. LOUIS — The arrests this week of a Little League coach, a registered nurse and a teacher during the largest coordinated raids on dogfighting in U.S. history confirm the shadowy blood sport is alive and well despite tough laws across the country.

More than 400 dogs, including some about to give birth to puppies, were rescued in the raids by federal, state and local authorities Wednesday and Thursday in six states: Missouri, Illinois, Texas, Oklahoma, Iowa and Mississippi, officials said.

One of the states raided was OK. Dog fighting and chicken fighting are still serious spectator sports in parts of OK.
