Authorities in Allen County, Kentucky raided Saltsman’s house after receiving a tip that he had a meth lab inside. When officials entered the home, they found nine Pit Bulls. One of the dogs was dead, and the rest were scarred. They also found videos of dog fights, syringes, surgical staple guns and medical supplies used to heal dogs.

Officials said the dogs appeared malnourished and were covered with injuries consistent with those suffered by dogs used for fighting.

Animal control officers said they believe the dogs had been trained to fight.

"I watch the animal cop things, and you see some of the animals they seize and they bring in that are injured. But there's nothing that prepares you for what you're seeing on this video tape," an Allen County detective said.

Officials said they think Saltsman was part of a dog-fighting ring that included several Kentucky counties. Authorities were looking for other people involved in the operation.

Officials also found cocaine, marijuana, ecstasy, and assault weapons when they raided Saltsman’s home.

Here is the link which shows a picture of 2 dogs fighting and the story from above.  It is a video 'still' taken from the video they aired on the news here.  The video they showed was very disturbing, even after editing.  I can't imagine how bad it must have been.  The more I read this, the madder I get.
