APOPKA, Fla. -- Animal Control Agents took more than 30 dogs from an Orange County home, Sunday night. Detectives said a tip led them to the dog fighting ring on Highland Avenue in Apopka. Orange County deputies say it was a disturbing scene. Dozens of dogs were found injured and chained up in the backyard. They also found several dog bones, including a skull, jaw, and several teeth. The blood stained fighting pin was found just 75 yards away from the house.A neighbor, who did not want to be identified, told Channel Nine that her neighbors did not make the dogs fight. “If dogs are together they might scrap a little bit. But they love the dogs,” said the neighbor.Detectives believe the dogs were burned, once they were done fighting. No arrests have been made and charges are pending. Copyright 2006 by wftv.com.
