Yep....real sicko stuff.
Where I used to live in the Blue Mountains a few years ago, a lot of dogs went missing from their homes......the police found out that a dogfighting ring was involved, and had sent people out to steal dogs to be used as bait in the dogfights. What was happening was they would put these family pets into a cage with a fighting dog to be ripped apart, so that the fighting dog was suitably angered and ready for a real fight with an opponent dog.
By the time the investigation was fully underway, that dogfighting ring just disappeared, simply relocated elsewhere.
Evidently there is big money involved.....that's why they do it.
