Animal control officers and deputies reportedly seized seven pit bulls from a home on Stanley Chapel Church Road on September 15, 2008, after finding injured dogs, equipment used for wound care, old surgical gloves, needles, syringes and the remnants of injectible antibiotics given to dogs that had been injured during fights.

"This is a horrible crime against animals. It is amazing to me that people who participate in this criminal activity actually perceive this as a form of entertainment and have no remorse," Wayne County Sheriff Carey Winders said in a statement.
