A man held forbidden animal fights in Hungary- Videos, Photos

Dogs were bred and trained for life-and-death combat.

Investigators of the Criminal Department of the Nyíregyháza Police Headquarters, with the involvement of the Counter-Terrorism Centre, cracked down on a property in the suburb of Nyíregyháza on the morning of November 28, where a banned animal fight was held, writes Police.hu.

The police checked the organisers and participants of the animal fight. On the property designed for keeping, training, and fighting animals, the 46-year-old L. T., a citizen of Nyíregyháza, organised and held a prohibited animal fight, in which he himself took part. In the first match of the day, one of his dogs fought, which was injured so badly that he died shortly after the match. According to the well-founded suspicion, the man from Nyíregyháza

prepared the animals for the fights in a brutal way. As a result, even before the fight, the dogs suffered damages to their health and possibly died. He bought, bred, and raised dogs specifically for the purpose of participating in animal battles.

He came into contact with acquaintances with similar interests mainly through social media. He was made to organise the illegal animal fight with his acquaintances, including B.B., a 42-year-old resident of Kótaj. They also participated with their similarly kept dogs or were present as judges and spectators at each match, on which, according to the investigation, they were also betting.

Investigators from Nyíregyháza interrogated six men from the scene of the raid. 46-year-old L.T. from Nyíregyháza, 42-year-old B.B. from Kótaj, 43-year-old G.Z. from Dögei, 34-year-old B.N. from Kisbágy, 45-year-old N.Zs., and 24-year-old K.A. from Erdőkertes were interrogated with a well-founded suspicion of following the crime of organising a prohibited animal fight and the crime of animal torture.

The police seized twenty-five dogs and took care of their removal and security. Various devices used to prepare animals for combat were also seized. These included treadmills, syringes, performance enhancers, and pharmaceuticals. The police seized electronic media containing recordings of previous animal fights.
