Shocking! Dog fighting ring sentenced to only 1 year – PHOTOS, VIDEOS

Dog Fighting Animal Cruelty Abuse Crime 7

Video still from the footage of the Counter Terrorist Force

A band of criminals who have organised cruel dog fighting in Nyíregyháza were pressed charges against this week, a year after their arrest. The sentence of the court may surprise you.

According to Origo, the ring of eight men were breeding and training dogs for dog fighting in Nyíregyháza. They would organise fights to wager hundreds of thousands of forints by abusing the animals.

Their training method consisted of forcing the dogs to run on a custom built treadmill and keeping the animals on short, extremely heavy chains.

As if that was not enough, the tormentors were administering drugs to the dogs to dope them and increase their physical performance and aggression. In case a dog acted disobediently, they beat it up.

Origo also highlights that in addition to the tortures the dogs had to endure, they were kept in adverse conditions without being given enough food or water.

Police.hu wrote in their report, that they have caught the perpetrators and the people who wagered on the fights red handed during their joint mission with the Counter Terrorist Centre (TEK).

Further investigation revealed that one of the eight perpetrators bought a property in Nyíregyháza specifically for the purpose of organising dog fights. The members of the ring, men mostly in their 40’s, kept in touch online and would travel with their dogs to Nyíregyháza to take part in the fights.

The owner of the property just held a dog fight earlier on the day when the authorities raided the location. One of the animals suffered such severe injuries that it died on the scene.

During their raid, the authorities have confiscated equipment used to train the dogs, syringes, drugs and hard drives containing the recordings of the previous fights.

The Police have seized 25 dogs and safely transported them to a shelter.

The prosecutor’s office suggested, that if the men who played leading role in organising the dog fights would confess and resign their right to trial, the court would sentence them to only one year imprisonment. While the others would face potential fines.

If we consider the extent of the cruelty of their act, only one year imprisonment might be a lenient sentence.
