Dogfighting paraphernalia 鈥 which included conditioning equipment, wound care supplies and supplements 鈥 was also seized in the raid, with which D.C. police assisted as part of a search-and-seizure warrant.

鈥淒ogfighting is one of the most savage crimes an individual can engage in and it will not be tolerated in the District,鈥 said Chris Schindler, the alliance’s vice president of field services, in a statement. 鈥淭hese dogs are finally free from the sadistic lifestyle they were forced to live and will never have to fight to the death again.鈥
