Nashville’s Metro Police have seized 38 dogs, mostly pit bulls ranging in age from puppy to adulthood, from a massive dog-fighting ring that sprawled behind two Pewitt Road homes.
Police discovered evidence to the dog-fighting operation during an investigation into heroin and cocaine trafficking at the same properties. While investigating the homes of Michael A. Davis, 34, and his neighbor, James Jones, 35, police found treadmills, syringes, a breeding stand, hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash, and exercise logs documenting the dogs, along with multiple dogs tethered to trees by heavy chain.
While many of the dogs showed signs of fighting like scars and open wounds, others were emaciated and starved for human attention. Police say the dogs were very happy to be getting attention, their tails wagging as they were examined by a veterinarian.
The dogs will remain in custody of Animal Control during the investigation. Once released by the court, all suitable for homes will be placed up for adoption.

says:Put them in treadmill, let them fight with 5 dogs.
Oh what a awful people.
Hope they find a good house for the dogs!
Jennifer Guerry
says:How can these people go to sleep at night knowing there are sick, abused and starving dogs on their property? No kindness, compassion, guilt? I don’t understand how a human being can have absolutely no remorse for the suffering on their own property. You see it every day and you still go out in the world and feel good about who you are? These owners have been raised being the object of abuse, that is the only thing that I can come to terms with.

says:I am not a big pit bull fan, however, it’s only because they are too much dog for me. But no matter what,these men have committed a grievous crime against animals and deserve prison and treatment as they gave the animals. This is totally uncalled for. Jail is too good for them

says:I cannot express how I feel when I see these wonderful dogs who deserve loving homes instead of people who want to abuse them for money. I will never understand how anybody can do harm to innocent animals. They are starving for kindness and human attention.
