About a week ago, working jointly with law enforcement, the ASPCA took part in the raid of a huge dog fighting ring. From the ASPCA press release:
NEW YORK —What is believed to be the largest dogfighting raid in U.S. history was conducted early Wednesday in an effort that included federal and state agencies, with the ASPCA (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) assisting.
At the request of the Humane Society of Missouri, the ASPCA, along with the Missouri State Highway Patrol, United States Department of Agriculture’s Office of the Inspector General, Federal Bureau of Investigation, The U.S. Marshals Service and the United States Attorney, is collaborating in the rescue, veterinary care, and forensics evidence collection of dogs associated with multiple suspected dogfighting operations. The ASPCA will also be assisting in behavior evaluations of the dogs.

We all should thank the people who work tirelessly to protect, save and care for animals that might otherwise be forgotten. I am sure the dogs they rescued look at them and see angels wings on their backs and halos over their heads.
Thanks to all of you great people from animal lovers everywhere.
