(Psalm 31:15, NIV)
65 Dogs Found Chained in Massive Suspected Dog Fighting Operation Need Your Help TONIGHT!
"Starving, emaciated & abused" News Channel 5
On Thanksgiving night, whilst most of us relaxed with our families, a brush fire broke out in Ashland ...City Tennessee. As firefighters responded they uncovered the most horrific scene, they found 65 dogs, many of them chained to the ground. Many of these dogs were totally emaciated, some had infected wounds and many of others dogs had untreated broken bones.
The authorities were called in, and it is now believed that this was ground zero for what may indeed have been the biggest dog fighting operation in the history of the state of Tennessee.
Animal Rescue Corps (ARC) immediately responded in full force and, working with Local and Federal law enforcement, yesterday all 65 dogs were removed from the property. ARC Founder Scotlund Haisley described the situation as 'the worst conditions he has ever seen'. He went on to say that this operation had probably "been going on for decades".
Video from the local News Channel 5 shows the reality and the life of hell in which these animals were kept:

Dogs used in fighting rings live an unimaginable life. Fighting dogs are often beaten, shot or burned alive if they lose a fight, and that is presuming they actually survive it. Bait dogs (used to raise aggression before a fight) often have their teeth ripped out and their mouths taped shut so they cannot fight back. Dogs injured during fights or 'training' almost never receive any kind of vet care or treatment, and thus a slow painful death is an every day event for these tortured, innocent animals.
Most of these dogs had never known the touch of a kind loving hand, but thanks to ARC, tonight they will never know anything else.
ARC is now treating all 65 dogs and is committed to ensuring that not only do they receive the care which they need, but that every single one of them will eventually find a loving forever home.
As Haisley and his Team entered the premises he made these animals this promise, "your suffering ends right now". Please help him keep this promise and donate whatever you can spare.
I know that times are hard, but I will give if you will. This operation will cost at least $20,000, and right now just $5000 has been raised. So, I will match the next $1000 that you give tonight before Midnight Pacific Time. To donate online now please go to:
