Wilkes county authorities seized 127 dogs and arrested a man who co-wrote a book on raising dogs to fight after raiding an apparent dogfighting operation in western North Carolina.
Officials of the Humane Society of the United States said Thursday the actions were the result of a three-year investigation into the group “Westside Kennels.” A news release said three people were arrested Wednesday and charged with one count each of felony dogfighting and baiting. Other charges are possible.
The Humane Society said one of the men arrested, Westside Kennels owner Ed Faron, is a known pit bull breeder and an influential figure in underground dogfighting. He co-wrote “The Complete Gamedog: A Guide to Breeding and Raising the American Pit Bull Terrier,” which includes depictions of injuries inflicted upon or suffered by fighting dogs.
