Dog Fighting in Detroit

DETROIT, Mich. (WJBK) - FOX 2's Charlie Langton takes us inside the very dark world of dog fighting in Detroit. Caution: this video is graphic.

Investigators from the Michigan Humane Society do what they can to stop dog fighting rings and try to stop the abuse.

There is an estimate of thousands and thousands of dogs on the streets. Detroit has a real problem.

But one man is doing his part to give these dogs a chance. Hush is a local rapper and head of the Detroit Dog Rescue. His mission is to capture the thousands of stray dogs in Detroit.

Stray dogs who are caught, are taken to a vet and then to a shelter with the hope of adoption.

The shelters are rarely able to adopt out all the dogs and in particular, the pit bulls are the losers. Most of them are euthanized.

To report animal cruelty call: Michigan Humane Society Cruelty Hotline: (313)872-3401
