Judge Orders More Than 127 Pit Bulls Destroyed

February 20th, 2010 by Lee

A Superior Court judge ordered that Wilkes County destroy more than 127 pit bulls seized from a dog-fighting ring because a county ordinance requires that dangerous dogs be destroyed and state statutes define dogs involved in dog-fighting operations as dangerous.  The 127 pit bulls were seized on Dec. 10 during a raid on Wildside Kennels. It’s unclear exactly how many dogs there are now because several litters of puppies have been born since the raid.  Kennel owner Ed Faron pled guilty to 14 counts of felony dog fighting and was sentenced to 8 to 10 months in prison. His son pled guilty to one count of felony dog fighting and was given a suspended sentence of 6 to 8 months. For complete story click HERE.
