Twenty-seven dogs were found and rescued from what looked like a “major dog-fighting operation” in Sumter County, Florida, in mid-June of 2019, to the shock and dismay of the county’s authorities.
“While approaching the house,” Sumter County sheriff’s office shared on Facebook, “the residence of 38-year-old Alva T. Ridgeway, deputies observed in plain sight a dog-fighting pit with possible animal blood on the walls and equipment typically used in dog-fighting operations.”
