"While some may view dogfighting as a low-priority crime, this type of criminal activity is a magnet that breeds violence in our neighborhoods and cannot be tolerated," Detroit Police Chief James Barren said Monday in a statement. "Anyone who has ever witnessed or heard a dogfight take place never forgets the experience. Dogfighting is an extremely brutal act and anyone who participates deserves maximum charges for animal cruelty."
