A long island man is facing 18 counts of felony and misdemeanor animal fighting charges after 13 pit bulls were found dead in a one-car garage that went up in flames.
Spokesman Shams Tarek said the 53-year-old man fled the scene when the fire broke out but was arrested Saturday afternoon. He said investigators found the dead pit bulls and dog fighting equipment after executing a search warrant. Three other pit bulls were found alive.
I think this is a really sad story. Because this man was making dogs fight eachother to the death and nobody knew about it. I'm glad that the place burnt down and the man is being arrested, so he will not be able to hurt any more animals.
What do you think about this story? How long do you he should go to prison for?

Good summary but you didn't reply to any comments.
This is so sad. I can't believe the poor dogs had to go through such pain! I hope the man goes to prison for a very long time and gets what is coming to him!
This is terrible, dog fighting is so wrong and this man deserves what ever he gets.
I don't like dogs but i still hope he gets what he deserves thats terrible.
This is so sad. I feel so bad for the dogs that had to suffer through all of that. I hope he gets what he deserves.
This is so sad. Why would you do this to animals. I hope he goes to jail for a long time!
Some men just want to watch the world burn i guess. But making innocent animals fight is inhumane and wrong and he should get a hefty sentence.
