Authorities have seized about 80 pit bulls during raids at two southern Indiana sites suspected of breeding and training dogs for illegal fighting.
State police say dog carcasses and dog fighting paraphernalia were also seized when the Indiana Gaming Commission and other agencies executed search warrants Tuesday in Orange County.
Adam Parascandola of the Humane Society of the United States says many dogs had scars and marks consistent with fighting.

MYTH: American Pit Bull Terriers lock their jaws.
Dr. Brisbin: "The few studies which have been conducted of the structure of the skulls, mandibles and teeth of pit bulls show that, in proportion to their size, their jaw structure and thus its inferred functional morphology, is no different than that of any breed of dog.
There is absolutely no evidence for the existence of any kind of "locking mechanism" unique to the structure of the jaw and/or teeth of the American Pit Bull Terrier.

is it possible that all these raids are just a coincidence? Somehow I think not.. and I'm wondering if there's a connection to the upcoming Vick interview on 60 minutes.....
Emily you read my mind. Obviously my tin foil has worn thin.
ok, but YOU have to watch the 60 minutes interview and let us know; I don't think I can bear to...
