Five facing jail over barbaric dog fight

Five men are facing jail after being convicted of one of the bloodiest and most barbaric dog fights ever discovered.
Police raided a kitchen showroom to find two pit bull terriers on the verge of death after spending around two hours relentlessly ripping into each other.
The RSPCA said there was a worrying increase in dog fighting amongst gangs of young men.
Twenty six men were convicted over the fight in Alum Rock, Birmingham, last February, which pitted the dogs, Elvis and Bullet, against each other.
Birmingham Magistrates' Court was told the battled inflicted “unimaginable” pain and suffering on the dogs.
Graphic video footage taken during the fights shows the dogs' owners encouraging them to fight by shouting and clapping.
Squeals of pain and phrases such as “shake him” and “come on boy” could be heard on the videos as the dogs bit each other so badly that one was left covered in blood with barely any hair around its face.
