Some 550 birds and 10 pit bulls allegedly being kept for use in an animal fighting ring have been rescued from properties across Indiana, authorities have said.
Martin Anderson, of Camby, was arrested at his home on Thursday in connection with an animal fighting investigation that allegedly saw dogs chained up and bred for the sole purpose of killing other pit bulls in the barbaric blood-sport.
Neighbors said Anderson was known to take in stray dogs but said they did not know of the alleged evil intentions.

An Indiana State Police SWAT team van carried the troopers that led the raid on his property.
Meanwhile, in Owen County, investigators moved in on LMB Farm, reportedly owned by Anderson, where more than 550 birds and nine pit bulls were recovered.
