Pit bull seized at GAA man's home

A pit bull terrier which the USPCA believes was involved in dog-fighting has been seized from the home of a County Tyrone sportsman.

A solicitor for Tyrone GAA player Ger Cavlan confirmed that the animal was removed from his house in Dungannon on Wednesday night.

He said his client did not own the dog or condone dog-fighting.

The animal charity said the dog had been tracked on flights from Finland through Frankfurt and then into Dublin.

I heard on the news that the dog was up north of the border when seized, not Dublin, Dungannon?
It's despicable what those people do.

The sad thing about it is the poor dog will probably be euthanised. Any b*****d involved in animal cruelty or bloodsports should be put through a similar fate themselves to see how they like it.:mad:

It was in the North. But I've heard - purely as gossip - that there's a whole area around the Border, in Cavan, south Armagh, etc, where dog fighting is common, as well as badger baiting.

I've heard the same about areas of the North Circular Road in Dublin.
