Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - Akron man sentenced for running dog fighting ring, says he did not think it was inhumane
Posted: 7/1/2015 8:12:45 AM EDT


CLEVELAND, Ohio — A federal judge sentenced the organizer of an Akron
dogfighting ring on Tuesday to two years in prison for what she called
his "sadistic" and "incomprehensible" crimes.



At the hearing, Alvin Banks apologized for his crimes, stating that
he grew up with people who had dogs fight and did not realize the
practice is inhumane. But U.S. District Judge Patricia Gaughan was
incredulous.



"Help me understand why you thought it was OK when you saw an animal bleeding and suffering," Gaughan said.



Authorities said Banks, 56, also known as "Butch," held tournaments
at his Cordova Avenue house on several occasions and was the organizer
of a large-scale dogfighting ring that was busted by state and federal
authorities on Nov. 15.



Eight pit bulls and pit mixes were seized during a raid of Banks'
home, including two bloodied dogs fighting in a ring set up in the
home's garage.
