Five people were arrested Tuesday after a Houston police officer came upon what appeared to be an organized dogfight in Southwest Houston.

The officer was conducting a traffic stop in the 13000 block of Townwood about 1:30 pm when a resident reported that the dogfight was taking place just down the block. The officer investigated the report and found a crowd gathered in a driveway cheering on as several dogs on chains were fighting. Five men were arrested by police and seven dogs were confiscated by the Houston Humane Society. Those arrested face animal cruelty charges.

Talk about being in the right place at the right time! YEA!!! There needs to be more people willing to give information about dog fighting so that it can be stopped! Kudos to the person who reported it! Dog fighting needs to end!

The SPCA of Texas is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of any individual involved in dog fighting in the state of Texas. Take a stand today by reporting all suspected animal cruelty and abuse to local law enforcement and to the SPCA of Texas at www.spca.org/cruelty or (214) 742-SPCA (7722).
