Target: Phillip Talbert, U.S. Attorney, Eastern District of California Goal: Prosecute man accused of running dog fighting ring that used Chihuahua as bait and forced dozens of dogs to fight. Dozens of dogs were held captive and forced to fight and breed by the leader of a dog fighting ring, according to reports. The alleged mastermind of the ring was a man named Carlos Villasenor. An undercover federal agent reportedly broke the ring wide-open when he convinced Villasenor to sell him a dog, purportedly to be used to breed more fighters. As a result of the undercover work, authorities raided Villasenor’s property and reportedly found dozens of pit bulls used in fights, a Chihuahua used for bait in the fights, testosterone boosting supplements, animal skins, “break sticks” used to pry open a dog’s mouth when it has bitten and held, and a contraption designed to “immobilize” female dogs for coerced breeding.
