The 9 dogs seized in east Texas are being held in an undisclosed location.
But why are they being hush-hush about the location... because authorities don't want dog fighters to try to steal them. The Humane Society's Jordan Crump says these pit bulls are valuable. Crump tells KRLD that these dogs are bread and trained to win dog fighting matches and can win owners thousands of dollars in dog fighting matches.
She says dogfighters are dangerous criminals often involved in drug and gun dealing and adds the dogs would just end back up in the fighting ring.
