Dogfighting "common" in Columbia County

The Lake City Reporter talked to various Columbia County officials about dogfighting in the area. The Lake City Animal Shelter Director told the paper that "dog fighting is common in the Columbia County area, and the shelter has treated several dogs that were victims to dog fighting incidents." The sheriff's office also confirmed that a dog fighting arena that was disassembled last week had been used at least four times. Florida Department of Law Enforcement is assisting in the investigation.
