Fourteen people, including three Thai nationals, were arrested in the Philippines during a raid on an illegal dogfight club, police said. Police launched the raid on Saturday evening after receiving a tip from the Philippine Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) about an illegal activity at a cockpit arena in Antipolo City, just outside Manila.
Police Senior Inspector Ernesto Padilla said among those arrested was Danny Tan Sy, 51, the alleged operator of the illegal dogfight club.
Three Thai nationals, whose dogs were participating in the fight, were also arrested.
Padilla identified the three foreigners as Phungmung Boonyang, 23, Timothy Amel Dharmajiva, 37 and Phanuwat Jinda Nunthawat, 43.
During the raid, Sy was caught patting a wounded pit bull in one corner while Dharmajiva was holding another pit bull on the opposite corner, according to Anna Cabrera, PAWS director. (earthtimes.org)
