Two dogs found nearly dead on the side of the road near College Station may have been used in dog fighting. Veterinarians are trying to save the two pit bulls that suffered numerous injuries.

We went to visit the two pit bulls today, who are both currently in extremely critical condition at the Aggieland Animal Heath Center.

Some veterinarians we spoke with say this is the worst case of animal cruelty that they've seen.

A 2-year-old mother and her 6-month-old pup don't have names, but veterinarians have hypothesized that they have been known as bait in dog fights.

"Based on the injuries that this pet has it always makes me wonder. In circumstances like this, often times pit bull fighters train their dogs on injured animals," said Dr. James Barr with the Texas A&M Small Animal Hospital.

Dr. Barr made a visit to see the pair. Both suffer from old and fresh bite marks, burns,broken bones, and breaths that are getting harder to take.

The sweet-natured pit bull, apparently tortured, had its ears cut off and its skin was in such bad shape it was falling off. About half of its body appeared burned, exposed to major infection.

Esperanza's ailments were evident as her whiskers were singed off, and she sustained a fractured pelvis and extensive bite marks across her body. Dr. Barbara Hannes, veterinarian with the Aggieland Animal Health Center, and her team felt confident that they could treat Esperanza in-house. However, Vonn, Esperanza's six-month-old puppy, sustained very severe burns all over his body, possibly exposing him to deadly infections. To give him the best chance at survival, Hannes enlisted the help of Dr. James Barr, clinical assistant professor in emergency and critical care at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences (CVM), to treat Vonn. Soon afterwards, Terry Stiles, hospital director for the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital at CVM, approved treatment for Vonn. Around 10 p.m

why jump to conclusions and blame humans? maybe the dogs got into it on their own?

anyway not a fan of pitbulls, but i hope they recover quickly.
 
They should be put down before they kill a pregnant woman. If they are used in violet fights and such, then it's impossible they can be of any use anymore right? That's what people say, yet now they want to "save" these dogs? Will people make up their fucking mind?

I'd think there's a difference between being trained to fight and being abused.
 
Wow....that is horrible for those dogs! Who does that to another creature...it's disgusting!

That being said, I honestly think those dogs should just be put down. They have suffered enough and don't need to endure more pain and rehibilitation, just end their suffering. Plus I can hardly believe they'd be good pets after what they had to go through. I'll donate $10 for the needle and drugs needed to do that.
 
This is very sad, but they probably should be destroyed. There's no way I could trust a dog that had been used in fights.

Pretty much, but the under laying issue needs to be resolved first.
The savages that do this kind of abuse and fight dogs because they are to big of pussies to fight other men on their own are the ones that need to be put down. People that does these things are of no benefit to society and the only thing they do is teach their bastard children that it's ok to treat animals and people like shit.

If Texas A&M vets can rehabilitate them into good health i would think those dogs would turn out to be good pets.

They've been put through an ordeal that would make any living thing of a certain level of intelligence unpredictable. A sudden flashback to their fighting days while playing with your children could cost someone their life. I could never trust them. Even if they were perfect angels for years the possibility of sudden and unexplainable violence would be in my mind.

Yup, sadly these dogs should just be killed. There are hundreds of dogs/cats put down each day, I really see no reason to spend so much time, effort, and money on these particular 2 animals that will probably not be "safe" pets. Plus they are going to have to suffer and likely live a poor quality and painful life if they do survive. Just put them down and then go put down the people who did it.

I agree. People who do this shit to animals are obviously way F'n off in the head and I don't think these types of people would think twice about hurting humans down the road either.
