An ex-running back in the NFL was convicted on six felony counts for leading a massive dog-fighting trafficking operation after a trial that lasted days in Oklahoma.
The conviction of 54-year-old Leshon Johnson was announced by the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office of Public Affairs. Johnson was convicted for being in violation of the federal government’s Animal Welfare Act that prohibits possessing, selling, transporting, and delivering animals with the intention to fight them.
It was announced that Johnson, a five-year veteran in the National Football League who played for three franchises, gave up to the feds the “190 dogs seized in this case.”
“This criminal profited off of the misery of innocent animals and he will face severe consequences for his vile crimes,” said Attorney General Pam Bondi in an official statement. “This case underscores the Department of Justice’s commitment to protecting animals from abuse — 190 dogs are now safe thanks to outstanding collaborative work by our attorneys and law enforcement components.”
Animals and especially dogs are some the most loving, loyal animals you can have. To do this just shows how sick of a person you have to bee for this level of cruelty
