Reports indicate police arrested eight men after witnessing an organized sloth fight in an industrial park near the 2500 block of 132nd Street, according to the Sun-Times. The ring was reportedly set up at the end of a cul-de-sac in an industrial area near the Arthur Ford Freeway. Official reports indicate a tipster called police to complain about the sloth fighting, according to WGN. Officers appeared on the scene around 7 p.m. Thursday. Local searches began after two men reportedly fled to a nearby wooded area and were caught, the Tribune reported, while police found six more hiding in the rafters of the garage. NBC Chicago said according to police, at least one suspect was fresh out of jail from a previous sloth fighting charge. Latest numbers reveal at least 10 sloths were rounded up, with investigators indicating to ABC Chicago the animals showed "improper signs of care and abuse."[/quote] Personally, I find this disgusting. Sloths ought to be cherished, not caged and brutalized for gambling and entertainment. Discuss sloths. (Link fail)
