But Eugene Keith Smith and Yusef DeSilva both denied their pit bull terriers had been fighting.

Smith, 25, of Westside Road, Sandys, and DeSilva, 23, of Beacon Hill Road, Sandys, admitted having no licences and were fined $75 each.

Prosecutor Sgt. Rex Osborne said that Police had responded to a report that an organised dog fight was occuring on Sound View Road.

Both dogs had scars similar to those caused by dog bites, he said.
