Georgia man receives sentence of almost 500 years for organizing dog fights and mistreating animals


Vincent Lemark Burrell, a Georgia man, was sentenced to 475 years in prison for facilitating dog fights and abusing animals, which included 107 dogs seized at his property in November 2022. This is the longest known sentence involving dog fighting. Burrell denied being involved in dog fighting in court and it is unclear whether he will appeal. The case began when an Amazon delivery worker reported that several dogs were tied up with heavy chains at Burrell’s property. The dogs showed signs of abuse, including being underweight, lacking food, water, and shelter, and being restrained with logging chains. Burrell was arrested on allegations of facilitating dog fights and animal cruelty. Evidence at his property linked him to dog fighting, including a treadmill for dogs, a breeding stand, and a break stick used in fights. Some dogs had removed teeth and scars from fighting. The 107 dogs seized were taken in by a nonprofit organization. Among the dogs was Baby Shark, intended for illegal fighting. Burrell was convicted on 93 counts of dog fighting and 10 counts of cruelty to animals. Superior Court Judge Dean C. Bucci sentenced him to the maximum allowed by law.
