(AP) — Two Kansas City, Kan., men have been sentenced for their involvement in a dogfighting ring.

Pete Davis Jr. and Melvin Robinson were sentenced Wednesday in federal court. They pleaded guilty in June to transporting dogs to participate in animal fighting.

Davis received a 16-month sentence. Robinson was sentenced to 10 months.

Both men were also ordered to pay almost $431,000 to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals for the care of 48 dogs authorities seized from the men. Davis and Robinson were also banned from owning dogs for three years after being released from prison.

Prosecutors say some of the animals the men trained will have to be destroyed because they’re too aggressive for rescuers who care for them.
