Tulsa Man Sentenced for Dog Fighting | Tulsa News

A Tulsa man, Julius Deane Griffin, is heading to federal prison for 17.5 years after being convicted on multiple charges including dog fighting, allowing minors to witness animal brutality, assault with a dangerous weapon, and tampering with evidence. His social media exposed his operation “West Camp,” leading to the seizure of 17 dogs—including one dead pit bull—and over $16,000 in cash. He confessed to starving and treadmill-training dogs for fights, showing graphic videos of injuries, and even letting his young children watch. After arrest, he tried to erase digital evidence and also admitted to assaulting a girlfriend with a golf club. Animal welfare advocates hail this as a landmark moment—proving that cruelty for profit will face severe consequences.
