Boudreaux and his son Guy had been under investigation by state police since January. The streaming video shows aerial surveillance footage of the Boudreaux property in Broussard.
It was shot by Customs agents with the Department of Homeland Security.
The Boudreaux's had come under the gaze of Customs because of their international sales of pit-bull terriers.
The Boudreauxs were arrested today at their south Lafayette parish home. 2 1/2 months of investigation ended today at this home behind me when investigators made their move.
Investigators say 70 year-old Floyd Boudreaux is one of the most notorious dog breeders in Louisiana who raises his pit bull dogs to fight, then sells them off.
This morning, state police working with local and national Humane Societies and federal agencies served a warrant and arrested Floyd and his son Guy Boudreaux.
John Goodwin, Humane Society of the United States:
"Floyd Boudreaux is the fighting-dog Don. He's been breeding dogs for fighting purposes for 50 years. Some of his dogs are the foundation of some of the most prominent fighting lines in existence today."
At Boudreaux's home police found 68 pit bulls and 40 chickens and roosters. Many of the dogs had scars and bruises.
Laura Maloney, Society for the Prev. of Cruelty to Animals:
"This is a historical case. If we get him, it will send ripples through the dog-fighting community and nationwide."
Some people living in this Broussard neighborhood are outraged about the alleged dog abuse.
Jess Spiehler, Broussard Resident:
"I guess what bothers me the most is that they're on a 3 foot chains. Big, heavy chains. They spend their life under a chicken coop on a chain. That is not a life......that's horrible."
Boudreaux and his son were charged with 64 counts each of dog-fighting and animal cruelty. They're also facing charges for allegedly using steroids on the animals.

“Many of the dogs had scars and bruises.”
