I'm sorry to hear about this. There are some real idiots out there when it comes to pets and children. But in general, there are laws when it comes to caring for pets. Even if there's no limit on how many you can have, there are usually laws against abuse and neglect. I agree with the advice to check out a pit bull rescue. There are other rescue orgs and welfare orgs you can seek for advice and help. Local ones would have the best info on laws and such. Those animals in that condition is unacceptible.
