The search warrant operation was part of a probe related to animal cruelty and possession of game fowl for cockfighting, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said. Pictures from the scene showed dogs in cages as well.
California authorities busted an alleged cockfighting ring on Monday, recovering 2,000 to 3,000 roosters from a property in an incorporated area of Los Angeles County — potentially one of the largest seizures in U.S. history.
The search warrant operation was part of an investigation related to animal cruelty and possession of game fowl for cockfighting, the news release said. As of Tuesday, investigators were still on scene, determining the animals' ownership and evaluating potential criminal charges. With a history that goes back more than 6,000 years, cockfighting is a sport in which two roosters specifically bred to fight are placed in a small ring and encouraged to fight to the death, according the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.The last major bust in Los Angeles County was three years ago, when the sheriff's office recovered nearly 7,000 roosters in a property raid in the unincorporated community of Val Verde near Santa Clarita.
