Suspected fighting fowl seized in Antelope Valley

by City News Service • July 11, 2018

[File]
LITTLEROCK – Investigators in Littlerock Tuesday seized over 100 roosters — some of them injured — that were suspected to have been used in cockfighting operations.

The birds were seized after sheriff’s deputies, assisted by personnel from the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals – Los Angeles, served a search warrant in the 9800 block of East Avenue S in the Antelope Valley community, officials said.

SPCA-LA personnel secured several dogs on the property before deputies seized the 112 roosters, “many of whom were scarred and injured” and suspected of having been used in cockfighting, the agency reported.

Several people were detained but no arrests were immediately announced.

    The Mexifornication of California, in another five years, all of this will be legalized. And, on your ballots you’ll soon be voting on the official Mexifornia state sport: dog fighting or cockfighting.

      Ignorant.
      Numero uno – California was once part of Mexico.
      Numero dos – This means it has always had Mexican peoples living here.
      Numero tres – Cockfighting was brought to America by wealthy whites in the colonial days.
      Just because you do not speak Spanish does not mean everyone that does is Mexican, from south of the border, or is criminal in any way.

        It’s westward expansion which made Southern California great. Not cockfighting, gang-fighting, and dog-fighting. Lawless Mexicans come here illegally, to take a free ride, and they’ve trashed the place out.

          What made California great is the weather, a beautifully peaceful coast line with natural harbors scattered about, abundant resources and GOLD!
          Natives loved the area, and had trade across the nation. Russians and Spanish loved the area and expanded into it. Other nationalities explored it and found it beautiful as well.
          Now, please point out where in my original retort I said any fighting made California great. You can’t. As to lawless Mexicans, bet it never occurred to you that many coming north are coming here for laws, because they are escaping corruption. What free ride? I have had illegals as neighbors, they worked hard, partied little, raised their children and expected them to get good grades and to live the American Dream. I see lots of ‘been here several generations’ youngsters that take stuff for granted. Of all skin tones and ethnicities. Including trashy whites that blame issues on other skin tones.

      @Bryon…It’s legal to euthanize millions of animals yearly.

      … peck-peck-pecking away, tearing at the fabric of American society, these counter cultural cohorts pushed too hard. Eight long years under Barack Obama, beer summits, flip-flopping on everything, looking the other way, cutting slack to the hoodlums, the punks, the brothas, and the Mexican gangbangers, jumping right over on Trevon’s side, push finally came to shove. Everyone so fed up having been arm-twisted into political correctitude, something snapped. Now, mainstream America’s pushing back. Hard. They want these Latin-American misfits out, pronto… and their little dogs, too! And, look who just got elected. Gee whiz, how could that have happened? Had blacks and Mexicans made some minimal attempt to assimilate, had gays not run amok with the name calling, dragging mom ‘n pop bakeries through the mud, never would Trump have been elected. Keep it up with the dog-fighting, and the cock-fighting, moderate and conservative law abiding America will have no choice but contemplate re-segregation.

    I called Animal control to come pay a visit to my neighbor because for almost 4 months, he’s had 5 or 6 roosters tied to their leg in the middle of the back yard, their only shade from the hot sun…or cold nights is a damn plastic drum with a cut out, im sure when it gets hot, the temperature is probably worse inside….any way, after I called Animal control….they said they could do nothing as long as the animals have some form of shade, they are fine…the irony about this is that, the neighbors are brainwashed religious yahoos…talk about morals huh. one of these days Im going to anonymously call ICE to see if these morons like being tied up on in cages.

      @chuy Nazareth…You’re making phone calls on other people because, (a) they’re brainwashed religious yahoos, ( Buddhist’s, Christian’s, Muslim’s, Hindu’s, Humanist’s, too many more to list, tying up roosters. Then you are going to make an anonymous call to ICE to see if these morons like being tied up. Why do you think you need to remain anonymous?

    … gang-fighting, cockfighting, bullfighting, dog-fighting, every kind of fighting, the blood lust of the Mexican-American community knows no bounds.
