134 roosters put down in Calif cock-fighting probe [View all]
Authorities in Southern California have killed 134 roosters that were discovered in the small town of Oasis during an investigation into a cockfighting ring.
The Desert Sun reported Friday (http://mydesert.co/IRXo2L) that Riverside County sheriff's deputies also uncovered about 10 boxes of blades used in cockfighting, a cockfighting ring and a large trophy.
John Welsh, a spokesman for the county's Department of Animal Services, says the birds were located after someone called in a report of animal cruelty.
The owner was not arrested but could face $3,000 in fines and citations.
