LOS ANGELES, Calif. (AP) - Authorities say nearly 2,000 hens and roosters have been confiscated from a two-block area in Los Angeles as part of an ongoing cockfighting investigation.
Los Angeles police Officer Cleon Joseph says officers and animal services workers spent ten hours Wednesday removing the birds from the rural area of residential trailers and ranch-style homes in the Sylmar area.
Items used for cockfighting were also seized.
Detective Rudy Ramirez told KCAL-TV that the operation appeared to be "very well organized."
Police say no arrests were made.
