Dozens of roosters were found crammed into small cages, covered in wounds and injuries from the brutal fights they had been forced to participate in.

According to reports, the cockfighting ring had been operating for months, with participants coming from all over the state to place bets on the bloody battles between the birds. The fights were often violent and deadly, with roosters being pitted against each other in a fight to the death.
