Houston, TX

July 27, 2006

300 roosters were confiscated the Humane Society today in southeast Houston.

The local Humane Society received a tip about a cockfighting ring in the 10200 block of Monroe Road near Saylynn Lane.  An individual leasing the property granted the Humane Society permission to take the animals.

No charges were filed due to the fact that the roosters were not caught in the act of fighting.

Police officials did state that cockfighting paraphernalia was found on the property.
