Hundreds of birds were euthanized after a joint investigation led to their seizure from an alleged cockfighting operation in Kansas. The Humane World for Animals (formerly the Humane Society of the United States) said in a news release that it collaborated with the Sumner County Sheriff's Office to seize more than 400 roosters and hens from the operation. The sheriff's office confirmed the seize to CBS News. Law enforcement served a residential property with a search and seizure warrant around 6 a.m. on Tuesday.
Main Idea: The Sumner County Sheriffs Office helped investigate an alleged cockfighting operation in Kansas that led to the seizure and euthanasia of more than 400 birds.
Key Points:
The seizure and euthanasia of more than 400 birds may cost taxpayers money and shows how illegal animal fighting can spread disease risk to farms and communities.
Sumner County sheriff’s work may help stop animal cruelty and reduce the chance of bird flu spreading to people, pets, and poultry.
