Original Story: In February 2015, The Central California SPCA, at the request of the Fresno County Sheriff’s Department, assisted in the collection, removal, transport, and sheltering of more than 100 fighting roosters from a property in Fresno County.

Cockfighting is a brutal blood sport where the roosters are forced to fight, often to the death for the entertainment and financial gain of their owners. The CCSPCA is proud to lend our expertise in animal fighting and collection to local authorities to help put an end to this disturbing activity and secure justice for the animal victims.

The roosters were transferred to the CCSPCA Animal Center by our Animal Control Officers where they will receive care from our veterinary technicians, animal handlers, and Humane Officers and Investigators.
Many of the details of this seizure are still unknown, as the case rests in the hands of the Fresno County Sheriff’s Department.
