Dozens Arrested In Cockfighting Ring Bust

SANTA FE, Texas -- Dozens of people were arrested Sunday when a cockfighting ring was shut down, officials told News2Houston.

Galveston County sheriff's deputies said they received a tip that a cockfighting ring was operating in the 15600 block of Fir Road in Santa Fe.

When officers arrived at 4 p.m., they took 50 people into custody, including the owner of the property. They also found 127 birds that were trained to fight and nine dead birds.

"Unfortunately, they've been trained and raised to do only one thing, and that's just not fair. They don't have that choice and they don't really know any better," said Alice Sarmientos, with the Houston Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animal.

The SPCA took custody of the birds.

The owner of the property, Manuel Lopez Vargas, was charged with cruelty to animals.

Roosters taken in cockfighting bust in SPCA custody

From 11 News Staff Reports

Galveston County sheriff's deputies broke up a cockfighting operation in Santa Fe Sunday after receiving a residential complaint.

The SPCA now has temporary custody of 127 roosters, all individually caged to keep them from fighting.

The agency will go to court later this week to gain permanent custody. If granted all the roosters will be euthanized, because, SPCA workers say, animals bred to kill can not rehabilitated.
