Authorities in Santa Cruz county busted a cockfighting operation Thursday morning.
Santa Cruz County Animal Control Officers and the Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Office served a search warrant on a property on Ranport Road in Watsonville early Thursday morning.
During the search, about 200 chickens – both roosters and hens – were seized. There were also dozens of cages, cockfighting weapons, and a ring on the property, typically used for fights.
Additionally, several emaciated dogs and puppies with severe health problems were also found on the property. Detectives also discovered several firearms, including assault rifles and high capacity magazines.
Two arrests were made in connection with the case: 58-year-old Brett Miller and 21-year-old Angie Gonzalez. Both are facing several charges. This investigation is a joint effort and is ongoing. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact Detective Drew Renwick at 831-454-7638.
Hey, hey, I was a cock teaser at Rooster-rama...
Your grandma’s roosters did not have razor blades attached to their feet by humans. When it comes to human and animal cruelty it’s not to each his own. There are laws for those crimes. Arrest them and prosecute them.
LOL, yeah, and well, these days, who knows, they may identify as hens.
Yes, respect for animals is one of the hard differences between our civilization and the rest of the 3rd world shitholes.
I thought diversity was our strength?
There have been cases of people being killed at cockfights after having an artery slashed by a sharpened gaff on a rooster.

Chickens are food.
You never met my Grandmother, did you.
I had family that were in to fighting. It was a big deal in Oklahoma for a lot of years.
Not all fights were to the death, or fought with hardware.
Like I said I have no interest in chicken fights.
Oh...I thought it was s bunch of gays sword fighting.
During the search, about 200 chickens – both roosters and hens – were seized.
So egg prices will be coming down soon?
