Update On Chaparral Cockfight Raid

Authorities said they euthanized a total of 136 roosters after a cockfighting raid this past weekend in Chaparral, NM.

Six roosters were shipped to animal control authorities in Albuquerque, N.M.

The Otero County undersheriff said his office received calls about a cockfight this past Saturday and obtained a search warrant based on the calls.

He said people fled in all directions when officers arrived.

Four men were cited.

Deputies also confiscated $22,000, spurs used on roosters and other paraphernalia.

New Mexico banned cockfighting this past June.
