Five people were charged on allegations of animal cruelty Aug. 4 after police raided a cockfighting event in San Bernardino, the United States Attorney’s Office announced Aug. 5.
Prosecutors allege the group held fights every Sunday from January to August, with as many as 100 attendees for a $60 entry fee, and that the events included betting and a raffle.
Cockfighters could enter their own roosters to fight at the cost of $1,000 for four roosters. The roosters’ legs would be fitted with curved blades 1.5 inches long, according to the Attorney’s Office
