Los Angeles police found more than 1,500 hens and roosters at several Sylmar residences Wednesday in an investigation of a suspected cockfighting operation. Officers arrived at the residential trailers and homes in the 13400 and 13500 blocks of Borden Avenue about 6 a.m. and found the animals, the Los Angeles Police Department said.
The LAPD’s animal cruelty task force led the operation, which also included personnel from other city agencies, Officer Cleon Joseph said.
No arrests were made in the ongoing investigation.
