Alleged Rooster Fighting in Dunkirk
116 fighting roosters have been found at a western New York house and the homeowner has been charged with animal fighting.
74-year-old Concepcion Virella was arrested today by Chautauqua County sheriff's deputies, who say he kept the roosters in cages in the basement of his Dunkirk home and other buildings on his property.
Some of the birds were worth up to $3,000 each. Authorities also found a fighting pit and boxing gloves to put over the birds' spurs.
