Commentary, sarcasm and snide remarks from a Florida resident of over thirty years. Being a glutton for punishment is a requirement for residency here. Who am I? I've been called a moonbat by Michelle Malkin, a Right Wing Nut by Daily Kos, and middle of the road by Florida blog State of Sunshine. Tell me what you think.

First spilled milk now cock fighting

That's my hometown of Lantana. Which isn't in the news too often. Here is an article from the Palm Beach Post. I guess the subjects of my title beat a hurricane.

Police have broken up what they say was a cock-fighting ring complete with more than 200 roosters, performance-enhancing drugs for the birds and artificial spurs used to inflict harm on their opponents.

After an anonymous tip, police responded to the house of 32-year-old Jose Reyes at 5768 Colbright Road in suburban Lantana. They found Reyes and several other men in a clearing, a wooded area beyond the backyard, where several roosters were housed in cages. One was bleeding and appeared harmed, according to a sheriff's report.

The men tried to flee but were caught.

Reyes said he's owned the roosters for about a year. There were 214 in all. Reyes said he sells them for food. The other men were also charged for their participation.

The roosters were handed over to Animal Care and Control, where they were expected to be euthanized.
