Incredible Cockfighting Cruelty, Corruption in Monterey County, California

To help stop cruel, criminal cockfighting, Monterey County, California has an ordinance limiting a property owner to 5 roosters. A property much obtain a permit for more than five roosters.

There are currently more than 1000 illegal rooster operations in Monterey County, and no legal permits for more than five roosters. That indicates rampant corruption in Monterey County, including law enforcement, and a supposed humane organization.

Cownose Ray Slaughter Documented

April, 2017 UPDATE! Thanks to SHARK's documentation and the hard work of Fish Feel a new law was passed banning these slaughters. Read more here.

MECHANICSVILLE, MD – Graphic undercover video taken here of a killing "contest" this past weekend, and now being made public, documents a horrific slaughter of Cownose Rays, who were shot by arrows at point-blank range.

Much more to follow in the coming days. Here is the raw footage SHARK and Fish Feel is providing the media:
