200 fighting roosters found on NJ farm

A New Jersey man has been arrested and charged with 422 counts of animal cruelty for possessing more than 200 fighting roosters on his farm. 55 year old Julius Caesar Riel, also, had 129 hens, 11 dogs, 3 goats and several other animals. (I guess he was getting prepared for Noah's arc!!! LOL)
New Jersey SPCA spokesman Matt Stanton said there is no evidence that Riel staged fights on the property but the group believes, he was shipping the birds out of the country to the Philippines. In New Jersey, just possessing a fighting bird in New Jersey is illegal. All the birds were euthanized, along with a goat and eight dogs that were undernourished.
