VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. – Volusia County Animal Services seized more than 200 chickens from a home in Seville that authorities believe were being bred and sold in a cockfighting operation. “There’s a reason why this type of activity is illegal,” Volusia County Animal Services Director Adam Leath said in a news release. It’s hard to see how anyone can consider this entertainment or sport.”Even though it’s illegal, Leath said cockfighting can often be hard to detect. “Usually the neighborhood knows that animal fighting is going on before we find out,” Leath said. By being our eyes and ears, the public can help us put a stop to this terrible practice.”Anyone who suspects illegal animal fighting taking place in Volusia County can contact Animal Service at 386-248-1790.
