The sheriff&#8217;s office confirmed the seize to CBS News.<\/p>\n<p>Law enforcement served a residential property with a search and seizure warrant around 6 a.m. on Tuesday. The birds were found living in small wire or wooden structures with &#8220;little protection from the below freezing temperatures,&#8221; the Humane World for Animals said. Temperatures in the area were in the 30s on Tuesday, <a href=\"https:\/\/forecast.weather.gov\/data\/obhistory\/KWLD.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">according to the National Weather Service<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Some of the birds were injured or sick, the humane society said, including two roosters on the property who had open wounds and were &#8220;covered in dried blood.&#8221; Other birds had &#8220;apparent respiratory infections.&#8221; Some of the birds had no access to water. Transport boxes, electronic scales and gaffs, sharp blades that can be attached to roosters&#8217; legs during fights, were found on the property, the news statement said.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\"><span class=\"img embed__content\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/02\/14\/175ceb6c-b235-4eba-80db-01418d9716a5\/thumbnail\/620x409\/a9a5098edb98761dedc198e7e42dbaf0\/screenshot-2025-02-14-at-2-28-05-pm.png?v=f303dc12868a012283443d8b9123e5fe#\" alt=\"screenshot-2025-02-14-at-2-28-05-pm.png \" height=\"409\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/02\/14\/175ceb6c-b235-4eba-80db-01418d9716a5\/thumbnail\/620x409\/a9a5098edb98761dedc198e7e42dbaf0\/screenshot-2025-02-14-at-2-28-05-pm.png?v=f303dc12868a012283443d8b9123e5fe 1x\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg'%20viewBox%3D'0%200%20620%20409'%2F%3E\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\"><span class=\"embed__caption\">Birds found at the scene.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                Mike Simons<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Humane World for Animals said it identified the birds as gamefowl, which means they were selectively bred to be aggressive with other birds and raised for fighting.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The birds found at the scene were <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/143-roosters-euthanized-after-california-cockfighting-bust\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">humanely euthanized<\/a><\/span>, the animal society said, because of their risk of spreading infectious diseases and the lack of homes they could go to.
