Police busted a cock-fighting ring in the Bronx last night. A policeman was tipped off after seeing a man carry a fighting cock outside the house, and the ASPCA was called in after the policeman saw 25 roosters in the basement. Also among the evidence: Syringes, antibiotics, and vitamins, all things used to pump up roosters. And cock fighting is illegal in NYC. Gothamist has seen our share of Animal Precinct, and those roosters look scary; many have to be euthanized. The cocks found were taken to the ASPCA to be cared for. As it's Chinese New Year and the Year of the Rooster, we hope they are okay.
And while we don't condone cockfighting, the Seinfeld episode, The Little Jerry, is brilliant.

Jen - did you pick the art for this story? Hysterical! LOL!
When I first looked at the article, I had an internal Freudian slip and didn't see the "Fighting" in the headline. I thought that was hilarious.
What's my age again?
Euthanize? Anybody that's read David Sedaris knows "You Can't Kill The Rooster."
Exactly where in the Bronx? Why so vague? What's the damn address.
