SPOKANE VALLEY, Wash. — SCRAPS seized 39 roosters and hens from an apparent cockfighting ring in Spokane Valley on Wednesday.

A release from SCRAPS said the living conditions and paraphernalia found were consistent with illegal animal fighting operations, but it is not clear if anyone was arrested as part of the seizure.
