"On June 11, 2005 a number of law enforcement agents raided a cockfight in Newport, Tennessee - The agents ? which were comprised of people from several agencies ? arrested 144 people, destroyed over 300 roosters, and confiscated $40,000 in cash. One owner stated he lost 20 chickens valued at $150 each during the raid.
The 144 people arrested were booked on charges of being spectators at a cockfight. Tennessee is one of the states that considers the act of watching a cockfight to be a misdemeanor. Anyone found guilty of those charges faces up to 11 months and 29 days in jail, plus fines up to $2,500."
Just a spectator huh?
