Thousands of chickens have been seized after a shooting in Dallas led to a bust of an alleged cockfighting ring.
Police responded to a call last Friday just before 6:30pm of a potential shooting in the 10100 block of Rylie Road near U.S. 175 and Interstate 20.
According to WFAA, a man was found shot at the scene, and was transported to a nearby hospital where he is reportedly in stable condition.
DPD also happened upon thousands of chickens at the site, which they believe were being raised for fighting purposes.
The department's animal cruelty unit obtained and executed a search warrant, and seized the chickens, along with "paraphernalia related to cockfighting."
According to police sources, investigators believe the shooting was the result of a person who purchased a chicken and was upset at the seller over the bird not performing well.
Further investigation is being conducted.
