The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports that the Lorain County Sheriff broke up a cockfighting ring in Sheffield Township last week. More than forty men were caught observing the fight. Underweight, malnourished and neglected animals were present, and several animals were either dead or dying. Officers confiscated metal spurs, drugs and steroids at the scene. A similar event was the subject of a February sting in Medina County that resulted in the arrest of 21 people.
