MOULTRIE, Ga. (AP) — Animal welfare authorities in Moultrie are allowing the public to adopt roosters that were confiscated from a cock fighting ring.

More than 40 of the animals are currently housed at the Moultrie Colquitt County Humane Society.

WALB-TV reports that the birds were seized when police raided a cock fighting operation in July. Authorities said 32 people were arrested, and most were charged with the misdemeanor crime of being a party to animal cruelty. The birds were given to the local humane society.

Animal Control Officer Jamie Hill said his office is trying to give the birds a chance to live.
