19 Arrested In Illegal Songbird Fighting Ring 6
An anonymous reader writes "According to a CNN affiliate site, 19 people have been arrested with connections to an Illegal songbird fighting ring. From the article: 'Police said 150 birds were seized in a canary-fighting investigation in Shelton on Sunday. Police said canaries and saffron finches were seized and 19 people were arrested at a Ripton Road address. "There was 100 canaries fighting, and they were betting on them 'til they were dead. It's absolutely shocking," said neighbor Marion Sega.'" If you doubt the aggressive nature of the canary, just ask Sylvester the Cat about the damage this bloodthirsty species can cause.
I dunno. (Score:2)
I don't doubt that canaries fight, but who would pay to watch them? "Where were you last night George? Admit it! You were at the canary fights again!" Yeesh, I'd never want to be in a position where I'd have to admit that.

Well, people watch cock-fights (the avian kind) as well, so why should this be far-fetched?
