LIHUE, Kauai — Kauai police raided an illegal cockfight attended by 300 people on a rural property Sunday, as part of an ongoing investigation of illegal gambling.

No arrests were made at the scene, but "several felony and misdemeanor charges are pending review," Police Chief Darryl Perry said in a release.

Police collected as evidence: more than 100 roosters, $70,000 in cash, metal gaffs (blades) attached to the chickens' legs for the fights, and a small amount of marijuana.

Kauai Humane Society Director Becky Rhoades said that 20 roosters confiscated had life-threatening wounds and were euthanized, while 99 remain in custody.

"The significance of this operation cannot be overstated," Perry said in the release. "Illegal gambling has a nexus with drug trafficking, money laundering, domestic violence, and a general decaying of family and community values, not to mention the cruelty and suffering inflicted on these animals. KPD will not relent in our efforts to bring this type of illegal activity to a stop."

Anyone with information about the event, or who wants to claim a confiscated rooster is asked to contact Perry at 241-1600.
