Ask and Ye Shall Receive

Last night I pondered why the cops who busted up the nation's largest cock fight had to rescue the cocks in question by killing them all. Well, leave it to the Slate Explainer to come up with the answer. Seems that animals bred to fight can't be housed together or they'll kill each other and to house them separately would cost too much (the owners of the gamecocks in question didn't volunteer proof of ownership, apparently). So it was a matter of money, rather than hunger.
