To Save You Must Destroy, Apparently

Authorities in Tennessee arrested 144 people over the weekend as they broke up what is thought to be the largest cock-fight in the United States. They meant business, too:

Several SWAT teams, helicopters and dozens of state troopers participated in the raid Saturday on the sprawling Del Rio Cockfight Pit. They seized about $40,000 in cash and killed more than 300 roosters.
Whoa whoa whoa! You swoop in like the Ministry of Information stormtroopers in the beginning of Brazil and arrest these guys who were forcing chickens to fight each other and then kill the fucking chickens?!?! Did they have a cook out? Christ, I hope these guys never have to defuse a hostage situation involving more sentient beings.
