Target: Champ Crocker, District Attorney of Cullman County, Alabama
Goal: Ensure a full investigation and prosecution if illegal cockfighting activities are confirmed.
An investigation has been launched in Cullman County following the emergence of drone footage that reportedly shows activity consistent with an illegal cockfighting operation. The footage, captured by animal welfare advocates, allegedly depicts individuals carrying dead and injured birds from a structure, along with large gatherings of vehicles and roosters being handled in a manner commonly associated with organized animal fighting events.
According to reports, the video prompted authorities to begin an inquiry into whether the activities observed constitute violations of state animal cruelty laws. Cockfighting is illegal and is widely recognized as involving significant suffering and harm to animals. However, the property owners have reportedly denied any wrongdoing, stating that the gathering was a poultry show rather than an illicit event.
At this stage, no arrests have been made, and the investigation remains ongoing. Animal control authorities are leading the inquiry to determine whether the available evidence supports criminal charges. Situations where visual evidence suggests possible illegal activity require careful examination to ensure that conclusions are based on verified facts and that due process is followed.
If the allegations are substantiated, enforcement of existing laws is essential to prevent continued harm to animals and to deter future violations. Ensuring accountability in such cases reinforces the legal protections designed to prevent organized animal cruelty. Sign below to demand justice.
