Arnulfo Arizmendi, a 41-year-old property owner from Monte Alto, was arrested on June 1 for allegedly organizing a cockfighting event. The Hidalgo County Sheriff's Office discovered a makeshift cockfighting ring after a Texas Department of Public Safety helicopter noticed a large gathering at his ranch. Deputies found several roosters, including a dead one, and weapons believed to be used in the fights. Witnesses reported being charged $20 to watch the fights. Animal welfare advocates describe cockfighting as barbaric and linked to other criminal activities. The case is still under investigation, with calls for stricter laws against animal fighting.
