LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - After raiding a San Diego district close to the Mexican border, authorities said on Monday they had shut down an extensive illegal cockfighting ring, arresting 50 people and seizing more than 5,000 birds.

Those arrested were charged on suspicion of cockfighting and possession of cockfighting implements, charges that carry one year in jail and a 5,000 fine.
