Great job!
On the afternoon of May 24, 2026, San Joaquin County Sheriffβs Office deputies responded to a report of a possible rooster fighting operation near Kettleman Lane and Highway 12 in Lodi.
Using the Sheriffβs Office UAS, deputies located more than 150 vehicles gathered in an orchard. As deputies arrived, many vehicles fled the area.
Deputies located 18 live roosters, including several confined inside a locked vehicle. Due to the animalsβ welfare, forced entry was made into the vehicle. San Joaquin County Animal Services responded and took possession of the roosters.
If any of these roosters belong to you, please contact the San Joaquin County Sheriffβs Office.
