Determined to break the deadly cycle of chicken-on-chicken violence, Amarillo Sheriff James Braddock is targeting cockfighting activity in the area. 'It's always tragic when any chicken is injured or killed,' said Braddock after a massive, 45-chicken bust. 'But it's doubly tragic when these put-upon creatures turn against their own kind.' Braddock said that while law-enforcement officials are making strides, they can only do so much. 'Educating these chickens while they're still young is key,' he said.
