19 arrested in CT bird fighting ring

SHELTON Town police say occupants of a home on Ripton Road were preparing the birds to fight Sunday morning when they were arrested. The suspects' names and the charges were not immediately released.

Authorities kept the road closed most of the day as animal control officials put the canaries in large cages and brought them to another location.

Neighbors say they were surprised because they had no idea bird fighting was allegedly occurring at the home.
