Investigators in Visalia found nearly 400 roosters and more than 1,100 cock-fighting knives that go on their feet.

It's being called the biggest seizure of cockfighting knives in U.S. history.

Juan and Leticia Gonzalez were both taken into custody Tuesday night in Visalia.

Investigators want the bust to send a clear message that Tulare County will not tolerate this kind of activity.

The couple is facing felony charges and more than one thousand counts of possessing animal fighting paraphernalia.
