Not Wisconsin again.

I hate to be pushy, but I think we really need a "WTF is wrong with Wisconsin?" category.
I thought you had to be a Clinton to have balls this big. (both sides, read on)

A battle is brewing over the fate of 66 roosters, hens and chicks seized in June from the Madison home of a man suspected of running cock fights.
In court papers filed last week, the attorney for Jorge Iglesias alleged that the birds are being mistreated at the Dane County Humane Society, where they have been kept...

He's suing the Humane Society for mistreating his fighting cocks.
The allegations
...the roosters and hens are confined to tiny cages that are dirty and covered in excrement. Many are being kept in rat-infested areas, he wrote, and about 18 chicks that were seized have been killed and eaten by the rats. One hen and five roosters have also died from other causes.They were missing and presumed eaten.

I may have added that part at the end.

But wait, it's Wisconsin, so they need to go that one step farther.
The Health Department is also asking that Iglesias pay the cost of keeping the birds at the Humane Society, which was $36,615 as of Aug. 21.

They want $36 grand to house a bunch of chickens for 2 1/2 months.

It's funny how often I'm against both sides in a dispute.
