LOS LUNAS, NM – Federal Agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives raided an underground warehouse used to stage alien cock fighting.

The palm-sized alien race, Qwoak, have used earth roosters for generations in vicious fighting tournaments that result in the death of all but the winning rooster and their handler.

Unlike traditional cock fighting, a Qwoak actually rides the rooster into battle, giving its life alongside its steed should the animal fall in battle.

Three dozen roosters were rescued from the fighting ring although it is reported at least 4 will have to be euthanized do to their hostility. Seven Los Lunas men and one woman were arrested for participating in organized gambling and cruelty to animals. Under regulations laid out in treaties with the Qwoak, authorities would not release the number of Qwoak arrested in the raid.

Relations between the United States and the Qwoak may be heading into turbulent territory as this is the second controversy in so many days involving the Qwoak and illegal activities.

Reports of tampering in the Presidential Debate Tuesday night has already drawn unwanted attention to the usually reclusive alien nation.
