Cockfighting is illegal everywhere in Oklahoma, even on Indian land, state and federal authorities say.
Last year, more than 75 people were arrested for taking part in a cockfighting operation on Indian land in southwest Oklahoma. Most of them weren't Indian and nearly everyone has been convicted.
Oklahoma passed a law to ban cockfighting. Federal prosecutors say federal outlaws animal fighting on reservations.
