THEY USED A KIDS BIRTHDAY PARTY AS A FRONT FOR COCKFIGHTING!

A children's party in Texas took a tough turn for the birthday kid after police stormed the bash to break up an illegal cockfighting ring.

Deputies from Liberty County Sheriff's Office arrived at the party on Saturday about 40 miles outside of Houston. They found what looked like a normal party, complete with a waterslide, Newscore reported.

But they also found loads of evidence of a large cockfighting ring, with injured and dying birds only a few feet from the children.

Some of the birds were armed with steel blades, while others were pinned to cages.

Officials also found a gun and a steel machete, local television station KHOU reported.

Two people were arrested at the scene while others ran off or drove away shortly after the police showed up, according to the report. Some of the suspects sped off so quickly, they crashed into each other. At least one driver plowed through a wooden fence on the property.

Officials from the Society of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals recovered 48 live birds and took a horse and two dogs from the home.
