    Erm...
    While I don't like those nasty draconian laws much...I don't like a brutal sport that murders animals and serves no purpose much either.

    This seems like a rare case of the government doing something right, friend...

    They may be squashing our freedoms and rights but can't you see - now they are trying to squash the freedom of animals by slaughtering them.
    You bad man.

    I don't know exactly how to feel about the issue. I've seen it from more than one side... I've actually raised 'em, gotta make money any way ya can on the farm. I know other hippys who raise 'em too, and even go so far as to cut the combs before they sell 'em, (makes 'em worth more) but none of us ever fought 'em, on purpose anyhow. Mostly, the rednecks raise 'em around here. They bring BIG BUCKS the meaner they are. Some of the most damn expensive chickens I've ever seen. They have to be raised just so, all separated from each other, alot of times on tethers, each with it's own little house, because ALL THEY WANT TO DO IS FIGHT. Even the hens are mean. They'll attack ya when ya feed 'em. They'll attack each other if they have chicks. The roosters defy all the laws of raising poultry. The ONLY thing on their minds is their hens and fighting. They'll even fight a dog to the death. They'll attack their reflection in a shiny car door or a window. If they are loose, up in the woods with their hens, and they even hear another rooster crow somewhere, they'll come running, just itching to fight. I have never seen anything like it. Birds that live to fight. It's what they do...
    And the rednecks get off on watching them do what they do. They gamble and bet on their birds. There's alot of $ in cock fighting. Strangely enough, alot of the game bird breeders, the ones who get right in the thick of the match, actually seem to LOVE their birds. Wierd. And then they do stuff like tie razorblades to their legs so there is more blood. COME ON PEOPLE! They will kill each other anyhow! Why ya gotta see more blood?!

    So, yea, I understand the concept of making a sport out of something that the bird does anyways, naturally. But it ain't as if it were anything but luck in the winnin' of the thing. Just another way for the intellectually challenged to make themselves feel special...

    Let the hispanics become the majority here in the states, and be prepared to see cock fighting and dog fighting on your evening tv. It's part of their culture and something they make money off of. Not something I want to see as part of my social circle, but something that poor communities throughout the US have turned a blind eye on for years. Look at Louisania, why were there so many intact pitbulls, rescued after Katrina, and many of them falsely claimed by fighters that just wanted to add to their kennels.

    And missing little dogs, they are used for baiting.

    I live in a rural area in Northern California and theres' a real dog and cock fighting presence up here. Call the cops...most of the time they don't respond. They know it's going on, but they don't want to deal with it. And we have laws against it, but if they aren't enforced the practice just grows.

    There's nothing more pleasurable then putting a rooster in your mouth and letting it piss all over the place
