Never understood the outcry over Cockfighting.
Very basal animals who if not fought would wind up in stew anyway, what is the problem here again?
Add in the 100 or so roosters that were seized wind up being destroyed anyway, and ????
For whatever reason, the MSM (and by incorporation the general public) sees more evil in the abuse of roosters and pit bulls than they do the abuse of young human beings.
Yeah. Don’t really believe cockfighting should be illegal. The good fighting roosters are treated better than the farm ones that end up on the dinner table.
Yeah, I'm not going to lose any sleep over two rooster engaged in mortal combat.
BUT, I do understand the public nuisance and health concerns, not to mention the collateral crime that surrounds these kinds of events. Chickens are filthy animals. I don't think it does a local, suburban neighborhood any good having loud, filthy animals around.
I'm a part-time resident of the Miami area. Just a few months ago, my wife was driving down a large, 4-lane road and chicken hit her windshield, cracking the windshield. Chickens are all over Miami. It's ridiculous.
Keep chickens where they belong - in ovens and deep fryers.
I second that. The law just can’t tax it, so it’s illegal. They can’t control the gambling....therefore they can’t tax it.
I heard some news reports that cockfighters were training roosters to fight,,./?? I never knew roosters had to be trained to fight and...how would a human train one? Jump up and down flailing his arms...kicking his legs out...that’s funny.
Roosters are born to fight...if they are raised for breeding purposes they need to be kept apart.
These chicken fighters in this article are not illegal Mexicans.They are white men that love the gaming sport. Just like some people love football and are at every game. these guys range from many southern states...they raise these birds feed ‘em protein experiment in breeding and keep ‘em in good shape.
Puerto Rico and other countries have no problem w/the sport.
It’s a way of making a living for some down there. I worked down there for 2 months...I had to pass a cockfight ring on the way home from work everyday. There were not many times
that I did not stop. It’s a lot of fun.
