WASHINGTON (AP) -- Cockfighting and wildfires do not mix, at least not in Congress.

House and Senate negotiators working Thursday on legislation aimed at reducing fires in national forests stripped a provision to increase penalties on illegal cockfighting.

Lawmakers said the cockfighting measure, and a separate plan to limit use of the term "ginseng" in labeling herbs and other supplements, were cluttering up the forestry bill, itself the focus of intense debate for months.

"...stripped a provision to increase penalties on illegal cockfighting."

Another cave in to the gay community.

Deliver us from the ignorance called vegitarianism. Starve your brain to death on rabbit food, let the forest burn, ban private property; what a bunch of morons!
