“Who are you to tell St. Landry Parish … what is a redeeming value?” Rep. Don Cravins Jr., D-Opelousas, asked Lentini.Ahh, moral relativism. I wonder if the cognitive dissonance gets to him?

It reminds me of the old Cheech and Chong skit where Cheech talks about his job at the cock fights: "My shob is to enrrrage de cocks"

Let them have cock fighting. We have the Ultimate Fighting Championship who beat each other to a pulp.

I grew up in the area in this article.
I have NEVER seen any manifestation of harm that this practice produces, other than an injured or dead rooster, which can be cooked up in a gumbo after it reached room temperature.
However, Louisiana has really big problems such as terrible schools, crumbling roads and bridges, corrupt politicians and an enabling voting populous.
Perhaps they should fix some levies first, before targeting people who are practicing century old traditions.

"Obviously so is inbreeding." I'm thinking of launching a massive flame attack on your comment about my heritage. I'll give you a chance to take it back.

Backers of the ban labeled the pastime an outdated embarrassment to Louisiana...Well, let's see here... Nagin, Blanco, Landrieu, Edwards, the Longs...
Embarrass Louisiana, you say? Evidently, it can't be done.

If I were a roster , I would certainly rather live a life of pleasure and plenty as I trained for one finale day of battle.
Rather then feed on the hormones and dust in a dark crowded feed house waiting my turn to be fried up into a nugget.
It's a shame that we have people who don't understand that.But then , we have people who would rather spend their life in the safety of the feed house , hidden in the crowd.
I will take my chances in the ring of life.

Folks who enjoy cock-fighting are not folks I want to be around, nor would I want anyone I cared about around them.
It's a pity that it hasn't been banned, but just another reason to avoid the heck out of LA and not give them one penny of my tourist revenue. ;)

So they want to stop rooster fights.

From the Seinfeld episode about cockfighting....
New scene - Jerry, George, Elaine and Kramer at the cockfight in back of Marcelino's store.
JERRY (to Elaine): So, you're actually considering it?
ELAINE: Well, it'll be a couple of years before he's completely bald. Those'll be good times.
JERRY: Marriage is a big step, Elaine. Your life'll totally change.
ELAINE: Jerry, it's three-thirty in the morning. I'm at a cockfight. What am I clinging to?
