Sanctuary cities for cock fighting? Based on the disparate impact, the ban is racist. /s(sort of)

I saw my first bullfight in Seville in the summer of 1959. Our guide told us that summer is the time for the rookie matadors to perform since the main season was over and the bulls were too old to put up much of a fight. Even so, the place was packed. After the last fight, our guide led us through an interior corridor on the way to the parking lot and showed us the rooms where Spaniards were butchering the bulls. He said that all the meat was distributed to the local poor. As a 12 year old, I thought that was a good thing.

Why is this any of the feds' business? In a word: gambling.

Have they asked Spartcus his opinion on this? (Cant think of his name).
FYI that Spartacus guy is running for President........and his nickname is sticking. Pocahontas and Spartacus are the leading candidates and I can barely remember their real names.

ts a brutal blood sport like bullfightingwhich is also banned in the US.
I remember back in the 60's when the Wide World of Sports would televise bull fighting from Spain. As a kid I never gave much thought to it......
Then back around 1984 my family vacationed in Acapulco. While there, we decided to watch the weekly bullfights they had in a local arena. Halfway thru the first fight, I had to get out of there. There's nothing glamorous about bull fighting, it's just plain slow and torturous butchery of a defenseless animal.......

How about transsexual hen fights? Pump them full of testosterone and let them fight.

Puerto Rico legislators voted in favor of a resolution to protect cockfights, stating they are an integral part of the island's folklore and patrimony. Now if it was a MUSLIM thing, that would be different.

See my link below. AFAIK, there are no federal laws reading animal abuse, so the Feds will come at this using gambling. I don’t have a problem with that.

Totally agree with you. A throwback to the Roman Arena.
Hate people who abuse animals and children.

Another attack on private property. Hunting, fishing, riding horses, will fall in time.
