If you try to ban cockfighting in Puerto Rico the United States will have itself a popular revolt in a magnitude not seen since the War for Southern Independence. In Puerto Rico, New York, Illinois and Florida. The fans of this “Sport of Gentlemen” are usually wild, drunk, and heavily armed.
A Bantam is the mascot of the University of Puerto Rico.
Cockfighting is not more cruel than hunting or fishing. At least the birds have a fighting chance.
Even more, I would bring back Bull Fighting to Puerto Rico, too.
When they ban human fighting like boxing, karate, MMA, Ultimate Fighting, etc., they can ban cockfighting.
Sincerely,
A Slack-Jawed, Knuckle Dragging, Puerto Rican Hombre.
You know a while back a in my neighborhood (Humboldt Park, Chicago) I noticed this one house had a rooster in it’s yard. It didn’t occur to me it may have been a fightin’ bird.
