COCK FIGHTING BANNED

What kind a world do we live in when consenting adults can’t take roosters and breed them to viciously attack each other so that other people can have something to gamble on?

Who wants to live in such a humane and reasonable world? Animal cruelty. BAH. If you call attaching knives to the legs of roosters so that the bird might better maim it’s opponent cruel, then well, yeah actually, that’s pretty goddamed cruel. Cock fighting is sort of horrible all around, and now it’s illegal in New Mexico.

Gov. Bill Richardson signs bill outlawing cockfighting in New Mexico

My favorite bit from the article is this one:

“I’m so upset that it’s damn near ruining my life,” said Ronald Barron, president of the New Mexico Game Fowl Association. “I’ve got 38 years doing this. I don’t know if I should hatch off some baby chicks right now. This isn’t a business. It’s my pleasure. It’s my right, or rather it was my right.”

Rights to Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of violent psychotic game fowl.

  1. i think you should focus in on crimes a little more serious
    than cockfighting in my family it is a tradition.
    just like in yours its sticking your nose where it
    does not belong

  3. I was once witness to Brad and Tony MF cock fighting in some random guy’s mouth in Mid-Town Mattoon. It was extremely disturbing. The bright side is that I did win 5 bucks…
