personally, i think the punishment for the trash that engages in cockfighting should be a taste of their own medicine. tie their hands behind their back, strap razor sharp spurs on their feet, and lock them in a room together. make them fight it out and the one left alive is the one that gets out.
Cockfighting is a cruel "sport" that should be outlawed. To compare it with the rodeo is ridiculous. No animal is deliberately mistreated in a rodeo. The same cannot be said for cockfighting. I hope Louisiana will join the rest of the nation, not to mention the 21st century, and outlaw cockfighting this year.
The state legislature decided that a rooster was not an animal but was poultry. What a joke. Kind of like saying gaming is not gambling. We are becoming a nation of nominalist. We believe if we change the name of something, we change the thing itself. Talk about self-illusion.
There actually are activists who take issue with calf roping- the calf often flips when it hits the end of the line and they take issue with it.
I wouldn't mind getting stoned in public for committing adultery... I do it all the time at concerts... Oh wait I see your point now... :redface: :redface: :redface: :redface: :redface: :redface:
