Bloody Cock Fights

For being the editor of a newspaper, there were a few more comments that show his lack of research ability. What about "As the activity is largely associated with Central America,...". He didn't know it's a National pastime in Thailand, Singapore, Philippines, India, Burma, Africa, So. America, pretty much the rest of the globe.

"And what about falconers?" -- who train birds to kill rabbits and doves." How lucky for the falcons! Apparently, without falconers, they would surely starve to death all around the world.

"The .. chance to be busted is not higher than being caught for dealing drugs,". Now that's what's called subliminal association. By linking drug dealing with chicken fighting implies equal social decadence.

But he did mention something useful, however. Something that we also should add to our arsenal of weapons in defense of our sport.
"Their most successful (legislative debates) echoes civil rights and pro-choice campaigns (because Gamefowl) breeders have adopted the very same language and philosophy of liberal movements --the same set of ideals with which many animal rights supporters identify".

I think it's time we started listening to these chicken farmers, and maybe adopting their tactics.
 
Loco your killing me, but just in case you are serious. A Rhode Island Red is a chicken used for egg production and eating. They can have somewhat of an ill disposition at times, but they are not gamecocks.

You nail a Rhode Island Red with a knife or gaff, that ole bugger is gonna do one of two things. He'll either run or die immediately, they are not game.

Good eye there Nasa.

They are trying to make it illegal to transport gamecocks across state lines now. A felony in fact. I believe it's senate bill 345 that is attempting this. This would affectively end out of staters going to the three states that are still legal, which I believe are Louisiana, Oklahoma, and New Mexico. Missouri and Arizona just became illegal within the last couple of years.

Anyone want the see how the chicken men deal with the anti's go to: www.pitmaster.com or www.gamerooster.com

They deal with anti's daily. I have a couple good friends who are cockfighters and you couldn't ask for any better people. Most raise their chickens naturally (without performance enhancing drugs), take extremely good care of them and basically just want to be left alone to do what they enjoy, but as we all know the anti's won't allow that.

Their even trying to make it impossible to send chicks through the mail, which will hurt your little farm folks who just want to buy a few chicks for laying hens. I swear the world has gone crazy.

Not the victory, but the action. Not the goal, but the game. In the deed
the glory.
 
Locohead they just made a big bust here in Philadelphia Pa for a cock fight. something like 50 people, they said even attending one here is a felony. I find that hard to believe over just a few chickens fighting. Ought to just let the people alone. Barry

I have kinda been getting a kick out of the controversial issues lately. There seems to be an awful lot of them.

Two summers ago we took a vacation to Mexico. There I saw one of the coolest things I've ever seen. I witnessed this poor little rooster getting his "el hiney-o" majorly "el kickified-o" by the big ol' rooster. Then at the last minute the underdog pulled a major Karate Kid on the big fella. Just as the winning cock approached for the kill, the smaller one leaped up in the air and kicked his razor covered spur, and slashed the big boy's neck. BLOOD everywhere.

It was pretty cool man. Of course, I am totally against it though. LOL

I'm glad this has not turned out to be controversial. It seems everyone here is pretty much in favor or cock fighting.

Believe it or not. I sent money to a friend of mine in the Dominican Republic to buy some chickens and pheasants. He claims if you breed pheasants with chickens, they will be great fighters. Who knows if this is true? With the money he also bought 50 chickens and a few roosters for food and eggs (probably the Dominican version of a Code Red Bird or whatever Bopeye was telling me about).

All I know is that after a couple of weeks or so, those birds went to feeding the town where our birds were supposed to be taken care of. That's the Dominican Republic for you.
 
Oh yeah, by the way, If any of you folks have never seen a fight, you really ought too. It was one of the neatest things I've done for just a few pesos. No joke, they really are entertaining and lots of fun.
 
A cockfighting ring was busted yesterday in Ogden UT. They wouldn't say how much money was found but that it was apperently was a big opperation.
The animal shelter has I think about fifty birds. The news said that some of them might go for adoption.
This is a cool subject, making me think that this might fun to get into. Maybe adopt some birds and start breeding.
 
Talon, you brought up an interesting thought. Roosters instinctively fight other roosters for hen dominance. Just take a look around any barnyard. When that happens, is Farmer Brown a lawbreaker? What if he spots 2 chickens over by the hay bales with their neck feathers frilled, and he bets Elroy a dollar that "that ole Leghorn is gonna' kick that Rhode Islands butt"? NOW is he a criminal? Or is it predicated on the number of people in the immediate vicinity, when it happens? Like a birthday party or family reunion at the farm? I used to foot spar with my chickens all the time. Is that criminal activity?

I think I just talked myself into raising gamebirds again.
 
Hey Talon,

Ride on over there to the humane society and see how much they want to adopt them. NASA and I may just be your first customers! LOL! Uh oh I think we just started a cockfighting / breeding / B.S.ing ring on the Internet. Ahhh, the power of technology! LOL!
 
Yeah, just show up wearing a PeTA shirt; they'll prob. just give you the birds!!!

My SIL on my wife's side was a wannabe hippy for a few years, and she and Queeny (the missus) had close friends with a bunch of like-minded hippies. About the only thing I cared for in that lifestyle was Phish! I was a 'metal-head', so you can see how that could be.
They grew up for the most part, and still get together every now and again.
Whenever we have some of that crew over as guests, I try to make sure that the Outdoor Channel is on...
The best is when the commercial for the predator hunting video is on; y'know, the one with the Bobcat that looks 'tired' all of a sudden. BOOM ---ZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Too funny. I have to get sadistic like that every once in a while with my (ex) in-laws. They are the green and orange haired ones with all the metal piercing on their face. Seen 'em? They have bought into just about every "anti" position that's out there. I couldn't wait for their "visits". And I ALWAYS had lots of BBQ'd meat cooking when they arrived and cornish hens in the smoker. My (ex)wife had to sit with them in the kitchen and eat carrot stix and jicama while me and my friends drank beer and ate real food out on the patio. When they finally drifted outside we would entertain them with hunting stories, and embellish them appropriately, for their benefit. We kept them gagging until they left.
p.s.- as soon as they left, the (ex) would hit the BBQ and grab a chicken from the smoker.
 
Men look on as two roosters fight on a field in Kabul, Afghanistan, Friday, March 22, 2002. Cock fighting, an old tradition in Kabul, was banned during the rule of the Taliban, but started up again following their fall in November. The fights, which often last up to half an hour, are not to the death, and the winner is declared when one of the roosters submits. (AP Photo/Greg Baker)

Owners are allowed to stop the fight temporarily to refresh their roosters, and check their wounds, before sending them into battle again. Though the fights are not to the death, the roosters are bloodied and sometimes blinded before a winner is decided.

personally, I don't really like the cockfighting, but that doesn't mean others should have to adhere to my likes or dislikes.
Kinda odd, ain't it? Most liberals that are so opposed to any use of animals (i.e. hunting, trapping, lab-testing, etc.) are all for abortion on demand, at any time.
In their convoluted thinking,an animal is worth more than a human life. The writer of that article in the earlier link would not have been so outraged had it been an abortion clinic that was discovered.
The AR activists are only "speaking for those that can't speak for themselves". Yet what about an ubnborn (human) baby???
