i think we could be able to cockfight because there is nothing wrong with it thats what there here for and were not lhurting anyone so i dopntk tlhink theyi have ma right to stop us
My husband and I raise game chickens and I do agree with "josh" everyone everywhere is wrong about cockfighting. My husband fights his roosters and they are by no means trained, it is bred in them to fight like they do. It is not like we make them do it, if they don't want to then the handler knows it and want fight no more. I think that the governor passed it for spite. He is no good anyways, maybe in 2 years we will get a "sportsman" governor and he/she will overturn the whole bill.
i own game chickens and people have it all worng about the sport of cockfighting. it is a sport that has been around for years presidents have dont this on th front lawn of the white house. they say we train the birds to fight this shows what they know the birds fight on instinct it born in them to fight. if you pass the law to band fighting them what are we to do with them ship them to the white house and let them "KILL" were they have no chance to live their life like if they stay with me and others like me. a slaugter hen only live 38 day before being KILLED hens on my farm could live many years before they die and roster are going to live for at least 2years and more at least they have a fighting chance to live unlike slaugter chincken who have no choses thank you for you time
