"On June 11, 2005 a number of law enforcement agents raided a cockfight in Newport, Tennessee - The agents ? which were comprised of people from several agencies ? arrested 144 people, destroyed over 300 roosters, and confiscated $40,000 in cash. One owner stated he lost 20 chickens valued at $150 each during the raid.

The 144 people arrested were booked on charges of being spectators at a cockfight. Tennessee is one of the states that considers the act of watching a cockfight to be a misdemeanor. Anyone found guilty of those charges faces up to 11 months and 29 days in jail, plus fines up to $2,500."

Just a spectator huh?

Oh don't worry about it. I'm sure the cops won't show up at your cock fight.

Now go and have a good time. :thumbsup:

Ok, my friend tells me that there's a bit of a loop hole. He says him and a bunch of people that have pet roosters go to a meet. Two of them will walk around in a circle and if the roosters start fighting then they back off because it's too dangerous to intervene. I think this is what makes it legal.

That would be like saying I put my fist out and you just happened to run into it. Seriously, it's illegal and a disturbing practice.
There's nothing illegal or disturbing about freedom. If you don't like it, fine, mind your own business.

What does strapping spurs on a rooster and watching it mutilate a second rooster to death have to do with freedom?

i went to a few in PI
its called sabong there

you basically bet on one of the suckers and wait till they slice each other up to shreds

the birds have blades attached to their ankles and they just go off ninja style on each other, pretty dangerous and you will get cut well if you don't know how to handle them

i made a bit of money off of betting on these things

good stuff

You aren't free to do it. It's illegal.

As for the spurs, the roosters get them strapped to their legs and then thrash at each other.

Here's a shot of the spurs

You sure about that? :roll: Don't act like a douche bag, oh, it's not an act. They can happen anywhere anytime. People will do it regardless, and hopefully, they'll get busted. You play the stupid card real well.

Just to put the legal issue to rest, attending a cockfight is in fact a crime in Illinois.

From the IL Humane Care for Animals Act, at 510 ILCS 70:

(g) No person shall attend or otherwise patronize any show, exhibition, program, or other activity featuring or otherwise involving a fight between 2 or more animals, or any animal and human, or the intentional killing of any animal for the purposes of sport, wagering or entertainment.

* * *

(3) A person convicted of violating subsection (g) of this Section or any rule, regulation, or order of the Department pursuant thereto is guilty of a Class C misdemeanor.

How do you know that they don't? You don't. Did I say random? You did. People will do illegal sh!t anytime anywhere to get away with it. Go to your cockfight, loser. :thumbsdown:
