My friend is taking me to the weekly friday night cockfights in town. Has anyone ever been to one of these? How many people are usually there? It sounds like a fun time I guess... I didn't even know it was legal in IL.
Anyone ever been to a cockfight?

Hey, what you do with your Friday nights is your business. No one wants to hear about your curious tendancies.

It's not legal in IL apparently
In the United States cockfighting is illegal in Washington, D.C. and all states but New Mexico and Louisiana. It is legal in the U.S. Territories of Puerto Rico and Guam. Thirty states and the District of Columbia have made cockfighting a felony and, as such, it is also illegal to possess roosters for fighting in these states. It is illegal in 40 states and D.C. to be a spectator at cockfights. On the Federal level, the Animal Welfare Act makes it illegal to engage in interstate transportation of cocks with the intent to fight. Activists continue to lobby
for a ban on the sport.

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.
might as well make some side bets while your not "intervening"...
why do people have such a problem just saying, "yeah it's illegal, but i'm doing it anyway"
that's my attitude to any of the things that i do that are illegal..
I'm sure your friends "loophole" would work in court :roll:
How about you and your buddies fight each other and let the chickens watch.

I don't understand your logic. It's just a bunch of men who are passionate about cocks meeting in a hot environment - who are you to predict what's going to happen?
You see in Little Jerry Seinfeld the unlimited future you once had. Now, just because Jerry Seinfeld is a has-been, don't make Little Jerry Seinfeld a never-was!
