What do you think about cockfighting?

[imported_Tomato]

From Syrus:

"i was watching the news a couple minutes ago. i try my best not to watch the news, but it was just on. anyway they were making a big fuss about some guy who was raising chickens for cock fights. big fvcking deal. so they "rescue" the chickens and arrest the man, whose face was censored, but it was obvious he was filipino. let the man pursue his mother fvcking hobby for goodness sakes. people are just so damn uptight. animal cruelty this and that, jesus christ...they're just chickens! you know damn well those chickens are going to get butchered any minute now, eaten up, and sh!tted out. at least the guy is finding other things chickens are good for aside from food. i've seen cock fights before and they are a fvcking riot. if i was a chicken, i would much rather be a fighting chicken than just a regular chicken that's being sent out to foster farms. at least if i was a fighting chicken i'd have a longer life span, not to mention a lot of fun."


I've never seen a cock fight, and I'm not sure I ever will... but if I had to choose between being slaughered and served at KFC or fighting another chicken, I suppose I would go ahead and fight the other chicken.

The "I'd rather be fighting than be bred without a beak" argument is silly, because there's a better alternative.

Use chickens to fuel the next generation of cars.

I agree with Syrus.

what a pathetic sight
strung out rednecks watching roosters fight
placing bets and taking speed.
sacrificing life for their own greed.

we had to write a poem in comp class about a current event, OK a couple of years ago became the 48th state to make cockfighting illegal.
so that was my poem.

cockfighting is ignorant and barbaric
i dont care what your heritage is.

I took my little brother (14) to the to hospital to have stitches removed and the male nurse asked him if he'd ever been to a cockfight. He kept encouraging him to go. I wonder if he was a chickenhawk It really was strange.

I agree, people claim that's animal cruelty, but dmnit, its in their nature to fight. No one forced them to. They just placed the two cocks together in a ring. So if the cocks go at it, how can you say that's cruel?

They'll never know the joys of a monkey knife fight.

 

[gistech1978]

do chickens hatch from the egg with claws and knives attached to their feet?
no, they dont.
but in real cockfighting, the handlers attach them.
people fight. all the time. are we going to have human death matches?

 

[boyRacer]

Fine with me. But everything is wrong nowadays. Go figure.

When I went to the philippines... they had that stuff going on all the time.

Well, they don't just stick two roosters in a ring and let them duke it out, they train them to be as aggressive as possible, and they also sharpen their beaks and claws and outfit them with razor blades and such.

I don't agree with it, but I don't really see a need to ban it.
We still have rodeos and bullfights and horse racing and that kind of stuff. WHy is cockfighting singled out?

 

[amcdonald]

I like watching people beat each other mercilessly, so I really can't see anything 'wrong' with encouraging animals to fight.
Now, I realize the same parallel could be drawn for watching animals gangbang each other, but I gotta draw the line somewhere.

Why chickens though? I mean if I were gonna watch two animals fight, I'd want to watch 2 pit bulls go at it. Or those Japanese fighting dogs.

 

[sillymofo]

Actually, when I was a kid, I had a cock that I trained to fight. The hair less, red skin type, they're fcuking vicious. But when I fight them, I don't attach sharp razor to their hind claws, just for fun. They seem to enjoy it. I've seen the fights where they attach these six inch long blade to the hind claw and, man, it's not pretty to see a cock get snub with one of those. The irony is sometimes, the owner get snub with them too, I guess it's only fair.

But on the idea, I think it doesn't warrant a ban, just as fighting with the fish. And they sell them at Petco, complete with dueling bow.

cocks are better fighting than at kfc or mcdonalds
