With Cock fighting comes dog fighting with either or both of comes, gambling, drugs and alot of doping and drinking. With those things we get alot people doing things they wouldn’t do if they had been straight. Children go to school without lunch money, cause it , and the light bill, phone bill, etc. got gambled away, usually not just one weeks worth but several weeks or months.!!! Depravities of all nature’s come in on the coattails of what some seem to think is a harmless pass time. If the gambler misses a payment on the money he owes the bookie guess what is going to happen to him????

What is the harm? It should be legal to do anything you want to do when the animal is a food item.

Psst….that prominent P’cola resident that a few have already mentioned….he’s got his own high-protein game bird feed- named after “him”, no less……frankly, I hope that he, or any other evildoer of like persuasion, is feeling the heat of the law, as well. I learned in my psychology classes, years ago, that one early characteristic of a “sociopath” (as an example) is a youngster who can pull the wings off of a butterfly, or set a cat on fire, with absolutely no feeling of empathy towards that creature, for the pain that he/she is inflicting….I feel certain that dog fighters and cock fighters possess some of those same tendencies…needless to say, our prison populations are comprised of a generous share of sociopaths…
