What’s wrong with cockfighting? After all the birds are dumb and like to fight. The US state of Utah, along with Mormons and Salt Lake City, has a penchant for cock fighting. It’s one of the only states whereby the “sport” is classed as a misdemeanor as opposed to a felony.
Introduction: What’s Wrong With Cockfighting?
A Utah State senator named Allen Christensen was very to the point when he said that: the birds “naturally want to do this thing in their lives,” and (probably worse, “Utah allows women to have abortions, so why doesn’t it allow people to strap knives to roosters’ claws and get them to cut each other to pieces for entertainment?” In other words, there’s nothing wrong with cock fighting. Cocks fight naturally. But on the other point, let’s tie up abortion with any matter at hand. For example, “ me that apple…as your aborted fetus can’t shit!” Or “Look at the pretty flower…oh, I forgot you murdered your fetus and it can’t see shit!” So, let’s have a look at what’s the big deal with cockfighting?
Save the Hens
The Humane Society (bless them) says that cock fighting is a barbaric sport. On that we can agree. Cockerels are conscious beings who must therefore feel pain. Yeah, OK. But even though it’s a little bit of a potatoes vs tomatoes argument, you could ask the Humane Society to turn their attention towards the battery farming of chickens. There are, in the US, over 9 billion chickens living in battery farms, for either meat or eggs, under appalling conditions. If lawmakers have concerns for roosters, then why not for hens? (I “me-too” for all poultry!). Like playing Intertops.
Keep It Cheap
Like I said, it’s not really a strong argument comparing farm yard hens with birds forced to fight with razors strapped to their legs. The real problem here is that the public are quite OK with animal cruelty. Provided they don’t see it. Whether factory beef, pork or chicken farming, we really don’t give a flying shit. Just as long as it’s cheap food when it gets to the supermarket, then who cares? We love our KFC! Sure, it’s a crap attitude. As the Manic Street Preachers said, “And if you tolerate this, then your chickens will be next! ”
Sleeping With Your Sister
Another factor used againstdog fighting.
Put Your Cock Away
Sounds like the sort of party you WANT to go to. OK…maybe this Humane Society should get out a little more and they’ll see that there’s nothing wrong with cock fighting. No one is murdering anyone over a couple of dumb birds. Let’s be truthful here, chickens are exceptional when it come to dumbness. (These hicks actually murder each other over the gambling! Maybe they should gamble online with these online gambling sites in the US) Also, you could, if you tried hard enough, link any activity with crime. Some how. If you were really driven. Let me think about yoga. Or flower arranging.
There’s Nothing Wrong With Cockfighting
Whether cock fighting is a felony or not is a kinda mute point. Peeps are now more aware of animal rights. It’s no longer cool to be entertained by a couple of online gambling sites in the US!
