NEWS: Augmenting Cock(fighting)

CULTURE: Augmenting Cock(fighting)

The great Oklahoma past time of cockfighting has a champion in State Senator Frank Shurden. He would like to fit the cocks with boxing gloves so they can fight fair.

Louisiana and New Mexico still allow cockfighting, sometimes with razors attached to the cocks.

this sounds like something straight out of the simpsons

Louisiana and New Mexico still allow cockfighting, sometimes with razors attached to the cocks.

It's there spurs, not their cocks, and they aren't razors so much as really sharp metal spurs attached to their real ones.

This is pretty ludicrous. Cockfighting with padded gloves and electronic sensors? Never mind that no one would want to go watch that, we have to keep in mind that the gamecock breeders would be appalled at this attack on their traditions (yes, it is a tradition and these southern gamecock breeders are vehement about it to an extreme that I cannot fully convey with words).

FINALLY.

Cockfighting rules.

Stupid Animal Rights groups, trying to legislate morality....

I thought the roosters fought with their peckers, not their spurs.

lol i hope you meant beaks, and obviously you've never been chased by a angry rooster.
they jump up and try to slash with their spurs, which is why they put sharp metal bits on the spurs for cockfights, a good fighting cock can leave the other bird a complete bloody mess with those.

If there's one thing this country needs, it's more cock (fighting)!

"Shurden said electronic sensors can record the number of hits by each gamefowl to determine which rooster won the boxing match."

Heh. So we're going to have electronic sensors on roosters for cockfighting before we have electronic sensors to call strikes or fouls in baseball (a sport enjoyed by far more people, not including myself)?! Amusing!

FYI- Those bantams used in cock fighting are fucking vicious little bastards, and they love to fight anything that comes near them...animal cruelty my ass.

Does he not have anything better to do.....???

All this cock talk is making me hot.

How insane...unless, of course, he's talking about grown men bludgeoning each other with their erect penises, which might be kinda cool.

...because they're bred and trained that way.

This is just a ploy to allow people to breed game cocks again, because they could say "Oh, these are for the padded fighting.."

I'm guessing that tiny actors in chicken suits wouldn't be a suitable solution?

Jesus wept. You people still have cockfighting???

I live in Oklahoma. At one point cockfighting was legal and getting tattoos was illegal. Figure that shit out....

i mean, what's worse-- cockfighting or george bush? too bad you can't legislate to have the president drawn and quartered.

i find it digusting that people can do this to animals. Train them to mean and agressive then let them woulnd and kill another animal. I really think people that can purposely hurt animals have something missing.

alot of people do the same thing with pitbulls, then when the animals are eventually rescued they have to be put to sleep because they are trained to be mean...Anyone that thinks these kind of things arent animal cruelty should watch the animal cops show on cable. You can see what actually happens to the animals.

but like i said these people are usually missing something and wont see anything sad about it. sick people

i am not really FOR cockfighting... but if you ARE gonna do it, you gotta have the razors.

Tattooing = still illegal. Liquor stores closed at 9pm and all day Sunday. Everywhere that's not a bar or liquor store, alcohol is 3.2%. You can't buy porn that shows penetration. Yeehaw!

Did I mention we have the highest divorce rate in the country, and one of the highest teen pregnancy rates? Yay moral values!

Chickens ARE mean, nasty and agressive espcially the males.
but in the matter of cock fighting they are keep together artifically when in nature one hopes the losing party would cut his losses and advance in another direction.

The fact that an elected state official
is concerning himself with this is pretty
scary. I hope he has bigger issues to
tackle..

*gurk*

Razors?
