Petition to Legalize Cockfighting In The U.S.

To: U.S. Congress

Before basketball and baseball took the Philippines by storm, cockfighting was and still is the Philippine’s most

popular and national sport. Cockfighting has a history which traces back to times before Christ. However, before

cockfighting even became a sport, the bird, the fighting-cock, was regarded as an admirable animal, drawing respect

from men. The fighting cock was a subject of religious worship. According to Diodorus Siculus, the Ancient Syrians

worshipped the fighting-cock as a deity. The Ancient Greeks and Romans associated the fighting-cock with the gods

Apollo, Mercury and Mars. Magellan claimed that in Borneo, the bird was so sacred that no one could eat its flesh. In

South Canara, the bird claimed to ward off evil demons. In Sumatra, the gamecock was worshipped, a temple built to

it, and rituals performed to honor the deity. Cock fighting occurred in the temples and the dead bird which lost the

battle was prepared to be presented to the deities. The bird would be placed in a gold cauldron, soaked in gums and

spices. Then its body was burned on an altar and its ashes were placed in a golden pot or urn. Scott, “History of

Cockfighting”

The history of cockfighting is hazy, there does not seem to be a definitive point in history as to when cockfighting

became an official sport. In the times before Christ,approximately 3,000 years ago during the times of the

Phoenicians, Hebrews, and Canaanites, cockfighting was popular. Breeding gamecocks for fighting in a pit was

considered an art and trading these birds was profitable. In Egypt, in the time of Moses, cockfighting was a favorite

pasttime. During the height of Greek civilization, Themistocles — a general who was preparing to drive away the

invading Persians — decided to hold a cockfight the night before the battle to inspire his men by showing the

courageous nature of the fighting cock. Persian traders loved to gamble by pitting their fighing birds against each

other. They would often carry their birds with them and pit a fight in the marketplaces and trading centers.

In the first century after Christ, Julius Caesar led Rome into enjoying the sport of cockfighting. He was the first citizen

of Rome to be an enthusiast of the sport. Caesar ultimately introduced cockfighting into England. In the 16th century,

cockfighting was flourishing in England. During the time of King Henry VIII, cockfights were held at Whitehall Palace.

The game became a national sport at one point and exclusive schools were required to teach students the points of

cockfighting, such as breeding, walking, and conditioning of the gamecock. At its very height of popularity, even the

clergy encouraged the sport. Church yards and inside of the churches were used as an arena for cockfighting. The

sport declined in England during the reign of Queen Victoria in the 17th century, when she banned cockfighting with

a royal decree. Today, cockfighting is almost nonexistent. However, in the British isles, there still esixts a breed of

gamecocks known as the Pyles strain of Charles II that is a highly sought after bird by cockers and breeders.

In ancient Gaul, cockfighting was somehow brought into the country through travelling caravans or by those who

returned from Rome or the East. During the Middle Ages in France, cockfighting was very popular. Eventually, France

adopted the cock as a national emblem. Today, cockfighting has been driven underground.

In Spain, cockfighting has existed for the longest period of time. How it arrived is uncertain. Theories point to travelling

Phoenicians or the conquering Moors. Today, cockfighting is a popular sport in Bilbao, Oviedo, Madrid, Barcelon, and

Valencia. Many Filipino breeders travel to Spain to obtain ideal birds for breeding. Many gamecocks in the Philippines

have a blood strain of Spanish game cocks.

In the United States, famous presidents who were lovers of the game were George Washington, Thomas Jefferson,

Andrew Jackson, and Abraham Lincoln. It was socially acceptable and encouraged for a gentleman to have a flock

of gamecocks and to be an expert on the sport. At one point, the U.S. became a center for cockfighting activities

and events. Cockfights were even held in the committee rooms of the President. It is said that the fighting-cock

United Nations of CockfightingCockfighting is the Only Reason There are Great Breeders and Great Cockfighters || A Political Organization

almost became the national emblem. It lost by one vote to the American eagle. Cockfighting declined when the civil

war started.

In the Philippines, it was said cockfighting was already popular by the time the Spaniards arrived. It was recorded that

in 1565, natives of Butuan were watching cockfights when the Spaniards came for supplies.

Legalizing cockfighting would bring in billions of much needed tax dollors!!

It would help out a number of feed mills and gamefowl supply stores.Also the hotel and resturant industry’s would sky

rocket.Overall there is everything to gain and nothing to lose except needed money!!

As Abraham lincoln once said:

“As long as the

Almighty has permitted

intelligent men, created

in his likeness to fight in

public and kill each

other while the world

looks on approvingly, it’s

not for me to deprive

the chickens of the same

privilege.”

Abraham Lincoln

Thank You.

3679. John Webb Give me Liberty, I will do the same for you

3678. jose d martinez legalize this old sport mass murder of chickens is allowed by kfc but

this noble sport is outlawed wtf

3677. Troy Thrasher

3676. Timothy D. Poss A rooster is born with the deep drive to fight,you can’t teach him.They

are natural born fighting/killing machines.If you put two game roosters

close to one another.One would kill the other.You should at least legalize

natural heel fighting.

3675. Emily Coleman

3674. Stacy

3673. Edwin Oquendo Legalizing cockfighting = tax money

3672. Robert Smith What gives the animal rights supporters the right to take away our

heritage.

3671. jessica

3670. justin oliver if they are going to allow men to fight in cages they might as well let

chickens fight

3669. desirae this fine

3668. Stephanie Oliver

3667. Levi Wilson

3666. Ryan Chaney we raise chickens,cows,and pigs to eat but people believe its wrong to

let them fight wich would happen in the wild as they were please

explain why two men can fight in a cage but measly chickens are

unable

3655. Norman make it legal it would help the country alot. i think Abraham Lincoln said

alot or should i say (Honest Abe) refereering cock fights is where his

name came from and not to mention 2 more famous names in American

cocking the first u.s. president George Washington and the 7th u.s.

president Andrew Jackson (chicken George) won his freedom owing to

his skill as a “handler”and feeder” of fighting cocks.On the other hand

President Andrew Jackson – (The old Hickory)- kept his brown red

gamecocks in the WhitHouse stables so give us back out rights that

should of never been taking.

3654. Andrew C. Shupe I believe that the sport that I came to love at such a young age has

been unfairly banned from every state. It has been attacked by

different standards than are used to pass any other law. The bans on

the sport have been strong armed through the law making process by

the politicians that are running this great country into the ground. I love

the sport and everything that comes with it and would love nothing

more than to be allowed to participate in it once again without fear of

persecution.

3653. gaidon this is mother nature creation ,its been here since adam and eve it

needs to be legal just like casino in the world

3652. Dewayne Brooks

3651. Ashley

3650. Larry

3649. Eric this article came out of the game cock How about this decision. The

United States Supreme Court, Handed down in 1871 a decision, that

may be of interest. The Court held that canary birds were NOT live

animals because in a tariff act Congress spoke of “animals, living, of all

kinds,” in one paragraph and of birds singing and other in another this

the Supreme Court said, showed that Congress did not believe that

birds were living animals.The Appellate Court took it from there. The

canary bird decision, it said, also indicated that Congress meant that

only FOUR LEGGED creatures were animals

3648. rick cantrell family tradition

and carefully it can be very entertaning and profitable for the

government!!

3641. Steven LaRue as an avid cocker back when it was still legal, i can look back now and

say that i really miss the sport

3640. Mr. Page the native americans should open pits on the reservations. it would

show the government how much they could be making. its really

simple. have everyone fill out a w-4 at the beggining of every year like

you would a regular job. then at the end of the year you get a 1099. at

every derby they take 10\% off the top of the entry fee and then that

way they get paid twice. its just so easy even a caveman can do it

3639. Brock Page think of the farmers. the feed they grow. the money it would bring in for

our country

United States out of turmoil

3367. Jeffery Carter This is supposed to be the land of the free. But the goverment keeps

taking our rights away from us. Our freedom of happiness was taken

when they made it ilegal to cock fight. As you all know many of our

Presidents fought game cocks but the goverment will never admit that

this is so. Because they want every one to think that the sport is wrong

when it is not.

3366. Doug Miller Game Cocks are born with the instinct to fight. This is not something

you can train these beautiful creatures to do. In the wild only the

strongest survive and go on to produce hardier offspring that are less

susceptible to disease. The Game Cock wants to fight another Game

Cock to show the other that he is the most dominant. If they weren’t

meant to fight then they wouldn’t. God made them that way so let them

do what they want to do. Let them fight!

3365. Donnie Carter Cockfighting is a Sport of Kings and NOT a blood sport.

3364. Justin At least consider legalizing cockfighting bare heel (their spurs are there

only weapons)

3331. Anthony M rice Personally against cockfighting, but I don’t think it’s anymore inhumane

than HSUS killing birds or Tyson foods farming practices. Do people

think chicken meat just appears in your grocery store? Raise your own

eggs and chicken and see how cruel tha animal world really is,

3330. jerry this is an Americn tradition they should not take it away from us. Since

lets face it the rest of the world uses illegal cash crops to fund terrorists

groups that pose a huge and obvious threat to the U.S. lets not forget

we are at war in iraq and afghanistan which is a huge economic burden

to the millions of hard working tax payers we work our asses off for our

own government to tell us we cant have a little fun but yet we hear news

about kentucky state troopers viewing this sport take place and not

losing their jobs or facing the same criminal punishment as a regular

civilian. there are some folks that live in areas where the best job may

be just a few more cents than minimum wageand it doesnt pay them

much to drive 80-100miles a day back and forth to work with gas

prices the way they are these days and it makes it damn near

impossible to raise a family with the skyrocketing prices of everyday

living expenses.

3253. Antonio Rodriguez Jr just look at how much money we spend in feed..Imagine what would

3252. shawl hughes i have been in chicken fighting for a while and i want it to be legalized

3245. tyler williams cockfighting should be legalized

3244. Kyla

3243. Raul G Chavez You should put in the petition that we will start paying taxes to each

state. For example, if the purse is 1000 or 10000, the winner will pay

taxes. Because that’s why they ban it. The lawyers should go and tell

them will are willing to buy licence to fight roosters like fisher men. this

money will help the economy and both of us will be happy. Cockfighting

is a culture but I am willing to pay a yearly licence to fight roosters.

imagine how much money will each state will get if they legalize

cockfighting. Each state will get money from each licence and 10\% of

the purse. Think about? Congress will consider if we petition this idea

they could even test it for one year and if it doesn’t work then ban it.

3242. Raul Chavez

3223. Eric Lauer

3222. Derrick Evans This is what they are bred to do. Anyone who thinks otherwise then I

propose a challenge. I give you a mother hen and some baby chicks.

You raise them and see if the roosters dont eventually fight til the death

on they’re own. Also, whoever started this group, then please get a

hold of me because I too am from WV and I really want to help my

favorite sport become legal. This would be huge for our states

economy as well as saving a sport thats been passed down from my

ancestors.

3221. Josue Rodriguez

3220. jesse garcia i raise chickens and love them like u wouldn’t believe ,still ilove to see

them in battle and they fight because they want to. if we train gamefowl

to fight i want to see someone to train a cock how not to fight!!!

3219. Shawn Rorrer I think if they tax cockfighting it would bring in a lot of needed money for

this country. Whats the diffrence between two men in a ring beating the

crap out of each other compared to roosters doing the same thing?

Theres no difference at all!

3218. Dustin Hall I been rasing chickens since 1994

3217. crystal martin have been a long time cockfighter and believe that the government

would not have such an issue with the matter if they could regulate

revenue after all was it not this very reason that they sicked the animal

rights activists on us

3216. Brian C. Brooks As a breeder of gamefowl I put so much love and time into raising and

Popular president in USA.he was not banned the cock fighting.But

George W.Bush banned cock fight.At the sametime to fight with Iraq

and killed public and soldiers.Abraham Linclon was guard the Humen

3197. Don E. Johnson I live in Louisiana cock fighting is now illegal. The so called do gooders

have killed more rooster in the past year than we killed in the derbies

we had. If the state od Louisiana would wake up and bring cock fighting

back to our state and tax winnings they would see how much they have

lost in the state the past 40 years.

3196. lawrence D Johnson

3195. Chue Moua We should legalize cockfighting in the US, but without knifes.

3194. Charles SimmonS

3193. Tabatha SimmonS where are all our freedoms going

3192. Brian SimmonS its more cruel what they do to the chickens we eat

3191. Martin Torres i approve of rooster fighting, they are created for fighting. If you were to

put two chickens outside a couple a feet away from each other, and as

soon as they see each other they will fight to the death untill one of them

runs .Both of them would die ,two roosters can’t live with each other not

even if they were related they would still kill each other.

3190. Jose Luis Torres I love my roosters and hen, and I approve of game cock fighting. Why

do ya kill chickens for kfc ? Its like the same thing but the chickens you

kill can’t defend themselves but ours can !

3189. Michael R Johnson God created all things, animals,even the fowl of the air and put man in

charge of them. If you don’t believe read your Bible.So therefore I think

cock fighting sould be legalized. The gamefowl only missed by 1 vote

becoming the American symbol. It is a beautiful fowl in its likeness.

(Religious believers). I saw on TV the other night 2 men fighting on an

ultimate fighting adventure and it was legal and on TV but there is big

money involved in it and it was ok, therefore I think cockfighting should

be legalized and the monies used and be taxed. and the revenue goes

for paying taxes.

3188. Steve Decker im even more of a redneck

3187. Dan Stitt im a redneck

3186. Robert Adams Long live the gamecock

3185. Jacob Wright Its a sad day when you can drive by a broiler farm where they raise

chickens in the poorest conditions, and that is legal, but cockfighting is

banned. These birds recieve the best treatment, and happiest lives.

This sport is a part of my heritage all the way back to immigration. It’s

sad it will fade away.

3173. Selena Thompson I believe that if people would like to have cockfights, I think they should.

It’s what they love to do and for some of the men it is all they know.

Why should we take that from them? One should look into the lives of

these familys and see how much cockfighting is apart of the life.

3172. Bobby Jason Barley Ive not raised fighting cocks in 10 years, but I think about it all the time.

My father loved it and his father loved it and his fathers before. They

say its okay to be gay its okay for humans to fight they even say its

okay to kill a unborn child but its not okay to let roosters be

themselves. I was raised to treat my birds with respect and to give to

them even if I had to do without. Who has the right to tell me right from

wrong other than god. Everyone who loves there history and country

should stand togather for there rights. BRING THE SPORT OF KINGS

BACK.

3171. Steven Crews It’s about time

3170. Homero Lopez Gamecocks aren’t trained to fight or be agressive. It’s in thier blood

and comes natural to them. If made legal , by all means … Tax the hell

out of it. Im allmost positive , thier isn’t a cocker out thier that would

have a problem with paying thier dues. In exchange we ask that you

leave us alone and let us enjoy our birds.

3159. Ruben Castellanos I think it to be the saddest thing when the cultures of our people are

being taken away from us by these corporations that kill thousands of

animals per day and consider themselves animal protectors. They are

so asanine asking people for donations so that they can euthenize 600

birds in one location and regarding our birds as too agressive. It’s

depressing to see how bad our economy is in California and to realize

that there’s a multi-million dollar solution right in front of their faces and

yet all they do is make laws that impede people like me from geting out

of the recession were in. Well hopefully our customes don’t end up

being squashed under so many laws. Good luck and thank u for

keeping the fight. I know me and all my fellow breeders will keep

fighting these California laws.

fighting involves family and doin it together

3121. Diane Jessup While watching chickens kill each other is not my idea of a good time,

as an animal lover and 20+ years animal control officer, I feel that

fighting cocks live an extremely humane life up to the point they are

pitted. They are far better cared for than other fowl. They may die in the

pit, but it is no worse than the BILLIONS of chickens killed by KFC.

money. Lets bring it back. Theirs no harm. The country could benefit.

messing with folks tha play with chickens.do they realize i can go in the

back yard and brutaly murder a chicken!(cut its head off like granny

did)and that is ok,but i cannot use the birds natural ability to please

myself or make money?but i can make a huge bull buck and spin and

charge for amusement and money.I can hunt with firearms big game in

pens that have no way to escape for pleasure and money,blow half a

leg off and lose the bloodtrail and let the animal suffer and

die,SLOWLY!!!!but this is nature and life on earth and only the strong

do talk to them and threaten them. And for them thats what they would

rather do than anything else. Its their nature and thier gona fight

regardless its all someone can do just to keep them apart. And the

goverment could make a killing off rooster pits on taxes and all the gas

spent going there hotel renting or make there be a licens and charge

$100 a permit . Millions of dallars could be made and if everyone

there blood.

3021. randall william hardwick there is nothing wrong with cockfights

3020. Timothy Lester i have never attended a cock fight. i have owned a small sting of game

fowl but only in the past few years. if people can fight in an arena and

kill or severely injure each other why can we not allow these birds who

fight by nature not by man do what comes natural to them?

3019. shirley lucas

3018. ruben Its a free country

3017. Timothy N. Anglin

3016. Alex Zuniga legalize cockfighting land of the free

3015. Dr. David E. Harrington Until man decides to stop killing his brothers, he has nothing to say

about the fate of a bird.

3014. John Myles

3013. Alex Tejeda I do not fight gamefowl, but I don’t see anything wrong with it. If

everybody who owned fowl let them be,they would suffer much more

than in an organized fight. Many fowl receive better care than most

children in the world in my opinion. People who are against this have

not experienced it for very long if at all. Like I said, if the gamefowl had

their way, they would all become extinct in about a year. Abortion,

hunting, boxing, and UFC fights are just a portion of bad things that are

tolerated here in the US. Native Americans did it before any white man

arrived in the US; why take part of their culture away as well? Legalizing

this would also make a great boost in the economy. Many people travel

across the world just to see a one day cockfighting event. Thousands

of people in the world have died in war even presently. We can take

someones life in war, someone who doesn’t want to be killed and taken

away from family, but we can’t let two gamecocks battle together

willingly? Make the country better. Legalize

is know we can all make ends meet with this working they can get there

dollar i would be just fine with that

2959. Lesa Gambrel I see nothing wrong with cock fighting, I”ve been around it many years.

Regardless if its done in the pit or in the front yard or regardless if

someone is even handling the cocks, they will fight. I don’t see it as

animal cruelty, especially when the only purpose for these types of

chickens are to fight. If you ask me its the chickens that we eat

everyday and their living and dying situations thats cruel. You stick

them in 2X2 cages piled up on one another where if one uses the

bathroom the one underneath gets it. These chickens live atleast 2

years before their fought, whereas the chickens we eat int he super

market only live a few months before their killed. So what’s inhumane in

this situation? Ask yourself.

2958. RAFAEL MARTINEZ

2957. Brian It should be legalized immediatley

2956. Anthony

them too sleep??

2775. maria smith

2774. jason smith I will forward this petition to everyone i know

2773. Avery Bell

2772. Carlos Estrada Cockfighting has been around for years I personally dont look at it as

cruelty to animals. fighting roosters have it in their blood that’s why

they’re called fighting roosters. It’s in their blood by nature. On the

other hand the United States of America considers this as cruelty to

animals but what happens when they seize these roosters from their

owners? They euthanize them, that’s cruelty to animals. They should

just let them fight in that case they should banned UFC fighting that’s

cruelty to humans but it’s entertaining the same with cockfighting it’s

just like any other sport.

2771. Tim Ladner

2770. josh v we aren’t criminals, we are being made criminals by hsus and other

groups who don’t “like” our way of life. It is our birds natural instinct to

fight, and we are made criminals for it. Why are women who are killing

their unborn babies not made criminals if a human is a higher being

than any pet or animal according to the bible? Legalize cockfighting and

see how it will help the ecomomy.

2769. REID RHODES

roosters.I understand that if these birds didnt have it in there nature

but there born to fight.

2755. James Thompson Legalize Cockfighting in the USA,

2754. tammy brannan our men fight daily for our rights , but special interest groups work daily

to take our rights away. i’m a buisness owner and the more the hsus

and peta get laws pasted the more my buisness is hurt. i own a feed

company and i have review a lot of hsus paper work and can find

nothing where they fund any animal shelters or help any local shelters.

but htey spend 2 million a year of tax free money on travel etc. if they

are tax exemt why are they not using the money for hte care of animals

not just travel etc.. why does the pres. wayne passell have a salary of

well over 250 thousand dollars a year?

2753. Jose Solano the goverment should not take our national traditions

2752. MANUEL MANZO N/A

2751. chris right on

2750. jeffery looney I think that we should keep our heritage awake and lively and that no

one in the white house with their head stuck so far up in the air that if it

rained they would drown to be able to take our rights to express

ourself away from us.

2749. Jimmy Urmama they are taking away our rights

2748. Carlos Diaz Soler These Kind of Particular Roosters are born to fight. It’s on their nature

to fight. God gave them this unique instinct. They only fight other

cockfighter roosters. Otherwise the interest for these unique animals will

dissapear and they will be extincted from the phase of the earth. Why

not preserved them as they are borned for: Cockfighting roosters?

2747. MARK MONTALVO

2746. tony villalobos why does the govt. spend millions of dollars on a chicken, there is

better places to spend our tax dollars

2745. M. Mundy Its too bad that we stopped teaching the true American history in

1920…actually changing the history books. Reason: They felt it was un-

fit to have the most highly reguarded and respected people in the

history of this country as breeders, participants, and lovers of this

sport….then in the same breath if air say “only scum-bags and illegal

immigrants approve of that sport”. How ridiculous! …these people’s

faces are on our money. Its a shame that its OK to kill 22,000,000

chickens per day in this country for chicken salads……BUT DONT LET

THEM FIGHT FIRST!!!!!!! ….just making a point.

legalization of cockfighting,we need to move now and do something

every one of us suffering for taking our rights,its our traditions and

passion theres nothing wrongs with this sports,this sports gives a lot of

job to the people,its our passion,it is sad that this will end without

sharing to the next generations,one of the happiest moment in my life is

sharing thoughts about the chicken with my dad and grand pa,so it is

very sad that this might not happen again with my son,bring

cockfighting back bring the freedom back bring the tradion back bring

the culture back!long live cockfighter!

they are a hidden terriorist group that prey on people for money to take

care of “mistreated animals” and then turn around to do nothing but kill

them wake up AMERICA to hell with liberals lets stop this ongoing

socialist rule thats becoming of th UNITED STATES of AMERICA we

in tradition, the loser gets eaten anyway. cock fighting in my eyes is

very human,. and it’s a family tradition that we stoped when coming to

the U.S they should make some type of I.D for cockfighters and tax us

like $30 a month or somthing since the government loves to take our

money. this is a great way for them to make some. lol. there isnt a

problem with cockfight. its a symbol and tradition. Long Live

sport.

2658. Alberto Guerrero

2657. Tammy Adkins I am for cock fighting (100\%) there ain’t nothing wrong with it if you

thing that is cruel then why dont you think it is cruel when you are

sending our men over there to fight for our country which clams to be

FREE but there ain’t a damn thing FREE about it in my book now to me

that is what you call cruel a lot of people are torn apart by the damage

is done by the U.S.A so I just dont understand how you set in your lazy

boy chairs and holler cock fighting is cruel

2647. fred hankins there is nothing wrong with cock fighting, its funny cause i know that

there are thousands of chickens getting INHUMAINLY slaughtered

everyday so that some big corporation can make a damn penny! And

those chickens are not even safe to eat. ……. You mean to tell me you

can let two men or women get in a cage and beat the crapp out of each

other and you cant let two chickens fight . ITS A FREAKIN BIRD . ITS A

SPORT!!!!!! just like boxing ., or cage fighting , or wrestling. come on

people. make this a sport so we dont have do sneak around and do it.

, it was here before time and will be here long after. take in to

consideration. ITS A SPORT……..

2646. adam young

2645. Allen Kerry Bowen

2644. ryan punzalan let us fight for our rights as a cockfighter. cockfighting is a culture and

tradition in our world we should not let them take this away from us . if

they insist that cockfighting is a illegal in u.s.a. they should or they must

illegalize deer hunting, crabbing, fishing, especially fighting

championships for the humans because to me this is a human

cockfighting. common let us assemble one meeting so we can talk what

is the best thing to do. have a wonderful day to all of u and god bless u

always.

2643. Tammy Adkins I am for the game cock fihgting (100 \%) i like to watch them fight there

aint nothing cruel about it if you put two roosters together there gonna

fight a long hard slow death so why not legalize because if you think

cock fighting is cruel then why don’t you think bull riding and other

sports of the such aint cruel so just go a head and make it legal to fight

2642. Danny Turner I Don’t See Anything Wrong With Cock Fighting SO LET US FIGHT

THEM!!!!

2641. William Lunsford I like the sport of cock fighting why not legalize it we are all gonna do it

anyway

2640. Kathy Turner I Think Cock Fighting Should Be Legalized In The U.S (I’m For It 100\% )

Cause Thier Gonna Fight Anyways so Why not Let’em fight?

2636. Micheal Barksdale if cock fighting was exceptable for our founding fathers then why not

today

2635. Beverly Watson I knew about this sport until i became involved with an individual that

raised gamecocks. I had never been to a pit. At first i didn’t think that i

would like it. But , after going and seeing for myself (before Oklahoma

became illegal) i absolutely loved the sport. I went every weekend, and

found myself loving the birds. I am a middle aged female and i miss the

sport. My boyfriend is Barry Durham. He grew up in Blanchard,

Oklahoma next door to the old Blanchard Pit that was built in the forties.

This is not only his love but mine as well. Please legalize this great

game.

2634. Barry A. Durham The greatest sport on earth

2633. Ray J. Millard Our economy needs all the help it can get, Cockfighting puts a lot of

money into the economys of some of our hardest hit communities from

which it has been banned.

2632. Ricardo Torres roosters will fight out of nature regardless if people are watching them

or not i say leagalize it and let us enjoy this sport that has been enjoyed

even by past presidents!!!!

2631. CHARLES FREMIN If the government would pass taxes on getting into the show and to say

have a farm even a tax or licence to cross state lines this country could

come out of debt with birds not animals like the pepole aginst us call

the birds

2630. Paul Scearce .

2629. Billy Nicely It is ok to send our sons across the line to fight for freedom,but it is

illegal to send our cocks across the line for sport as our founders of

this country did.

2628. Marsha Nicely Prove we are the land of the free and give us back our freedoms.

2627. Robert legalize it

2622. Jason Harris Its our god givin right government needs to back off

2621. Adan Delgadillo Cock fighting is not animal cruelty the birds are born to fight and die.

Cocks are not made to be eaten or for eggs so why not fight them. As a

Mexican growing up in Texas I’ve seen a lot of cockfighting and its very

wonderful, beutiful, and entrataing.

2620. scott myers i see nothing wrong with the sport..

2619. andrew szydlowski Get the governement yout of running our lives

2618. DANNY and another thing these freakin birds fight on there own my broodfowl

got out the other day and it killed itself in the middle of the night

because he was wonderin around the yard fighting every damn bird i

had and it ended up killing him self i had nothing to do with it because i

was inside the house Please who ever wants to bring this wonderful

sport back lets stand up and make a change people and make an

organization i think we have one but come on we need to make it bigger

then the people who are taking our rights away get involved ANY

IDEAS ON HOW JUST LET ME KNOW OR SOMETHIN AND ILL TRY

EVERYTHING I CAN TO HELP BRING OUR SPORT BACK

2617. Danny Disney whats wront with our society i mean cockfighting has been legal for so

many years and all of a sudden its against the law what gives thoughs

people the right to take our heritage away the birds would fight with or

without our help and alot of familys needed the income from the game

fowls they rise i say LET COCKFIGHTING LEGAL LIKE IT SHOULD

HAVE BEEN IN THE FIRST PLACE ITS OUR BIRTH RIGHT

2616. henry aguirre cockfighting is really fighting dinosaurs , reptiles that have scales and

lay eggs to reproduce ther is no law against fighting reptiles, dinosaurs

actually.

2615. donkey donkey

2614. joe hankins game brooder

2613. Randy W. Hughes I’m sure the raising of the gamecock plays a major roll in our countries

economics.

2612. Beto Cortes I think Cockfighting should be legalized because its a tradition passed

down threw thousands of year and i don’t think it should be ilegall. ITS

A TRADITION. You gyz should be worried about all the serious

problems like the war an economy,not people following a tradition they

have a passion for.

2586. Philip Ownby Please consider that there are others ways of life besides folks that live

in huge metropolis areas. We in the rural areas still live what I think is

the American dream. Cockfighting is not the horrible thing that the

HSUS and PETA have made it out to be. These birds are a part of

history and we as Americans deserve the right to continue breeding

and testing them. Just because a group of so called “do gooders”

don’t agree with our way of life does not give them the right to take

away our priviledges as Americans. Please reconsider reversing the

laws that have passed that are persecuting Gamefowl enthusiasts like

myself and all the other fine gentlemen/ladies that have signed this

petition.

2585. Tony Luno

2581. Richard b Franklin i wont my freaken rights back! legalize cock fighting in the us!

2580. mike ruan i was born in to this sport i could remmber as a child spending time

with my dad and those were the best days of my life and now that i do

the same with my son now these days are now the best of my life. i can

also say coming from compton ca there was alot of bad stuff going on

around me but taking care of 150 game birds kept my out of trouble .

2579. athony cashen as a tax paying and voting citizen should i be deprieved my rights

2578. Al Sogo obviously the humane society obviously don’t know anything about

raising these awesome birds that’s why they don’t legalize it. If they

engage in this fowl maybe they will change their mind of not legalizing

this sport. I will say this birds are born protect their own territory and

they risk their lives to protect it. in the wild only the best male can live.

just like any other territorial animals. Those who engage in this sports

they spend a lot of money to take good care of them! and if the humane

society saying it’s cruel the answer is not. If our fowl was killed in the

battle we feel the pain too because we take good care of them for

years! the fighting is an art just like martial arts in human they have their

own style of ighting and why we are amazed on them.

2572. David Rodriguez cockfighting should be legal! thousands of chickens are being killed in a

brutal way too. if we were to create a ring like they do for a horse racing

then all the illegal gambling wouldnt be a problem. cockfighting is also

apart of my cluture and our four fathers did it. its in there blood to fight

there gonna fight no matter what! the wining cocks are treated like kings

best feed that money can buy fresh grass mate all season and dies of

old age. but the chickens that we eat only get to live for 12 weeks! we

do this sport becuse we try to create the best game cock so we fight

them we do this so that we can try to improve the blood line! theres

more things to worry about than cracking down illegal fights, you should

be cracking down crascrack house’s etc.! make it legal agian and wont

be a problem with the law again hell maybe the U.S. can make some

money off it if they make a ring were people can go and fight there

cocks.

2571. Tommy F*** Animal Rights,they should leave us alone.

2570. joe I feel like cock fighting is no worse than killing a chicken for food.. game

cocks or game roosters are born wanting to fight nobody makes them

fight like dogs. the only thing people do is train them so they could be

stronger.

violently stab eachother against their will. Of course there are more

chicken killed to feed the USA than are killed in cockfights, but atleast

the chickens dying for food are helping people. Cockfights are useless,

and is a cowardly sport to participate in.

anythime rooters are caught in a raid they are almost immediately put to

death. It is really about one human controlling another human. There are

many issues that we could get outraged over. Where are the animal

rights people when it comes to the issue of abortion? Now that is an

issue they should get outraged over!

2478. James Craig Bass Cock fighting should be legal. Some of our presidents fought bamefowl

so why can’t we do the same. If you don’t want to fight them don’t own

them. If you don’t want to see them fight don’t go to a fight. But don’t tell

us we can’t fight them. This is taking away one of the many priveleges

that other people have taken from us.We raise take care of the fowl

bought them so why is it any of their business.

2477. Jose M Cordoba I can’t believe this is illegal. I’m sure if some of these freaks had their

way, eating meat would also be illegal.

2476. dallas r bernard cockfighting has been around for hundreds of years

2475. Joseph B. Cruz Jr. I am from Guam and cockfighting here is part of our culture. The

passage of the bill that stopped cockfighting has not only put a strain

2451. April Newton Our government is trying to take away every free right we have.We are

supposed to be the land of the free.. Come on whats free about that,

saying you cant watch to natural born fighters go at it. At least its not

humans beating each other up , killing, or knocking out for the sport. I

SAY TWO BRIDS THAT ARE NATURALLY BORN TO FIGHT IS

BETTER TO WATCH THAN TWO HUMANS THAT TRAIN TO HURT

OTHERS. Ever heard the saying BIRD BRAIN they have small brains

and that is all game roosters know fight, fight , and fight.

2450. Darrell Newton it is the sport of men women and kings

2449. Bradley Newton The game cock sport has been in my family snice my grandpa was a

baby. He would be ashamed to know he couldnt fight them if he was

alive today. Im signing because i think they should legalize it as a sport.

Two men can fight and bust up each other, why cant two birds that are

naturally going to fight anyway.. Take two and put them in the wild and

see what happens.. They will fight till death or till one gives up.. Same

as in the ring There not pets ive seen some so mean you couldnt even

hold them . Natural born fighters

2448. steve antonio please help us in this crusade

few deciding for the whole is what I call Socialism !! These Laws were

passed unfairly by Powercrats, Lobbyist and many more via a system

based on collusive integrated dishonesty not to mention the ignorance

about how this Country was founded !! Our founders had grit, were

tough and did not whince at the squeal of hog, squawk of a chicken. By

the Power above animals and fowl were placed here for mankind !! A

gamecock fights for its territory and breeding rights in a noble

admirable display of courage,gameness and will. Therefore I say,

where would this Country be without “Fignting Men” who put their lives

on the line to protect our Homeland and Families. Now we have people

who are weak minded,gutless, spinless, pathetic examples of an

American that made this country so great !! It has been said that it is

not cruel what man does to animals and fowl, what is cruel is what MAN

DOES TO MAN !! Gamefowl have been providers!!

barbaric he who has never seen a cock fight nor has he ever looked

over the sights of a weapon indefense of this country or seen combat in

2372. Sarah Animal rights movement is not what they claim. Look beneath the

surface and study the facts. Is allowing a chicken to fight which is it’s

own will (see red jungle fowl – wild chickens) any worse than sending

humans to war? Why are you clogging the legal system with this

nonsence when crimes against humans continue – how insulting to the

victims. How does a woman feel when she is bashed by her

husband…. when she sees a man fighting a chicken get a greater

sentence? You can use the extra taxes to help hospitals, education or

donations to starving children. Go and learn about the nature of

gamefowl, and the importance of them to those who are trying to

preserve the breeds in honour of their history. Look at how well the

good breeders care for them then compare that to the broiler industry.

And get you’re priorities straight.

2360. jerry maples I’ll tell you what I think about cockfighting. It’s great. It’s not about one

rooster killing another no it’s much more than that. It’s about

determination and unwaivering courage matched with a will to win

without fear. The game cock inspires those who witnesses it’s gloryuos

dance with death. There have been stories written about men with

poetic candar for thousands of years who did no more in battle than

the average gamecock. I agree that cockfighting is not a sport for the

weak but in the end every one knows even though we often deny it only

the strong survive. Don’t deny the glory of these magnificant animals to

be witnessed in awe. You may just be denying the next Goerge

Washington or Abe Lincoln the key mental edge it takes to win a nations

independence and to reunite that same nation as it threatened to

devide.

could add money to our schools and other possible resources.

2346. Dana Emanuel It would be a good idea if a portion of the profits fom the sport could be

contributed to the animal shelters. Cockfighting is only a sport that

actually comes natural to the breed.

hookin up with PETA to clear the cock fighting circuit, and i think that

this is just a bunch of bull, people aint killin people, and were i use to

fight it was just good clean fun. People against the sport say that

cockers dope up their chickens, well cock fighting has been around

or wrestling match or soldiers in combat my point is peopl die every

day from ourselves and other people that’s why it should be leagle it’s

not any different. Besides chickens are just small dumb animals if you

don’t like them then good you don’t have to just let us have our own fun

and leave cockfighters alone on what we want to do.

2284. Ramon Garza Inhumane treatment to the gamefowl? Check out a chicken processing

plant, where chicken are “humanely killed” by first being electrically

shocked. Gamefowl are superb specimen who are very well fed and

cared for and are given a fighting chance not just raised inside a

building, hung upside down, electrically shocked, then have their

throats cut with a blade. I know cause I worked in one of those places.

2262. Timmy Vance I think cockfighting should be legalized because it has a rich history not

only in the U.S but also the rest of the world. And most of the people

who talk about it have never even seen a cockfight so they dont even

know what they are talking about.Honestly who does it bother its just

some good men out haveing a little fun.Also if our youth would get

involved it would keep them busy and away from drugs and violence

that is going on in our world today.

2261. Chong Vang Finally, someones doing something about this!!!!

2260. Dewayne B. ( ky) Cockfighting is a natural event that will play out with or without help from

humans, or any kind of weapon, in the end there is only one rooster still

living. To ban cockfighting the government should ban UFC FIGHTS,

BOXING EVENTS and other stuff. Lets get real, whos the greatest

danger to society, THE COCKFIGHTER or PRESIDENT BUSH?

2255. Sheldon I belive that if a farmer grows a crop and sells the crop and makes a

profit it is the same with a gamecock. So my theory is if a cocker raises

a biddie into a cock he should be able to place money on him and it not

be considered gambling

2254. Jeremy Havard I wonder what happens to all those confinscated birds? This petition

sums it up, game chickens are (game) why try to prevent it and make

another species extinct!!!

2253. RIck Moses Cockfighting is our heritage, and to not look at it that way is wrong!!

2240. amanda desire’e wells I think that cock fighting should be legal ! We pay the government taxes

if we purchase these roosters we should be allowed to do as we wish !!

It’s been going on for years all around the world not just in the US and

nothing has ever been said until now !! Why? just because of dog

fighting this is completely different and should not be veiwed as animal

!! What’s the differance if you have two roosters in the yard at the same

time what’s gonna happen ? they’ll fight till death !! It’s there nature !!!

2193. Woody Prosperie Cockfighting has taught me that there are consequences to violence. If

more children were raised in a cockfighting family maybe they would

realize this and conform to the norm.. At 20 years of age, I had

considered joining our military service to fight to protect our way of life.

However since cockfighting has been made illegal in my home state of

Louisiana, I can’t justify killing a man if killing a chicken is a crime. Let

the parents of the ARA, PETA & HSUS send their children off to war to

protect their way of life. I will stay home to fight for my rights. Why would

a person consider fighting for a country that places more value on a

chickens life than that of their youth??????

2192. Mr. & Mrs. Tony Prosperie Apparently a large portion of our politicians & their constituents support

a war with Iraq & believe that it is alright to fight our youth overseas in

order to save 5 cents on a barrel of oil, but these same war mongers

would turn a person into a criminal for fighting a rooster. Where’s the

rub? We have elected too many women & soft hearted men to political

office? VOTE THEM OUT! ! ! Bring cockfighting back to the USA where

a person used to be endowed with the right to life, liberty & the persuit

of happiness!! Go to GENISIS in your Bible I believe the good lord gave

us dominion over all of his creations & gave us the intelligence & ability

to manipulate these creatures to suit our purposes. Let God decide my

fate upon my death, not some court of law created by man. The world

is too harsh of a place to allow the MEEK to set the standards that men

should abide by. Man’s law will never superceed Gods wrath if I’m

wrong! ! ! !

Tucson Arizona, when we lost the vote and cockfighting became illegal i

was cruched my dreams of passing on this family tradition was taken

away from me from people i dont even know or will never meet, growing

up i always told my self i would teach my son the sport i will never get

to do that, ive become a criminal,i owe my life to this sport if i didnt have

this sport growing up who knows where i would have wound up dead

or in jail, this sport showed me that hard work and responsibility will

pay off in the cocking world and in the real world,i still have a few birds

to show my children where there dad comes from, they love this

animals, i think the best we can do now is teach this people about

cockfighting try to educate them, get all this big time cockers that you

see in the magazines to stand up and let there voices be heard, this

guys were my idiols growing up, and im afraid to say that i think its all

about the dollar, PROVE ME WRONG!

2164. Doiran Lominchar I am for legalizing cockfighting not only in the US but in the state of

Louisiana as well. LA was one of the last staes that permitted

“cockfighting” and they are passing a bill to congress to stop it/

Change is not always for the better. This sport has been around for

centuries, if the government wants an involvement in this sport they

should regulate it, not ban it. In Puerto Rico it is legal, and Puerto Rico is

US property, they generate thousands of dollars from tourists and

people who love this sport but they can not legalize it hear? If it was

propisitioned well and successfully everyone could benefit from this

sport.

2147. timothy alan chancey As s natrive of Ga Ihave been around cock fighting all my life. reacently

ibought chickens for food and eggs ,due to thr fact my wife can’t eat

many food due to the processing procedure. needless to say due to

rapid growth in my county hunting is now being limited{ BUT THAT IS

ANOTHER ISSUE} an every chicken was killed by varmits. So for the

first time in my life I bought my first game chickens. I remembered my

family always having them .I now own so of the most sought after

breeds in georgia . What a honer an a task to r aise them right. I now

am 40 years old an in my life I have seen alot of things come and go.

Most of them to the middle class white male just how much more of this

do you think we can take. taxes ,gas prices, hunting rights, the right to

bear arms, to envasion of aliens {not to say every man should have the

right to do the best he can} but it’s the way the government handled it

come on give me a brake. just like the war as a north Ga. country boy L

support it 110\%, enought is enought!!!!!

2146. Guy Koch I believe this needs to become legal again.

2145. Miguel Sotelo I agree to legalize cockfighting, being a game breeder myself it helped

me gain more respect for the breed. Cockfighting has been around for

many centuries, these birds hatch ready to fight. Cockfighting is

enjoyed by all, seeing a bird fight for territory and dominance is enough

to give you goosebumps. To legalize cockfighting will increase the

revenue for a state, as well as crack down on drugs. Yes that is

correct, many politicians say cockfighting is centered around drug

dealers, but what sport doesnt have a drug dealer or “performance

enhacing” drugs….theyre every where. but if made legal underground

cockfightin will decrease limiting the sellers clients.

would make more money than the housing and fining cockfighters in jail,

they think that this is a free country. Let other people put there opinions

GO FOR TAXES, AND EVERY COCKER AGREE TO LET GO 15\% OF

THE POT GO TO TAXES WE COULD MAKE IT LEGAL. If the president

of the U.S. wre to raise game chicken on the front lawn of the white

house, i mean 1 cock and about 5 hens, and just let them run loose, he

would understand the way of the gamecock when the offsrings turn

game. Even with the naked heel the spurs will be sharp, and gouge

each others eyes out, and cut each other to death. Then they would

really understand the way of cockfighting.

1948. Judd Bates PETA, what a joke. It is all about money to them. Leagalize our sport

and leave us alone. Probably they have never seen a cock fight as

their views would change. They are wrong about cruelty to animals at

the hands of game cockers. We love our fowl and take verey good

care of them. Better than a lot of people take care of their children. It is

my God givin right and I will continue to do what I love!!!!

1947. Blake Bates MAKE IT LEGAL. IT IS OUR SPORT.

1946. Anthony Bates JR I am 14 yrs old. My dad and I have several gamecocks and hens. We

spend hours together caring for our fowl. I have many memories of

growing up around our gamefowl. A lot of my friends dads do not

spend quality time with them and they get into some trouble. I do not as

my dad and I have something that connects us. As did his dad and he

all of his life. I do not understand. So many millions of animals are

slaughter everyday to feed the ones who oppose what is heritage.

Chickens in chicken houses are feed all kinds of bad things to grow

fast to be killed fast for us to eat. Our chickens live long healthy lives

receiving only the best feed,accomadations and care. All I am saying is

it is an Americans right to fight his chicken if he so chooses. My dad is

in the military and I could loose him while he is protecting freedom in

some foreign land only to have mine,his and everyother American who

wants to participate in the cock fighting sport stripped away. Doesn’t

sound like freedom to me, does it to you?

1945. Anthony Bates We can kill them for eating purposes however we choose. We can kill

them only to remove their feathers and waste the rest. I own game fowl

and I always hear how you must train them to fight and kill each other. I

do not train mine to fight. There is no need for anyone to assume that

they must be made to fight. The people putting down the sport of cock

fighting could better spend their time protecting the children in America

who are physically,mentally,sexually abused or who go to bed hungry

every night. What a shame! The people against cock fighting should be

thanking the cockfighter for being more humane by placing the gaffs or

knives on the roosters for a quick outcome than gamefowl running

loose naturally which would be involved in a fight naked heel until death,

which would last for several hours. That is natures way of only the best

surviving to breed. If they ever figure out a way to collect the taxes and

monies from the pits it will be legal.How many babies were aborted

today?!!!!

1944. larry j. gallien

1943. Michael Mundy The Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act – S3880. Look it up in the

Department of Justice Laws. One individual was told repeatedly that it

wouldn’t help us because of legislation. It’s a federal law!! This person

was also told to keep his mouth shut about it. (hmmm…) He pointed out

things that Peta and HSUS were doing and was told “What you said

about P.E.T.A. and HSUS makes them a terrorist organization.” in which

the FBI has already declared them to be America’s number one

terrorist. Through their actions they have broken the law S3880 through

CONSPIRACY, INTIMIDATION through news media, along with

harrassment of animal enterprise. They have broken this law in New

Mexico and are breaking it again in Louisiana. They are tying to

ammend this law with S261 and Hr137, if they succeed it will make the

S3880 worthless. Why is the law S3880 not being enforced? Laws were

put into place to protect law abiding American citizens. Not private

interest groups that focus only on taking away our rights.

was born.Our founding fathers were involved in this great sport.How is

it posible that a group of so called animal protecters are trying to

eliminate the game cock?In some states it is a feloney to own game

fowl.So what happens if you get cought owning game fowl in one of

these states?They take them away and euthanas them in other words

they kill them.now how is that right,how is that humane,how is that

legal.chickens fight because its a natural to them.Its natural to every

single animal.Turn on the t.v.to the discovery channel and see what

happens,they hunt,they fight and kill each other.Theres more important

things in this world than cockfighting.

1928. Richard Ayson We need America Back

1927. James Arrington long live the gamecock

1926. Rod Biggs Game Fowl have a right to survive. Their eggs are small and not a lot of

meat, they survive because of cockfighting. In the wild the birds as

they turn game around 11 or 12 months old will each fight with their

father until they are killed or he is killed. The fights can last for hours or

days not a matter of minutes like in our cockfighting sport. Another thing

the ones that fight and win are given the best of food and environment

and usually along with several hens. 400 fowl were taken from a

cockfight in Eastern KY because it was in human to have them at a

cockfight. These birds were collected and put to death.

some way to tax the sport, make us cockfighters have to pay some

sort of tax that way THE GOVERMENT would get there money like they

want and they would leave us alone. Everything else is taxed like

hunting, fishing, bingo, casinos. If we would stick together and fight this

to the end we could find a way to tax cockfighting and the goverment

would NEVER make it illegal. HELP FIND A WAY TO TAX

COCKFIGHTING FAST.

1913. Amber Albers i have done this all me life, my parents life, my grandparnets life so dont

tell me i have to stop the most imporant thing in my life, help us to keep

cockfighting legal

1912. hank aguirre usmc-vet ,I believe that if young americans can be sent to a another

countrry yo fight and die for for the right to life liberty and the pursuit of

happiness we should be able to enjoy our sport of choice.Im pretty

sure ther are some New Mexico cockfighters that are fighting in irac

thinking that when they get home they will be able to participate in thier

sport only to be slapped in the face by a law that puts good people in

the catagory of rapists,child molesters,drug dealers etc.That is the tip

of the iceburg.The economy will suffer from the grain farmers to the

restaurants in these towns that survive because of the

cockfighting.Just ask Oklahoma & Arizona .As much as this sport is

Hispanic heritage it is also American.What is being pushed by peta is

not saving the gamecock but driving them into extiction and we are

doing owr part in preventing peta from killing off this very special breed

of chickens that demonstrated courage that our forefathers admired.

1911. Richard H. Williams Re-legalize cockfighting in America. Why do we even bother to prohibit

cameras in our pits if we are going to allow these activist idiots to get

away with using incriminating and misleading videos and pictures of the

sport in other countries against us? These videos are from different

cultures and different methods of competition. We need to utilize all the

membership money collected and pit owners charge an additional

$5.00 per person at the door for an aggressive legal “attack”. Sunset

alone could generate 10,000 to 15,000 dollars per event. Not to mention

all the other pits. Good lawyers can pick them apart……or we could

use the prolong the misery “DEFENSE” method that has proved to not

work at all. It’s time we try something different don’t you think ! I’m not

sure how a private interest group could have soo much influence and

power over our law makers anyway…..hmmmm sounds fishy to me.

Nobody’s gonna care enough to do something extreme until it’s legally

abolished and then….TOO LATE !!!!!!

1910. Elisibeth Jones Re-legalize cockfighting in America. How long are we going to allow the

animal activists to commit countless acts of slander against us? We

need to stop focusing on the defense….and start thinking about a

counter attack on these crazy people groups that are destoying our

legal businesses, taking food off our tables. The defense method JUST

DOESN’T SEEM TO WORK …….DOES IT ? it never has and obviously

never will. We need somone that knows the steps to take and the

people to contact to organize an offense to hit these hypocritt

jackasses where it hurts. That’s not to mention they intentionally

misinform the general public with the most awfull videos and pictures

they could find….these videos and pictures aren’t even from this

country and don’t reflect how things are done here. They simply count

on people not knowing any better…..it’s misleading intentionally, it’s

dishonest, and we have to prosecute those responsible for their

careless wrong doings against the American people.

1909. James Mundy Re-legalize cockfighting. I thought this was a free country….sure

doesn’t seem like it. Why is the government telling me what I can and

cannot do with my own personal livestock anyway? Our roosters don’t

effect anyone that doesn’t want to be involved with them, and the more

people that learn about this sport the less people there are against the

sport.

1908. billy rubal American sensitivity to government intervention in personal lives, the

U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal Damage Control (ADC)

program spent nearly $30 million in federal funds and $15 million in

state monies “to kill mammals and birds considered predators or

pests.” Anti-hunting lobbyists reported the same year that hunters,

only 7\% of the population, killed some 200 million birds and animals,

most on public lands. Why aren’t opponents fiercely attacking the

wealthy sport fishermen who torture a marlin for four or five hours?

“Factory breeding” of fetal pigs and cats for laboratories and some 100

million frogs for America’s high school biology classes of the 1960s fed

an insatiable experimentation on life forms. With such a hemorrhage on

the landscape and in the water, why, asks an advocate of cockfighting,

should legislators be concerned about evenly matched competition,

where there is a chance for survival of the fittest, among gamecocks?

that every State should have their own all out ballet Vote on the Sport of

Cock Fighting and let the peoples right to vote deceide the will of the

people not you over paid by our tax dollars people in Congress! Sorry

blood, sweat, tears, time, money, dreams, energy and most important

our prayers to keep our nation free so individuals have their GOD given

rights as citizens. WHAT is happening ? the people are being strangled

by laws of choice being forced on them by a socialistic liberal group in

order to force into living the way THEY think we ought to. Way to much

BLOOD has been shed for our individual freedoms & rights where oh

where has the land of the FREE home of the BRAVE gone .corrupt and

spineless officials will make a corrupt and spineless nation given time.

Come congressmen/women , senators stand on your OWN two feet

and vote for the GOOD of the people NOT what the other members will

think of you and how it will effect your standings at the next social

event.

1871. Mark Ebenezer Teves

1870. D. M. Mundy Re-legalize cockfighting. Everyone that eats chicken supports the

slaughtering of 22 million chickens a day here in America. That’s

something that people like to ignore, or avoid the thought of. While

they’re eating their chicken salads, they will sit around and criticize

others on topics of : the use of animals by humans and the killing of

animals by humans when they themselves are the reason for all these

chickens are having their heads chopped off. Cockfighting doesn’t

result in even a fraction of a percent of the amount killed for chicken

salads. I guess as long as they get their belly full and what ever pops

up on a ballot doesn’t effect them or their favorite sport or family

tradition, then they’re happy to vote out someone else’s sport or

tradition. If we could only get half of the people that eat chicken to

realize what hypocrites they have been all this time, we might get this

re-legalized.

1869. M. R. Mundy Re-legalize cockfighting in America. 22 million chickens have their

heads chopped off everyday here in America. Those chickens only get

to live 2 or 3 months before they face the chopping block, after being

fed the “mystery feed” and raised in pen about the size of a toaster.

The game rooster lives a minimum of 2 years, being fed the best grains

available, the best alfalfa, the best fruits and vegitables, the best all

around diets and fresh water daily. Not to mention the medicines and

vaccines that promote a healthy rooster. Being raised on some of the

nicest farms anyone has ever seen. “These” roosters are given the

chance to prove their worth and possibly never face the chopping

block, or end up in anyones crockpot. Which one sounds more

humane ? I know which chicken I’d rather be ! The double standard

crap has got to stop !!

1868. Dixie Mundy Re-leagalize cockfighting in America. Cockfighting is a respectable

sport , that is by far the most misunderstood sport of all time. Everyone

I have ever talked to believes that these roosters would not kill one

another if someone hadn’t trimmed down their natural spurs and

replaced it with a steel spur or knife. NOTHING COULD BE FURTHER

FROM THE TRUTH . You have the same end result if a rooster breaks

his tie cord at home while you are away, except he will kill two or three

other roosters with his natural spurs, until he is killed or until someone

realizes what has happened and stops him. There is soo much more to

this sport than just the fighting part anyway. The name alone is simply

“CHARGED” with emotion. Soo many people have been mis-informed

about the sport.

1826. Amiee Mundy NOBODY can make these roosters fight. You spend 365 days a year

keeping them from fighting and killing each other at home with their

natural spurs that mother nature gave them to kill with, their spurs have

absolutely no other purpose. As far as trimming the natural spurs down

and mounting the steel spurs or knife goes, that only makes the fight

equal to both roosters, because every rooster’s spurs don’t grow

equally. By “LETTING” the roosters fight with the steel spur the fights

don’t usually last as long , and is by far less brutal than the way nature

intended. Believe it or not , some people actually believe that these

roosters would not kill each other if someone hadn’t tied a knives on

them…That’s ridiculous. I’ll tell you something else that’s

ridiculous….It’s perfectly legal and acceptable for me to grab a rooster

and chop his head off and eat him, but it’s not ok for me to allow him

the privilage of fighting. NOW THAT’S RIDICULOUS.

put you in a ring with blades on your hands and make u fight and get

killed

1817. brianna mcdougald stop texas bills from being passed!!!

1816. Carol Torree This is something for the government to think about. To legalize

cockfighting would allow collection of revenue so urgently needed.

Instead of continous raising of individual taxes, why don’t the

government find a way to collect taxes from pit operators and

participants. If one understands the history of our country, whiskey

and tabacco was illegal until the government figured a way to collect

taxes. Now what about cockfighting. It is natural for two cocks to fight

just as two fighting fish would fight. If it the gambling, what about the

gambling you folks partake on the golf tees. Now if your thinking cruelty

to animals, sending our young to war to protect people that don’t want

nothing to do with us is more cruel. Think about it, Respectfully, Carol

Torree

1815. david it would make lots of money for our goverment to use like helping

1813. James i say legalize it i mean it’s a sport

1812. Rick P Time to save a national heritage

1811. Dylan Mundy Re-legalize cockfighting. Preset a mandatory tax added on to every

entry fee at every derby at every pit, also tax every spectator ticket ,

every hambuger, etc. That would result in tens of millions of tax dollars

per year for each state that re-legalized the sport. Alot of people don’t

realize how big this sport really is, and still getting bigger. Could you

imagine how big this sport would be if it were openly legal and the pit

owners were able to advertise big derbies and upcoming events in

newspapers and radio, even television ? As it is , people fill the pits to

the ceilings…even in illegal states. Could you imagine the amount of

spectators and competitors that would be generated through simply

informing people that have been misinformed of the sport or people

that have never heard of it ? The amount of people involved that love

these roosters and love this sport would be x100 of what it is today.

The amount of tax dollars that would be generated would be millions on

top of millions for every state.

1803. Dawson Dean This is wrong, some one needs to read up on old american past times,

not baseball and football, cockfighting.

1802. Jaqueline Dean This is a family tradition, and whether you want to admit it or not, an

American tradition. By some of the great forefathers.

1801. Jaqueline Knight My daddy, his daddy, and his dad was raising game chickens since

the late 1800s now my husband, son,daughter, nephew, and

greatgrand son all carry on the bloodlines of such a humble respectible

sport.

1800. Donna Dean My family has been around gamecocks as far back as the civil war.

And it just so happens that Abraham Lincoln got honest Abe from being

a referree.

1799. Daniel Dean If you consider what Abraham Lincoln one of the fore fathers of

America, then you could maybe Martin Van Buren or George

Washington. But look at what these great men like Thomas Edison has

done and they were against war and hurting people but they could

make since that this was a natural act of nature. Even more so then

coondogs, beagles, or even hunting. God doesn’t give us guns but he

gave roosters spurs. Think of that one for a minute, Americas finest

1789. Larry Edwards It is my GOD given right. To abolish it would end the life of a gamecock

for ever. He would be gone as the prehistoric animals have vanished.

Nothing more beautiful than a true gamecock. Losing our young men in

War is acceptable, They not only lose their lives but their arms, legs,

eyes, hands, speach and suffer so mentally for ever and ever and yet

this is socially accepeted. Tell me what is the difference? The

Gamecock is fighting for the same rights , just to exist…..

1785. M. Mundy The name ” Cockfighting ” is one of our biggest challenges. The name

alone is CHARGED with negative emotion to those people that really

don’t know anything about the sport , except for the fighting part. Most

people don’t realize that the act of fighting of the roosters is actually a

very small part of the whole rooster buisiness. It’s an important part ,

but still a very small part. I think if we really want to preserve this sport

and keep it legal in the states that it is still legal in , we need to petition to

have the legal name CHANGED ON THE BALLOT to something that

actually describes the sport , and doesn’t automatically subject us to

slander and misunderstanding of what the sport is really about. That

may sound unrealistic, but it really isn’t. People have legal names

changed all the time, if an item is going to be on a ballot for the general

public to vote on. The humane society and other other crazy people

groups would come unglued. Knowing thats their best weapon.

1784. R L BENNINGFIELD THIS COUNTRY WAS FONDED BY PEOPLE WANTING TO HAVE THE

1765. Patricia Johnson I myself think that having a hobby is great for a family. Having these

beautiful birds has brought me and my family closer. We get out and

my kids are outside as well as myself. We spend a great deal of time

with these birds. At least my kids aren’t inside the house all day long

watching cartoons or playing games. If loving this sport makes me and

mine wrong then what makes us right. How can a sport that draws a

family together be so wrong?

1764. Bee Thao

1763. keng lor

1762. Michael Mundy As long as we feel its ok to publically kill other HUMAN BEINGS when

we’re at war for a cause like protecting our territory or removing any

possible threats to us or our territory and showing our dominance over

other nations, and being proud of that, how can we condemn a sport

that displays the EXACT same qualities ?? It’s a shame that we felt the

need back in the year 1920 to start changing, removing, editing the true

american history. This sport defines who we are as a nation ! We are

dominant, we are willing to fight for our territory, and we eliminate all

threats. That why the gamerooster was nominated to represent the

United States of America as our national bird, along with the bald eagle

and wild turkey. The bald eagle received the last deciding vote. We

were one vote shy of becoming the fighting gamecocks as a nation.

That should tell you a little about how important the breeding, raising,

and competing with gameroosters is to our American history, our

heritage, our FREEDOM.

1709. Lorin J.K. Torree Raising and testing gamefowl has been in the U.S.A. since the English

setlers. With the migration of other nationalities to this country their

culture as well as the Indians was to raise and test gamefowl. We need

to capitalize on this sport and allow legal pits for testing to be operated

and revenue collected. As Whiskey and Tabacco was it was illegal until

the lawmakers discovered a way to collect taxes. Cockfighting is no

different, the operators can pay a fee to the State which will enable

Federal funding distributed to the state to be reduced. With our national

deficit, why don’t our government operate the country as a business

and help reduce the deficit by legalizing raising and testing gamefowl.

1708. Galen Kidder

1707. wayne galinato legalizing will improve our economy and bring in revenue for a many

1706. Richard Breazeale

1705. Alfredo Pasatiempo We need to educate and work with the animal activist , religious sector

and our US Congress on benefits of legalizing and taxing the gamefowl

industry! Everyone will definitely win, including our beloved gamefowl.

1704. BJ HUNT It is unfair to have a law that changes the course of how a species was

created by god..these animals wether wild or demesticated have

natur4al instinct to battle for4 supeiorty.. for a few people to deny them

that or us that is insane… these birds have a better life than 95\%of

any other demesticated farm animals they are taken care of ,loved,and

respected by those who breed and raise them …In my opinion the

sport makes the species stronger and healther just as they would have

been in the wild …. keeping this sport a crime is nothing but a legaly

way to exstinct this creature

engaged in this of sport are simple people who want to live in peace. In

todays entertainment is so very damaging to the human civilization

especially the casino or going to the Bar club looking for fun. How many

family turn apart of that kind of entertainment. Why we human being

tried to curtail our happiness with nature and allowing the damaging

Casino Club Bar to supercedes above all.It is true that cockfighting is a

blood sport. But it is a choice as we all all know it is not a felony to eat

chicken sold from Walmart and etc.Don’t lislen your both ears to these

Animal Right Activist because these people seeks happiness in going

to Casino or Club Bar for entertainment.And they have there own

political agenda which is all the time for sale for the high bidder. What I

mean their making a business at all.Then is their motive Real??? Why

the poor people will be taken off their happiness all the time, Why the

poor people has no voice????

it is who i am, i can recall growing up and always thinking to my self,

one day i will pass this on to my children, and one day in arizona the

passed a law that said i couldnt do that,all my dreams were broken,

and all because some group of people ive never met came into my life

and took my dreams away, to me that does not sound like freedom, i

still raise gamefowl to this day, cause if it wasnt for my family and

gamefowl who knows were id be now, mabey going down the wrong

path.cockfighting will never die its to deep in our heritage as the

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, this people that vote aganist us dont

know any better, how can they say that the life style we live is wrong,

when 90\% of the time they dont even know about cockfighting, they

have never walked a day in my shoes, its up to us to educate this

people, not fight them but to educate them, i know we can win this

beyond.Pridefighting on TV has a huge following and viewers are

charged to pay to view.In the Phillipines, there are hundreds of

liscened arenas to view this time honored sport! Congress men and

women its time to look past the HSUS and look what poeple really want.

There is no difference between three razorblades on a broadhead in

deer hunting, or a gaff used in fishing.The thing i do not understand is

why the USA could send two uncles of mine off to foreign wars and get

them killed and their nephew has to travel across three states to fight a

chicken! They were both cockfighters and were proud of this great US

of A. If you would legalize cockfighting the revenue from across the

country would be immence! From liscences to motels and everything in

between cockfighting would be king!

shot if he can see his shooter; nor will any fish take the bate if it knows

there is a hook waiting. But two gamecocks will go over food or hens

just fight so why not let us have our sport just as do the hunters and

fishermen do.

at school that the root of war is when humans mimic and think like

animals. This happens on a legalized cockfighting farm. My civil and

human rights were violated. PLEASE MAKE COCKFIGHTING ILLEGAL

FOR HUMANITY.

1486. Terry Harper When a society begins to make laws that punish those that have not

harmed their fellow man in any way that society is headed for chaos

and tyranny. When one group of people deem themselves so superior

to others that they have the RIGHT to determine what the INFERIOR

segments of the society can and cannot do , the results are exactly the

same as is seen in the Muslim extremist groups in the middle east and

the creation of states like Nazi Germany!

1396. Jared Faulk I am handicapt ! This is one occupation I am capable of. I am a gifted

breeder going back to AG. in school. Since I have become a game bird

breeder I can enjoy my passion with animals. Should breeding these

spirited fowl become illegal myself among many other handicapt

breeders I am acquainted with would have NO INCOME, and years of

time and money waisted. NOTE: Perhaps there should be an

amendment made concerning this to the ADA (Americans with

Disabilities Act) law. I have lost enough through my disabilities, I should

not be denied the freedom I was born into. The Constitution states, ”

We The People ” not ” We The Government .!” The hipocracy of it is the

U.S. does have State Lottos but they dare deny us cockfighting.

Politicans it seems take huge pay off’s from HSUS suporters to choke

poeple into silence by denying me and other Americans in this

business to have a voice and to be heard………Legalize

Cockfighting..Do not denigh myself and countless others the same

freedom and libertys Forefathers had!!

they nolonger are on drugs, and going to court for the trouble they were

causeing. if just one person in the gamefowl line can help just one child,

off drugs and stay out of trouble, then thats something big to me

..drugs are killing our young ones today. because of these animal rights

people. that has no clue in what it takes to raise and take care of

gamefowl. the law needs to leave us alone and go help the homeless

thats dieing everyday on the streets. and put a stop to the drug rings

thats killing our kids today.i have a 4 year old that loves to help feed

and take care of my fowl. and as long as it keeps him off drugs and

drinking ill have gamefowl untill i die.. thanks.

Department and Clothing Stores have all suffered loss of revenue. A

simple tax, collected at each Testing Operation would ease. if not

erase. the tax burden on the Local, State and National levels. Education

animal cruelty, then most of the animals they get are killed, so they

waste all that money to save them supposedly then they turn around

and put them in a gas chamber to breather toxic fumes while they

suffer, the goverment should disban the animal rights orginazations and

put all the money to good use like feeding the starving or helping the

poor in our country. But no they want to bother people with gamefowl

who do nothing wrong, all we want to do is raise the best fowl and

watch them be the warriors that they are meant to be, but we cant even

do that because of the animal rights lunatics. LONG LIVE THE

GAMECOCK!!!

1161. Wayne Blevins Legalize our nations and the worlds oldest sport give us back our

heritage and what is righfuly ours.

1160. Daniel Rosado Is a sport,as save or better than boxing. What is worst,two birds

fighting or a dead boxer from a punch. I go for the bird and invite the

boxer to watch!

1159. Marsha Verber 100\% in favor of letting real tax-paying American citizens do something

that has been historically one of the greatest sports the world has ever

known. The benefits to our country would be enormous and it would

provide many states with economic benefits as well. Isn’t it about time

our country concentrated on real crimes against our citizens instead of

making criminals out of law abiding folks who want to do something that

has been done for thousands of years? Especially since the laws

against cockfighting have been pushed by special interest groups that

spread incredible misinformation in order to get these laws passed.

1096. John Lambert I think cockfighting should be legalized for it has been a true sport of

gentlemen and royality and I think that this keeps alot of men from

having idle time on their hands to get into trouble. Because they have to

take care of their gamefowl every day. Cockfighting is one of Americas

first sport and I think it should continue. Gamefowl suppliers such as

feed stores, Vet. stores and stores that sell supplies will have reduced

sells and most importantly to you people you will inturn loose alot of tax

money. It affects alot of sells: gas, clothing, supplies stores, vet

supplies.

1095. John Lambert I think cockfighting should be legalized for it has been a true sport of

gentlemen and royality and I think that this keeps alot of men from

having idle time on their hands to get into trouble. Because they have to

take care of their gamefowl every day. Cockfighting is one of Americas

first sport and I think it should continue. Gamefowl suppliers such as

feed stores, Vet. stores and stores that sell supplies will have reduced

sells and most importantly to you people you will inturn loose alot of tax

money. It affects alot of sells: gas, clothing, supplies stores, vet

supplies.

951. Billy C. Morris

950. nic We as Americans must strive to maintain the very things that make this

country as great as it is. One of these things is a little thing called

freedom. By outlawing something with such cultural significance to the

roots of this country as cockfighting, you have not only robbed this

generation but future generations to come, of the culture and heritage

that helped to create this nation. We cannot give in to opinions of the

few loud mouths living in suburbia who would like to dictate what is best

for us. This nation was founded on the backbone of hard working

individuals who wanted a place to live life free w/o persecution. If we do

not bring back the noble sport of gamefowl we have lost the very

essence of what America means. Freedom.

949. Stepnen L. Corley Cockfighting is deeply ingrained in much of the American culture. It is

not something that a law can simply do away with. America is losing

much needed tax dollars, and fathers and sons are missing to much

time together. Legalized cockfighting would bring both to our nation.

948. gina morgan

attack another country and kill it’s occupants but cock fighting is

”cruel”,go figure.

932. carl j edwards i love the sport i have done it for years. People say that the sport is

cruel but look whats on tv boxeing what is more cruel two roosters

fighting or two men fighting you decide. Cockfighting is a sport and a

tradition why teach history in school you learn about wars in that

subject and our veterans fought for this country our ancestors done it

why cant we. One might say this is a FREE COUNTRY what is so free

about this country when a human cannot fight the animal that was

fought hundreds of years ago. When a cockfight is raided what

happens to the birds that have not been fought? The birds are

killed,now tell me how cruel that is when two roosters go into the pit to

be fought one has the chance to prove that he is best PLEASE

LEGALIZE COCKFIGHTING IN THE U.S

quite a bit of money into our economy. If people don’t like it than they

don’t have to worry about it just stay out of it and let us do your thing,

we don’t go out complaing because you guys choose not to eat meat or

wear leather or those sorts of things. It’s the least you could do, after all

you are taking away alot of our hard earnes money foe your so called

against ALL animal usage. Many of those have been designated

groups on the Internet; learn the truth about their agenda.

842. Rachael Berry I feel like it is a shame that we can take things out of our history just

because we feel like it crual or unusual. Does this mean that we will

soon outlaw things like hunting and keeping pets . Hunting used to be a

very popular practice, which still is, that would provide food to your

family. Does this also mean that we will all have to stop eating chicken

or beef just because we have to kill the animal in order to eat it. That to

me is very wrong and should not be allowed. If one person or one

group thinks it is wrong they are entitled to their opinion just as much as

we are. If they don’t like it, then they do not have to particapate in the

practice. But just the same, just becaus you are in power does not give

you the right to tell the american people who have freedom in this

country or so I thought what we can enjoy as a sport and what we can

not.

with illegal imagrant, drug dealers, terorrist, child molesters, murders,

rapes,and theives. Dont you think that maybe they could use the time

and money to stop some of these things. maybe they could use some

of the money they would make off of legalizing cockfighting. well atleast

that would make sense, but when do these people make sense.

805. Billy Tanner

804. M. Pierce We should all stick together on this issue ,and try to take back some of

some laws to protect us from the terrorist we have right here in the us

,going around and using our law enforcement, to terrorize honest

country people that have never hurt anyone.We need our law

enforcement do deal with all the dopeheads,chiid

molesters,thieves,rapists,murderers,most of us are hardworking,law

abiding citizens,LEAGALIZE PLEASE

803. Rodolfo Soria Cockfighting is part of a culture not cruelty

802. Roger O’Neal We enter our children in sports such as football ,basketball etc. (and

they have been killed in there sport) The Government enters our

children as young adults in the military by draft. (And give them a

bayonnett knife to fight with) And they have been killed. We pit two

humans together in a boxing ring to fight , and they have been killed.

But we can not put two roosters in a ring. (as a controlled inviroment )

and give them a bayonnett . Gamefowl (chickens) are not trained, They

are born with the instinct to fight for their domain and will fight until death

just like our soldiers. PLEASE LEGALIZE ROOSTER FIGHTING IN THE

LAND OF THE FREE ( USA ).

801. carl patton it makes more sense then eatting them

800. Rhonda Lee

799. CHARLES FO. DOOLEY II

798. Ubaldo Alvarez I would like to say there is a diff. between a rooster and a cock, a

rooster can get along with another rooster in a pen with chickens, a

cock is breed to fight another cock because it’s in their blood. The

sport of cockfighting can bring intertainment and like Arizona, new

mexico and louisiana they found a way to tax the sport. So like Nevada

legalized gambling because the state can tax the sport, they will be

next on the list of legalizing cock fights because money talks.

789. billy good

788. Gayla Brittain the u.s. government has more important things to spend the tax payers

money on than cockfighting. the government doesn’t mind giving a

young man a gun to go kill people with during war, but yet the same

government tells us it is inhumane to fight a rooster to death. what’s

wrong with this picture? our president is not the son of God, yet he is

trying to change biblical history. the sport of cockfighting has been

around since before christ.

787. Jefferson Cheng Why is it that people have to stick their noses in a matter that doesn’t

concern them? I don’t cockfight,, but I do raise gamefowls for a hobby

and I have always loved chickens as a kid. I think that if someone

wants to fight their cock, let them… It’s their lost! Why should anyone

care besides the owner of the cock? I don’t think it’s right that just

because a few people dislike an idea, a whole country has to suffer!?!?

786. monica arguello legalize the sport of kings and countries.

785. Jeffrey Clark to whom it may concern…probably 99% of all people who engage in

the sport of cockfighting, are GOD fearing , family oriented, hard

working,law abideing, and good outstanding citizens….

774. jay turner me andmy family raise game fowl , you know what none of my 4

children are running the streets. every chick i hatch out has a great

sporting chance to live a long and full live and die of natural causes,

you think any chick hatched at tyson’s or pilgrims pride farms will have

that chance. do you know what happens when the humane society or

spca does the game fowl when they get them , they are so concerned

about the roosters not getting killed by us that fight them they get them

and kill them immediately. they claim it is cruel andthey have a right to

live . which what they should state is they have a right to live long

enough for us to take so we can put them to death.

an leave us alone cause the gamecock was just about to be like the

eagle but they have for got about all that hell we fight for our country but

the country will take our rights away we need to fight for our rights in a

offensive way in my opinion but you see our government they are just

interested in how many votes one can get an the damn money

747. lance combs=indianacres

gamefarm

yes they should legalize cockfighting bet if they could tax all the betting

money they would its a shame the ara an peta is a discrace to the

humane race you guys should be paying more attention to all the

children in the world in stead of our gamefowl we take better care of our

gamefowl then you ara or peta which ever than you people take of your

children you people have nothing better to do then to stick your nose in

other peoples buisness you guys keep putting each state down on the

cockfighting deal but really you people are as ignorant as can be who

do you guys think buys alot of purina feeds we do so you see we pay

expensive prices for our gamefowl we care an love our gamefowl how

would you people like someone to take your favorite hobby from you .

you people talking bout the ara an peta have no idea of what a

gamefowl breeder goes threw to save his biddies or his brood fowl

cause you people turn your un wanted dogs lose or the ones who turn

bobcats an junk that can an will harm us an our children

forefather’s for a reason. You took “GOD” out of our schools, and you

saw what happened. Don’t take our freedoms away any longer. We

have brother’s, sister’s, father’s, mother’s, aunt’s and uncle’s, nieces

and nephews, as well as grandchildren oversea’s protecting our rights.

Let us be AMERICA. LAND OF THE FREE AND HOME OF THE

BRAVE!!!!!!!! Let’s keep it this way.

720. allen wells

719. Albert Sanchez Make Cockfighting Legal. These are Chickens we are talking about. We

here in the USA let two men or women get in a Boxing ring and knock

thing. These are Chickens people nothing more & nothing Less,

Chickens..

how we live!

712. David Baldridge I’m not a fighter per say, but I don’t see that is any worse than hunting.

711. Ernest R. Torres The anti-cockfighting groups are so insistent in killing the sport but I

have not seen any alternative to the sport. More importantly, they have

not come up with any solutions on how the communities that have lost

millions of dollars in revenues can recover their losses.

710. Rob Wilkie Who cares, they all fight anyway, whether one or a hundred are

watching. Aristotle said,”two roosters chose to fight, we chose to

watch.”

709. Stephen R. Gibson Love the sport!

708. Zachry Tiberius Frazee Cockfighting is a glorious US institution that has been laid waste by

liberal hatemongers. Please, if there is any decency in the world, allow

a few chickens to fight, it’s a hell of a lot less significant than teenage

hussies popping out babies, or prisons filling up with criminals that

couldn’t find jobs thanks to their half rate educations. Also, we should

confine all Kryptonians (sans Superman) to one of those prizim things

that flies through space. Thanks.

591. Mary Miller I think that whatever someone likes to do for sport shouldn’t be

opionized at all.Yeah people do things that others don’t like, but c’mon

people! its a sport and also a hobby as well if you think about it long

enough. People do crazy things everyday of their life, and people critize

them for what they do, but most of the time they’ll go right back and do

it all over again. But when it comes to chicken fights, like I said, its a

sport and a hobby. Yeah people critize it as well, but they still do it. So,

I don’t think that cockfighting shouldn’t be banned, for one reason my

son loves the chickens and he enjoys all what goes on. So LEGALIZE

IT!!!!!!

590. lynn nash I think that everyone has the right to enjoy what they would like to do,

it’s a right

589. Joey Miller I believe that cockfight is a right that everyone should be allowed to

enjoy as they want

588. Gilberto Cazares I think that if cockfighting is illegal you should either make box illegal or

Reporter

They had people sitting on top of the mail boxes. Many mail boxes

were shut from the inside so that mail could not be deposited. They

illegally intercepted our mail (stole our mail) and email. Everywhere you

went, they were: “IN YOUR FACE!!!”. They swarmed people with their

Ford cars, they kept driving and driving around in circles. They

attempted to steal money from people when they deposited money into

their bank accounts. They had “street” soldiers trained in

psychological warfare patrolling the streets, schools and shopping

malls. Read my commentaries @ chestertontribune.com ,

convicted of rape or drug charges. I served my country to protect my

rights and freedoms as well as everyone elses. I feel it is unfair that my

rights and freedom are taken away just because a few people that

know very little about the sport don’t like it, so theirfore no one should

enjoy it. Why dont we start outlawing boxing and football why we are at

it. The average Game cock that is raised on a string walk has a 12 foot

circle to walk in, a perch, the best of feed, care and love for 2 years

before he is asked to go into battle. If the rooster is successfull in battle

he will spend the rest of his life out on the walk being loved and having

offspring untill he dies a natural death. Chickens raised on poultry farm

are crammed into small cages with several others or raised in large

poultry houses where you can’t even squeeze one more in. They are

put on a high protien diet and slaughtered at 6-8 weeks of age.Now you

tell me what’s more inhumane.

everone said it is then why cant we play one of the oldest and most

popular sports in the world cock fighting. Why wast your time arresting

someone for playing a sport because the gamecock will fight to the

death with or without the help of man. So why not make cockfighting

legal and start aresting someone who comits a crime.

our officials allowing insane satanic morons like Peta and Inhumane

society to pass laws regarding OUR property! Its time for a change,

NOW. We are a minority that should not be victimized because we are

not armed with the 57 million dollar annual bidget of the INhumane

society. HSUS are a lawless subculture that are anti christian satanist.

they have no place in a country whose primary religion is based on a

book in which human dominon over animals and animal use is

prevalent. Jesus ate meat and wore skin. Get the hence satan!

243. Bao Tran Violence, sex and drugs shown on TV corrupt our young minds. More

and more networks exploit the system to reel in profits. Our children

become immune to what they see, and think that’s how society is. If we

allow conservative groups to scale down on what is being broadcasted

as purely entertainment, then we are taking away that freedom of

expression and freedom of choice. Companies have the right to

express themselves; we, as private citizens, also have the right to

choose what we watch. This principle applies to our basic right to

express ourselves as cockers, while the ARA’s have the right to

partake or not in the sport.

242. Josue Viera I think that if people have the right to go out and destroy nature by

killing deer and other parts of the nature environment,why shouldn’t we

be able to fight cocks when we are the ones who bust our butts raising

them.

there has been freedom itself .why dont we try out the freedom thing

here first then we can worry about other countrys..

189. Luan Tran Animal Rights Activists should not justify a ban on cockfighting as

barbaric and cruel activities. Their preconceived notions, exagerated

and manipulated claims are fused by self-interests. If we allow a certain

interest group to dictate a certain norm on our lives, then we should

always conform to the masses. We are better than that. Don’t take

those individual rights from us.

188. Timothy Garcia

187. Bryn Tran Some would consider cockfighting not a sport; Many consider BOXING

149. Juan A. Rios Jr. The tyranny in this nation is out of control. The idea that the backbone

of this nation must sacrifice an age old pastime to oblige a a few

hundred bored yuppies is absolutly sickening. I’m willing to bet with

organization and funding game fowl breeders could pose a formidible

challenge to the law through class action lawsuit. How many sports

precede recorded history in the Old World? The government should

only illegalize the dangerous and immoral. Any cocker knows that

cockfighting is far from immoral. It’s the only true gentlemans sport.

148. Robert Ayala There are far more important issues such as aids, cancer and drugs.

be killed doing so.and how anyone could protect chichens more then

our children makes me want to hide in disgrace for what our

government will let happen for the sake of power and money.anyone

that votes against rooster fighting could never care about the things that

are most important our kids.we eat chickens for the love of god and we

that have strived to retain the beauty and quality of these birds.

cockfighting illegal here in america that will be the beggining of the

extinction of a very majestic creature the “gamefowl” which posses

traits all of us humans can only dream of…the unquestionalbe courage,

proudness and beauty of this bird it will be ashame if someday it will

only be seen on a picture frame in a museum…that will be great shame
