    Well thing's are A changing, finally!! I remember the Cuban missal crises well, my father went there at least twice A year.......he had A cousin who married A beautiful lady from there and they were real close with our family they never had children so when they came to the states they stayed at our house in Santa Barbara. It was A great time, every night was an event.....my father had A weekly card game.....Hollywood (gin) and five card stud were the main games. I remember them discussing Game Cocks, they were big derbys in Cuba then, my mothers family had Game Cocks since before the Civil War in Eastern Oklahoma, Arkansas, Texas and Louisiana!! During those years, (1950's) I was to young to go there, then the embargo!!!
    I was just thinking since we have opened up almost full relations with Cuba I wonder how Game Cocks and Pit Dogs will be regulated if at all! I mean it just 80 miles off the coast, most Cubans don't come with all the baggage animal lovers from here do!!! I have also heard stories over the years of the sports still go'n on! Anybody have any info on how it is looked at in that country?

    Yeah Buddy!!! If it's done right, VOID all the trouble makers.........make it an event that say benefits the school systems or A worthy charity.....rooms....concessions benefiting the locals.......learn from our mistakes.....anything that that portrays the "Sport" in A negative light who knows!!! As most of you know the peta freaks also tried to do the exact same thing to Rodeo, and the Iditarod Race! They were smart and organized, presented it as A TRADITION!!! Game Cocks are A tradition going back to the Founding Fathers!! I still have at least one second cousin there! I made A call, I'm old but you younger fanciers this could be just what you need! I don't want to get ahead of myself here but I think it's quite possible do able!!
