new mexico bans cock fighting

you referred to cockfighting as torture, and said all forms of animal entertainment should be outlawed, i completely disagree with you. if i am mis reading your position, and am not fully interpreting what you are saying i stand corrected, but thats what it sounded like to me.

 

thats a nice hunk of money to lose, hopefully the house of ag will be able to thwart the next bill that comes through. i didnt realize that many senators were aginst it in LA. like i said were turning into a bunch of damn sissies in this country!

 

no i dont think cock fighting is torture im just mainley talking about people mixing human rights wih the right to do whatever we want.Im wondering what if i think its amusing to beat puppies to death?should i be allowed to because im human and its my right to treat animals how i want?As far as the entertainment issue i am mainly speaking of the circus what they do to those animals IS torture any way you cut it.Trust me id rathar see that shit outlawed before bird fighting,at least fighting is natural to animals.With that being sai i have to ask is it really entertaining to watch birds fight?if i picture it in my head all i see is two birds pecking at each other!

 

as a new mexican i am glad to see cock fighting banned. and chloesredboy they attach razorblades to the birds.

 

iTS ALL POLICITAL BULLSHIT THEY DONT KNOW CRAP ABOUT GAME BIRDS JUST LIKE THEY DONT KNOW SHIT ABOUT GAME DOGS................

 

They do not attach razor blades to those birds.....dramma queen!!! and you are misinformed.

 

C'mon man don't you realize it is exactly that attitude that makes people like you lose credibility in a discussion like this. Anyway where is that thick skin and tough shell I hear you all telling the newbies to develop when they complain of the way the "regulars" sometimes rip into them. Seems like some on here such as yourself have very sensitive skin and very thin shells. Maybe that "thick skin/tough shell" rule only applies to the new folks. Toughen up and learn to roll with the punches!!

 

You are right........they attach extremely sharp spurs !! Have you never seen a cock fight?

 

how would one even go about attaching razors to birds??

 

Yes, I have. Not my bag,but I know a little about it.


Edit: Penned chikens will kill each other too.

 

NM- ever seen chickens fight WITHOUT gaffs (and hell no, they are not razor blades!)? Ever seen chicken processed? Ever seen chemically induced feed lots?

 

they sure as hell do i have witnessed at least 15 events and everyone of them had razorblades involved. how do you think these birds inflict the damage they do. wise guy

 

You are yet again proving to be a moron NM pits. They do not attach razor blades, once again your speaking strong opinions on something you have no idea about. And why would you go attend "at least 15 events" if you despise it so much. Hmm....

ETA-let two gamecocks loose near eachother, without gaffs and see what happens. They will more or less club eachother to death, over hours time. I gaurantee after that you'll be begging to put them back on, and let them finish it quickly!

 

They are spurs, not razor blades....freaking dramma queen!

Edit: thank you Rock, Gaffs.

 

worked in a slaughter house for a short time so yes i have seen what goes on there. cattle being skinned alive and all sorts of of crap that would make any person stop eating meat. that is why i now eat meat from kosher slaughter houses.

 

i guess the blades is the way they do it here in n.m, my best friends father participated in these events for years we used to go watch to see what it was all about. how you going to try to tell me what i seen with my own eyes you folks never cease to amaze me.

 

oh ok now i know what N.M. is talking about and they are spurs not razors.

 

They look like long slightly curved spikes. Some attach to the birds legs with wraps that look in a way like leggings. Some spurs/gaffs have a small thin rod that slides down into the wrap leaving the weapon sticking out. Sometimes the "gaff" becomes so deeply embedded that the birds have to be pulled apart. Some of the brave owners load the birds up on stimulants before the "entertainment" begins.....wonderful fun for all!

 

Fun for some folk.....I like snares as opposed to feeders.

 

"Some" is the key word. Just like "some" dog-owners like to let dogs "flash" before a show, meaning they let them roll for 5 minutes before their match. The idea, is getting them started, and far enough ahead by the time they burn up (because yes, either method will make a dog burn up and be useless after a time) that they will already have won. The men I've talked to in the birds, laugh at this idea, and know they are going to win 9/10 with game animals, beating inferior supplemented animals.

It's rubbish. Just like it would prove nothing for me to say "some" people feed their dogs gunpowder. Or "some" pitbull owners sell drugs and own guns. Does this mean we are free to judge everyone by some terrible examples? If so, let's eradicate all humans, because of Stalin and the thousands of child molestors we've had. Don't make sweeping generalizations, it would be like me saying you like hunting because you have a small pecker and feel big with a gun. I can assume thats not true, and it's extremely disrespectful to say it, but I'm sure a handful of people hunt for this reason, so by your tactics, I'm completely free to say this, and judge everyone who hunts?

I don't particularly even like the birds, they are annoying, and I would just assume shoot all of them, then take care of a few gamecocks. Even egg-laying hens, they are too damn loud, all day long. However, it doesn't give me the right to pass judgement, and tell others what they can or can't do with them.

I don't like ballet. Ban all theatre productions, and turn them into dog kennels!
