Ed,

Ido think that ignorance of the law make's you think that this is done by the Democrats, sorry to say that you may part of the problem coz the Republican are the one's that wants to outlaw Cockfighting here in USA and the truth of the matter is , we cock fighting afficionado can't support the very people who is fighting the HUMANE society.

T.Y.

[LMIGHTYWWW]

I posted this to Gamefowl.com but unfortunately nobody commented on this..they just read it. Some cockfighters just want to enjoy the sport but they don't want to support against Humaniaks. Lets get together and do something.

[Tweety-Doo]

Yeah Let's Do It!!!! Lets Bombard Them With E-mails..........

Since I am NOT a US citizen yet I would rather share some views PARTLY condensed from GF news that you may use on your email messages to your legislatures. This is my humble way of helping Filams to find valid arguments when they send their messages. Remember there is a saying (Quote: The Law is REASON free from PASSION, Aristotle 325 BC)Unquote. This QUOTE can be read at the entrance of the Harvard Law School, according to my professor. Therefore, your arguments must be crafted based on valid REASONS, whether it is personal, logical, behavioural,traditional, cultural, economics, scientific, reasons that may be used as rebuttal argument of your legislature against the opinion that the **** may have presented.

A FELONY LAW IS CREATED TO PROTECT THE SAFETY AND WELFARE OF PEOPLE AND PROPERTY.

-GAMEFOWL BREEDING AND COCKFIGHTING IS NOT AGAINST THE SAFETY AND WELFARE OF PEOPLE.

FELONIES ARE VERY SERIOUS CRIMES, SUCH AS MURDER, AGGRAVATED ASSUALT, RAPE, ARSON TO NAME JUST A FEW.

- CHICKEN BREEDER AND COCKFIGHTING ARE NOT , NOR ARE RELATED TO HEINOUS CRIMES.

FELONY IS MORE SERIOUS CRIME THAN MISDEMEANOR. IT (FELONY) CARRIES A PENALTY OF MORE THAN 1 (ONE) YEAR JAIL TERM AND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN FINE.

FELONIES ARE CLASSIFIED INTO A, B, C, D, E,. FELONY UNDER CLASS A (MURDER) ARE FURTHER RECLASSIFIED IN A-1 ETC. DEPENDING ON THE ABSENCE OR PRESENCE OF AGGRAVTING OR MITIGATING CIRCUMSTANCES.

THE U.S LAW ON THIS ISSUE/CASE EQUATES THE RIGHTS OF CHICKENS TO THAT OF HUMAN BEING..WHICH IS ABSURD.

IT IS NOT TRUE THAT GAMEFOWL HELPS IN THE SPREAD OF THE BIRD FLU VIRUS (H5N1) UNLIKE THE CAT (Felis domestica) AND WATER FOWLS. NO SCIENTIFIC DATA/STUDIES HAVE BEEN PROVEN OR PRESENTED TO THIS EFFECT. UNLIKE THE WATERFOWL AND THE CAT [FELINE] FAMILY.

ANOTHER VALID ARGUMENT IS THAT CHICKEN IS A "PERSONAL PROPERTY " AND THAT ITS USE BELONG TO THE DOMAIN OF THE RIGHTFUL OWNERS. THAT ROOSTER OF ANY CHICKEN STRAIN IS A NATURAL FIGHTER JUST LIKE THE WAY OTHER ANMALS BEHAVE WHEN THEY COME OF AGE.

* IT'S A NATURAL INSTINCT OF A MALE CHICKEN TO FIGHT MUCH THE SAME WAY AS IT IS NATURAL FOR LIONS, TIGERS, LEOPARD, ETC. TO HUNT FOR PREY. *


GOOD LUCK..!

[janrich]

Have done my part...I will forward this to all my friends and family here in the U.S.

[rumpelstiltskin]

I do'nt believe that America is the land of the free. why? cockfights are illegal, unlike in the Philippines and Mexico, where cockfighting is a sport of the kings. How come same sex marriage is legal and cockfighting is not? I cannot find logic. Man is for a woman, while roosters are for fighting.hehehe
