Scott ElkinsI am NOT trying to paint a rosy picture of cockfighting. It is definitely a sport that is NOT for everyone and one chicken does get killed in a fight. However, I was trying to explain it is not as bad as the PETA heads make it out to be.
If one truly was against cockfighting b/c of the animals' rights, then one would have to be against hunting, fishing, eating meat - anything involving an animal being killed. These chickens, like a smart member stated, really are taken great care of - probably better care than some PETA heads take of their children! The BIG difference in cockfighting and hunting, fishing, or killing an animal for food (slaughter houses), is that the chicken is killed by another chicken - NOT a person!
