Time to Crack Down on Cock. "The driver had no license plate but plenty of chickens -- all of them clucking from the back seat and trunk ... The officer knew what he was seeing: The suspect was headed to a cockfight -- and jail."

When cocks are outlawed, only outlaws will have cocks. You'll take my cock when you pry it from my cold, dead hands. My wife yes, my dog maybe, my cock...NEVER!

I make it a point to only attend cockfights when the combatants are wearing mexican wrestling masks, like little chicken Santos. Seriously, there is no place for cockfighting in a civilised world. Bloodsports are an anachronism which needs to be ended.

You know, if you were going for maximum humor points with that headline, it would have been "Time to Clamp Down on Cock".

You're right, SiW: that would have been funnier. I wasn't sure for a minute if I was CNN, or The Onion. Then I remember that The Onion wasn't funny anymore.

Well, I would have modded it up. What does a girl have to do to get some karma points around here? Oh, wait...

Whatever Kafkaesque.... look at the war America is waging at present. Eye for an eye, it's as old and utterly barbaric as time. To think you're better than anyone else or "more civilized" is hypocritical.

ryryslider is right! The only method by which we can stand morally erect is to reintroduce wholesale bloodsport slaughter! All rational persons must stand with me and demand gladiatorial combat! We demand to see people torn apart by wild animals -- preferably immigrant people, and imported wild animals! Slaves must be thrown to lions! I will not rest until I can see unarmed criminals being shot by the dozens and left wounded for tigers to devour! Failure to embrace my demands will result in unending cries of "hypocrite! hypocrite!" until my throat is sore! You know what you must do; stand with me or be denounced.

A cock in the hand is worth two in the bush or maybe its: 30 cocks in the truck are worth 10 in the bedroom

"The crackdown isn't just a question of cruelty -- cockfighting invariably is accompanied difficult for law enforcement in the states where it's illegal to enforce the laws in that state," Allard said. " i'm having trouble with this. illegal to enforce the laws? what? i like the idea of clamping down on cock as much as the next guy, but... ok, i really didn't have anything to add to that.

Well, it is just possible that it might be easier to prevent cockfighting than the bombing of Afghanistan. Neither of which I am in favor of. What the hell. I can argue if you want, though we probably agree. You will have a nice chance to call me a hypocrite some more. Here you go: Bomb Afghanistan! Kill! Kill! I wanna see blood and gore and guts and veins in my teeth! Eat dead, burnt bodies! Kill! Kill! Let 'er rip, ryry!

There was a cock fighting barn (pit) in my county for many years. I went there once.What I still remember is the action, really fast at first, going to very slow-the drag pit-Massive amounts of CASH being bet. 2 county cops walking in,looking around, and leaving.The smell of hot chicken blood, which was gross. Oh, and I just remembered:A chinese guy taking all the dead birds home in a gunny sack to"use feathers for fly tying"...yeah,I saw the bastard three weeks later at the local noodle shop.
