About Us Field Projects How You Can Help Publications ... Cockfighting Fact Sheet Cockfighting Fact Sheet 1. What is cockfighting? Cockfighting is a centuries-old blood sport in which two or more specially bred birds, known as gamecocks, are placed in an enclosure to fight, for the primary purposes of gambling and entertainment. A cockfight usually results in the death of one of the birds; sometimes it ends in the death of both. A typical cockfight can last anywhere from several minutes to more than half an hour. 2. How does it cause animal suffering? The birds, even those who do not die, suffer in cockfights. The birds cannot escape from the fight, regardless of how exhausted or injured they become. Common injuries include punctured lungs, broken bones, and pierced eyes. Such severe injuries occur because the birds' legs are usually fitted with razor-sharp steel blades or with gaffs, which resemble three-inch-long, curved ice picks. These artificial spurs are designed to puncture and mutilate. 3. Are there other concerns? Law enforcement officials have documented a strong connection between cockfighting and the distribution of illegal drugs. Drug enforcement agents often learn about animal fighting operations as a result of narcotics investigations.

23. Ultimate Fight: Our Battle To Save Anti-Cockfighting Legislation A conference committee killed most of the animal protections in theFarm Bill, save one the cockfighting provisions. Their passage http://www.hsus.org/ace/14087

About Us Field Projects How You Can Help Publications ... Ultimate Fight: Our Battle to Save Anti-Cockfighting Legislation Ultimate Fight: Our Battle to Save Anti-Cockfighting Legislation The History In 1999, The HSUS began its legislative campaign to close the federal loophole on interstate shipments. The HSUS turned to Senator Wayne Allard (R-CO), then the Senate's only veterinarian, to sponsor the legislation. Just weeks after he introduced the bill, a gunfight over cockfight gambling debts erupted in Colorado, leaving three men dead. This tragic incident underlined a well-known fact among law enforcement officials: Cockfighting involves not just animal cruelty, but a range of other criminal behaviors, including human violence, illegal drugs and guns. We stepped up our own grassroots lobbying campaign, urging supporters to contact their elected officials. We enlisted professional wrestling star Bill Goldberg to visit Capitol Hill to garner support for the legislation and draw media attention. We also secured endorsements from more than 100 law-enforcement organizations, including the statewide sheriffs' associations from Arkansas to Oregon. In no time, we had dozens of cosponsors in both chambers. In fact, by early 2000, we had more than 60 cosponsors in the Senate alone, including the chairman of the Agriculture Committee, Richard Lugar (R-IN). But we had one major obstacle, and his name was Trent Lott (R-MS), the Senate Majority Leader. Lott had answered the call from Mississippi's cockfighting contingent, and refused to schedule a vote for the legislation. As a result, it died at the end of the 106th Congress in December 2000.

25. COCKFIGHTING -- CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE SOUL. - Jennifer. J. Rose -IN MEXICO CONNEC cockfighting Chicken Soup for the Soul an article by jennifer j. rose indescribing the practice of cockfighting in Mexico. ACCESS MEXICO CONNECT http://www.mexconnect.com/MEX/jrose/jjrcockfight.html

COCKFIGHTING Chicken Soup for the Soul By jennifer j. rose © jennifer j. rose 1998 The Sunday Mexican fiesta at Guadalajara's Camino Real promised cockfighting. I should have expected the "cockfight" would amount to a quick display of two cheerfully bored roosters who could have auditioned for a wholesome children's show. "Genuine cockfights are illegal in Mexico," chastened self-appointed cognoscenti . I should have known that a real cockfight was as likely to take place at the Camino Real as a greased pig contest would be at the Ritz-Carlton. I wanted the blood and gore that nature thrusts upon ordinary surroundings, feeding that perverse fascination many of us derive from encounters with a gruesome car accident that demands impolite staring. The clandestine excitement of the forbidden beckoned. Two decades later, I watched my neighbor Roberto as he handfed chopped fruit, vegetables, and meat to some big chickens he proudly introduced to me as "fighting cocks." Caged separately in spacious pens, these exuberantly plumed and healthy birds didn't look like any roosters I had ever seen, but I took Roberto's word for what they were. Only weeks later did it become apparent why these roosters looked out of the ordinary - their combs and wattles were missing. Sure enough, these really were fighting cocks, and I found myself invited to Sunday's peleas de gallos (cockfights).

Philippines: Cockfighting Cockfighting, or "sabong" in the Philippine vernacular, has been referred to by many as a sport, a profession, a lifestyle even. Or, to others, simply a pastime. Cockfighting, which dates back to the pre-Spanish era, knows no class distinction, where rich and poor alike meet and enjoy the game. Cockfighting, long been banned or driven underground in most other countries, remains largely popular in the Philippines and is virtually the national sport.

HARRISON, Ohio (AP) Bob Hilsercop owns 30 gamecocks, roosters bred for their aggression in the cockfighting pits. For Hilsercop, it's just a hobby. He no longer participates in cockfighting, which is banned in all but two states. But like other members of the Ohio-based United Gamefowl Breeders Association, he has sold many birds to buyers in places such as Guam, where cockfighting is legal. Now the association, with about 15,000 members in 28 states, is in a battle to retain its tax-exempt status as a federally sanctioned agricultural organization. Animal rights groups opposed to cockfighting are urging the government to revoke that status. "You cannot separate the breeding from the fighting," said Wayne Pacelle, senior vice president of the Humane Society of the United States. "The purpose of raising the birds is to fight them. There is no legitimate agricultural activity occurring."

And with the possibility of thousands of dollars changing hands during each fight, it's hard to tell which is the bigger attraction the thrill of combat or lure of gambling. Before each bout, a sharp 3-inch blade is attached to the gamecocks, which are specially bred for ferocity and territorial instincts, making the fight even more deadly. After all the bets are placed, the gamecocks enter the pentagon-shaped arena where a referee awaits them. Each fight is usually over in a matter of minutes.

Cold Weather Tips Finding A Lost Pet Using Products in Animal Testing Endangered Species ... Why Do People Abuse Animals? DOGFIGHTING AND COCKFIGHTING Back in America in the early 1800s, a sport called dogfighting was very popular. Two dogs would fight while people watched and bet on which animal would survive. This cruel sport was legal in New York State until 1866, when Henry Bergh founded the ASPCA and got a law passed that made dogfightingand all cruelty to animalsillegal. Today, dogfighting is against the law in all 50 statesbut unfortunately, it still secretly happens in many places around the country. Dogs are not the only animals that humans force to fight each other. Cockfighting, for example, has been around for centuries. People breed a special kind of rooster and make two or more of them fight; the battles last until at least one of the birds is dead. It is believed that people first began breeding roosters for fighting in Southeast Asia more than 3,000 years ago. Cockfighting later spread to Greece and Rome and then on to Britain, before finally crossing the Atlantic about 200 years ago to find popularity in North, South and Central America. In the colonial days, cockfighting commonly took place in cities like New York, Philadelphia and Boston. Why would people make animals fight? Is there anything you can do to stop dogfighting and cockfighting? Read on to find out more.

Throughout history, many heinous things, such as slavery, child labor, and the subjugation of Native Americans and women were all strenuously defended on the basis of tradition, culture, and even economics. Animal fighting is no different. Some cockfighting enthusiasts claim that local economies will benefit from the money spent by participants in their communities and in local feed stores (for chicken feed). However, economics does not justify the continuation of a brutal sport that involves intentional cruelty to animals.

The Louisiana House Agriculture Committee voted 9-5 over the weekend to kill legislation which would have ended the bloodsport. Sponsored by state Representative Karen Carter, Bill 681 would have prohibited promoting or attending a fight, possessing cockfighting weapons and breeding or transporting birds for matches. But apologists, including Agriculture Commissioner Bob Odom, insist that it is all part of the state's culture and that it brings in money. However, one survey has indicated that more than 80% of people in Louisiana are opposed to the practice - which involves fitting razor-sharp knives and gaffs to the birds' legs. Placed in a pit to hack each other to death, even the "winner" often dies from its injuries, usually including punctured lungs and pierced eyes.
