**BREAKING** NCV HAS PASSED

Uh, WMS, an anti-cockfighting measure is not a measure against cruelty to animals.
An anti-battery farming of poultry measure is (Fighting cocks have much the longer and nicer lives ... even if they get killed on their first fight).

Btw - Oklahoma has outlawed it then? Or (gasp) Louisiana? Since my information (dated, 1998 IIRC) NM, OK, LA were the only states where cockfighting was legal, after it had been recently banned in MO and AZ (that geographical distribution sort of makes you wonder what happened to Texas and Arkansas )

Oklahama banned it earlier this year (or was it late last year?) IIRC. I think it's still legal if the cocks were little boxing gloves.

Which is one of the traditional fighting methods ... and the cruellest one (fights take much longer, and are more likely to end in both cocks' death if they're evenly matched...)
