Ellen Wedum Mescalero, NM	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #1 Apr 1, 2010 "New Mexico Game Fowl Breeders Association?" More like "Killers Association."

kioki Carrizozo, NM	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #3 Apr 1, 2010 If they want to have cockfights, they should get together with the folks in Mescalero and set it up on the reservation. I'd like to see the State Police try and bust them up there

Swear... where in the world have our values gone? We have more pressing problems then people getting together fighting chickens. We have an idiot for a president who care nothing for America. For 16 months all he has talked about is healthcare. Doesnt work on unemployment or illegal immigration. He has spent more time bowing to terrorist kings and tring to make peace with terrorist than he has on anything else other than healthcare. Our values as a country went out in the 60's and havent been heard from since!
Bennie and the Jets “Be fierce...” Since: Jan 10 225 Location hidden	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #6 Apr 1, 2010 I think that... if anyone is using any type of animal in blood sports... that they have serious and pressing issues themselves. I myself like to discuss the issue the post originated from, and tend to stay away from others agenda's to drag their personal issues in. If our values left in the 60's maybe we should look at finding them again?

America treats criminals like they are boyscouts, treats crime with a slap on the wrist. We are so busy keeping up with the Joneses that we have forgotten what made America great to begin with.

More like "Killers Association." cockfighting and dog fighting are the early steps to crimes against people. once you start hanging out with bloodsport people it makes it easier to engage in the other illegal activities they conspire in drug dealing, thievery, and other law breaking behavior.

There is a lot of gambling and drugs involved with this kind of "business". It's sick.

This is well-documented; how can you not see that weeding out animal abusers IS a priority?

I never defended these abusers, just said we have more important issues than roosters being fought for money.

Never claimed that you did, but then, a master of comprehension would have understood what I said, no?
