Life as a Chicken Fight

This CNN article on the bust-up of what may have been one of the largest cockfights ever (with 144 arrests) is notable for the following quote from one of those arrested:

David Webb, a gamecock owner from Rhea County, said he lost more than 20 chickens valued at $150 each during the raid. "I've been around this stuff all my life. Everything I've ever known is a chicken fight," he said.

That's the stuff of tragedy.

This kind of stuff makes me sick. It's no worse than animal torture.

The guy's who organise these shows are not only breaking the law but also showing themselves for the true savages they are.

If I had my way the penalties would be far more severe to set an example for future would be criminals.
