Richardson signs ban on cockfighting
Tim Korte / Associated Press
Monday, March 12, 2007 Gov. Bill Richardson signed a measure today that outlaws cockfighting in New Mexico, leaving Louisiana as the only state where the centuries-old bloodsport remains legal. State Sen. Mary Jane Garcia, a Do±a Ana Democrat who has introduced legislation to ban cockfighting over the past 18 years, thanked Richardson, who until this legislative session had declined to take a stance on the issue. The prohibition takes effect June 15. "Today, New Mexico joins 48 other states in affirming that the deliberate killing of animals for entertainment and profit is no longer acceptable," said Garcia. Richardson signed the bill at a ceremony at the state Capitol in Santa Fe. Cockfighting fans have accused Richardson of taking a sudden interest in cockfighting now that he is seeking the Democratic nomination for president. They also defend cockfighting as a family activity and said opponents were meddling. "I'm so upset that it's damn near ruining my life," said Ronald Barron, president of the New Mexico Game Fowl Association. "I've got 38 years doing this. I don't know if I should hatch off some baby chicks right now. This isn't a business. It's my pleasure. It's my right, or rather it was my right."

The Art of Cockfighting - Bali, Indonesia

The Art of Cockfighting
Bali
, Indonesia

Walk down Poppies Lane I in Bali, on a weekday afternoon and you'll notice the local ballgame going on. I mean really, from the sheer size of the crowd, stadium and the field, you can't help but think this is Indonesia's form of baseball. How sad to be a rooster, feathers pricked, tormented and taught to be pissed off all the time, just so they can have their day in the ring. Once you're sized up beside your opponent, it's kill time, unless you want to be in the dinner pot tonight. Men from all over bring in their prized fighters set in bamboo holsters placed around a square stadium. When it's busy, you can count over 30 roosters that will be fighting that day. They'll start the event around 1pm and end around 5pm. Plenty of blood, sweat and tears from roosters being taken down to money being lost.
Cockfighting is a developed, well thought out sport. Patrons bring their local food dishes to sell outside the arena. The old Indonesian men cook up chicken satay on a 6 inch wide, 1 foot long grill, the old women have whole roasted pigs, and let's not forget about the different fruit delicacies. It's all here at the cockfighting stadium. How do people eat with so much killing going on? The blood itself is enough to make you vomit. Obviously, it's a male spectator sport.

There’s a cockfighting lobby?
Posted by R. Neal
As part of the government’s all-out assault on bird flu, the Senate is waiting for the House to pass legislation that further restricts importing of fighting cocks and transportation of same across state lines. So what’s the holdup? Apparently, House Judiciary Committee chairman James Sensenbrenner thinks it’s a waste of time But the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee has not brought the bill, which has passed the Senate, to a vote. Cockfighting is banned in every state except Louisiana and New Mexico.

Canada breaks record cockfighting ring
Published: Feb. 29, 2008 at 4:35 PM Print story Email to a friend Font size: VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Feb. 29 (UPI) The Royal Canadian Mounted Police and anti-cruelty officials have shut down Canada's largest identified cockfighting operation, near Vancouver, officials said.
At a news conference, Lorie Chortyk, a spokeswoman for the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, said 17 SPCA officials and 11 Mounties raided three properties in the Vancouver suburb of Surrey on Wednesday and Thursday, the Vancouver Province reported.
There was no immediate word on arrests.
SPCA senior animal protection officer Eileen Drever broke into tears at the Friday briefing, saying 1,270 birds had been destroyed, as mandated by the federal Criminal Code, the Vancouver Sun said.
Drever said many of the birds were missing eyes or legs, and many had puncture wounds.

View Current Signatures Sign the Petition To: U.S. Congress
The history of cockfighting is hazy, there does not seem to be a definitive point in history as to when cockfighting became an official sport. In the times before Christ,approximately 3,000 years ago during the times of the Phoenicians, Hebrews, and Canaanites, cockfighting was popular. Breeding gamecocks for fighting in a pit was considered an art and trading these birds was profitable. In Egypt, in the time of Moses, cockfighting was a favorite pasttime. During the height of Greek civilization, Themistocles a general who was preparing to drive away the invading Persians decided to hold a cockfight the night before the battle to inspire his men by showing the courageous nature of the fighting cock. Persian traders loved to gamble by pitting their fighing birds against each other. They would often carry their birds with them and pit a fight in the marketplaces and trading centers.
In ancient Gaul, cockfighting was somehow brought into the country through travelling caravans or by those who returned from Rome or the East. During the Middle Ages in France, cockfighting was very popular. Eventually, France adopted the cock as a national emblem. Today, cockfighting has been driven underground.
In Spain, cockfighting has existed for the longest period of time. How it arrived is uncertain. Theories point to travelling Phoenicians or the conquering Moors. Today, cockfighting is a popular sport in Bilbao, Oviedo, Madrid, Barcelon, and Valencia. Many Filipino breeders travel to Spain to obtain ideal birds for breeding. Many gamecocks in the Philippines have a blood strain of Spanish game cocks.

You can disapprove of Ramirez's cockfighting, but little else
For Dominican Republic, cockfighting is different national pastime
February 15, 2008
Article tools
According to a magazine cited in a New York Times article, the Cubs' Aramis Ramirez is heavily involved in cockfighting in the Dominican Republic.
Stop that, Aramis, many of us will say. Cock-a-doodle-don't.
And then what are we supposed to do?
Rick Morrissey E-mail Recent columns
This might be one of those controversies where it's best to just roll your eyes and move on.
Cockfighting is legal in Ramirez's native land, though that doesn't really begin to describe its acceptance there. Where dogfighting is illegal in this country and relatively few people have an interest, cockfighting in the Dominican Republic is very, very popular.
As your mother might have told you, just because everybody is doing it doesn't make it right. But this issue seems so out of our hands and involves so many cultural and national differences that it almost surely is a losing battle. It's a fine thing to be morally indignant; it doesn't mean it accomplishes anything.
