Ok and I know I will probably get sadclicked to death for this but really who cares about roosters? When our governments across Europe are gassing them Jew style by the millions just in case someone might catch bird ful and become ill why all the fuss about Jones organising cock fights?

Now it's not something I'd want to watch or participate in, neither fox hunting or bull fights but I really don't see how, from the animal's point of view it's any different to being crammed into little pens and cages for their short miserable lives before being taken to a slaughter house where they enjoy live disembowlments and having their throats slashed.

My opinion is this, unless you are a vegan, do not use any animal products at all, either for clothing, makeup, furnishings etc then you can take your hypocritical opinion and F*** off.

Anyone who claims they are against killing animals for pleasure yet enjoys a nice tasty cheesburger or wears the latest Nike trainers or has a nice leather sofa can stick their opinion of their F****** a** as far as I'm concerned.

Hope this helps.
There is a difference, life serves a purpose...domesticated livestock feeds the masses.....dog fighting does what? Bull fighting is "entertainment"....and it's long and drawn out.

sure there are places that don't treat animals correctly before they are processed into food but that's what PeTA is there for.

And hunting isn't similar to dog fighting or bull fighting or anything like that, I know you didn't specifically mention that but you implied it. Hunting when done correctly is used to control populations of animals for the good of the environment and to feed people.
Sorry Lyle, not sure if you're aware of traditional hunting in Britain, but it's a long way different from what it is in America. Basically in Britain, there are lots of large kennels which breed and keep packs of hounds specifically for fox hunting. Then, up until 2005 when fox hunting with dogs was (technically) banned, those dogs would be set loose once a month or so with a group of posh people on horses out for a day of healthy fun riding horses, looking down at peasants and killing things.

Nowadays, they have other peasants who go out and lay a scent for the dogs to follow. IF those scents go through foxes dens which might distract the dogs and horses, then c'est la vie.

Then the dogs rip the foxes and the cubs to pieces, and bring them to the posh people.
