Not really...cock fighting has been around for at least three hundred years, and it is still popular in Appalachia and the rural South.

Ya starting to see a pattern of total ignorance and stupidity?

Mexicans also love bull fighting...Ya see how the Mexican audiences down there react to the brutal cruelty of these animals?

You want to see brutal cruelty against animals, take a look at nature itself.

How do you think a gazelle feels when it is being eaten alive by a tiger?

Man having dominion over the animals leaves room for a lot of leeway.

There are many things other people do to animals that I wouldn't do. Eating veal, for one example, and cockfighting or bullfighting, for two more.

That doesn't mean that I would criminalize any person for engaging in such activity.

Just because something offends my sensibilities doesn't mean it should be illegal for everyone.

If someone decides to pursue happiness by raising veal or fighting bulls, I won't be their judge.

I'll express my opinion, I'll try to stigmatize their behavior as uncivilized, but I won't fall into the trap of criminalizing what they enjoy, because I don't want them to criminalize me using similar authoritarian logic.

I certainly am if you really think bull fighting came from Mexico.
