Thanks. I'll see if I can make heads or tails of it. If there isn't a trip up to suspend hunting...maybe some emails/faxes or phone calls of support are in order.

Are you joking are really asking?

You should be familiar with the Mafia....

Cajuns..... Louisiana people of Acadian heritage that came via the French colony of Acadia

Aggies.... Students and alumni of Texas A & M

Then you post was just a joke?

Be kind, I'm blonde. Next time provide footnotes, and mapquest, and maybe a billboard...

I can't even bear to read about the family pet dogs with their mouths taped closed, etc.

I hate Pit Bulls and one day when I was at the Vets with my dog a young man came in with a young Pit Bull with cuts all over it.

I knew when I asked him how old it was and he said, "Oh, I don't know" that he was using it for fighting rather than as a pet.

They sell for a high price in South Texas and many are stolen from families to use for fighting. Some people have no conscience.

These fights in TJ are held on Sunday afternoons, Most of the locals are very well dressed, probably coming from church. I imagine that at the end of all the fights, someone picks up the dead birds and makes good use of them. If not for human consumption, maybe to feed to the pigs or dogs.
