21. PHILIPPINES PAGE, COCKFIGHTING, PHOTOGRAPHY, ASIA Philippines cockfighting is a national sport and favorite pastime deeply engrained in Filipino culture. http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Pagoda/8849/album.html

Philippines: Cockfighting Cockfighting, or "sabong" in the Philippine vernacular, has been referred to by many as a sport, a profession, a lifestyle even. Or, to others, simply a pastime. Cockfighting, which dates back to the pre-Spanish era, knows no class distinction, where rich and poor alike meet and enjoy the game. Cockfighting, long been banned or driven underground in most other countries, remains largely popular in the Philippines and is virtually the national sport.

I should have expected the "cockfight" would amount to a quick display of two cheerfully bored roosters who could have auditioned for a wholesome children’s show. "Genuine cockfights are illegal in Mexico," chastened self-appointed cognoscenti. I should have known that a real cockfight was as likely to take place at the Camino Real as a greased pig contest would be at the Ritz-Carlton. I wanted the blood and gore that nature thrusts upon ordinary surroundings, feeding that perverse fascination many of us derive from encounters with a gruesome car accident that demands impolite staring. The clandestine excitement of the forbidden beckoned.

MSNBC SAN DIEGO - State and federal authorities described a weekend cockfighting raid as the biggest in U.S. history after agents found more than 4,400 birds being raised and trained to kill at the same compound where they carried out what was then the largest bust six years ago. Hundreds more birds were found at a second training ground nearby in Nestor, near the Otay Mesa industrial area of San Diego, officials told NBC affiliate KNSD-TV. They said more than 5,000 birds were discovered at the two locations altogether . The raid culminated a six-month investigation involving nine local, state and federal agencies in cooperation with the Humane Society of the United States and the San Diego Humane Society. Fifty people were charged with misdemeanors punishable by up to a year in jail and a $5,000 fine, and were ordered to answer to cockfighting charges in early December, said Paul Levikow, a spokesman for the San Diego County district attorney’s office.

Can you tell me about what it was actually like to do the search, and what you found? We had about 40 personnel involved, and we could have used twice to three times as many people, just because when we got there people were running everywhere. They were trying to hide in trees, and we had spotters in the hills telling us where people ran, but several people got away. There were men, women, and children, and we have reason to believe a cockfight was in progress at the time because we did recover two cocks that had very recent injuries. The place was a maze. People were hiding everywhere. Being retired from the San Diego Police Department, I can tell you, this place was so large and people were hiding in so many places, this easily could have been a SWAT incident. Is that because of the numbers of people involved, or are we actually talking about people with weapons who might become violent?

In a race against the clock, state lawmakers are trying to work out a compromise between two competing bills that outlaw cockfighting in the state's dozen or so licensed venues.

The other bill gives cockfighters until the end of the year to shut down operations and get rid of their roosters. For months the Louisiana Senate and House of Representatives have haggled over when a ban should take effect. And a meeting late Monday to select a time frame yielded no results, Lentini said. If a date isn't agreed on before the legislative session adjourns June 28, Louisiana will remain the only U.S. state where the activity remains legal.

36. Legalize Cockfighting In The U.S. Petition Legalize cockfighting In The US Petition, hosted at PetitionOnline.com. http://www.petitiononline.com/roosters/petition.html

Legalize Cockfighting In The U.S. 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.

40. Cockfighting Facts & Frequently Asked Questions After exhaustive research of county records in New Mexico, it is clear that very little documentation of even legal cockfighting and cockfighting pits http://www.apnm.org/campaigns/cockfighting/questions.html

apnm cockfighting Download Cockfighting Brochure in PDF Frequently Asked Questions WHERE IS COCKFIGHTING TAKING PLACE IN NEW MEXICO? After exhaustive research of county records in New Mexico, it is clear that very little documentation of even legal cockfighting and cockfighting "pits" exists. However, based on common knowledge and some limited records, cockfighting is believed to be mostly practiced in the southern and eastern parts of New Mexico. Pits are believed to exist at least in Hidalgo county, Cibola county, Lea county, Valencia county, Sierra county, Otero county, Luna county and Roosevelt county, among others. Part of the difficulty in obtaining records stems from the fact that cockfighting activity seems to be taking place without business licenses and without paying gross receipts taxes. ISN'T COCKFIGHTING EXEMPTED FROM THE FELONY ANIMAL CRUELTY LAW PASSED IN 1999? In 1999, the legislature wisely made intentional cruelty to animals a fourth degree felony, recognizing that intentionally hurting animals was a serious crime. Cockfighting was omitted from the 1999 bill because many lawmakers felt that the animal fighting issue should be addressed separately from that measure. Cockfighting is blatant and intentional cruelty to animals and should be punishable as a fourth degree felony, just like other kinds of intentional cruelty to animals. WHY SHOULD ALL COCKFIGHTING BE PUNISHABLE AS A FOURTH DEGREE FELONY?
