Families who moved to Lea County so that they could participate in cockfighting are leaving since the state banned the bloody sport. Tommy Booth is a former cockfighter and former owner of a cockfighting pit. He said he encouraged about 100 families to move to the area for cockfighting, but now there are only 60 families left. He said they're going to California because orange groves there provide great cover for larger cockfights. In December, state District Judge William McBee upheld the state ban. He declined to issue an injunction sought by the New Mexico Gamefowl Breeders Association and six businessmen to prevent the ban from being enforced. Booth said the association will meet later this month and members will decide whether to continue appeals of the ban.

Now Latino activist Nativo Lopez turns his attention to cocks of a different sort By STEVE LOWERY Thursday, October 6, 2005 - 12:00 am Illustration by Bob Aul The location of Nativo Lopez’s mind has become a subject of interest for those aware of the former political heavyweight’s recent crusade: cockfighting. Yep, the man who went toe to toe with Bob Dornan and won, the man who five years ago seemed on his way to becoming one of the region’s leading Latino power brokers, was spotted recently using his position as president of the Mexican American Political Association (MAPA) to push the agenda of those who enjoy and profit from cockfighting. Lopez’s obsession with cockfighting came to our attention when colleague Gustavo Arellano wrote in a Sept. 2 “ Ask a Mexican ” that Lopez was leading opposition to Senate Bill 156. That legislation would make repeat cockfighting offenses punishable as a felony. Lopez had called the bill “completely oblivious to the cultural, economic and social realities of our community.” A lot of people, myself included, thought Arellano and Lopez were using cockfighting as a metaphor, you know, as for that thing men do to test each other, to see how they measure up, as it were, you know, the reason men buy big trucks and start land wars, all of it best summed up by the Richard Pryor joke about two gents unzipping while standing on a bridge—Gent 1: “That water’s

Cockfighting craze takes wing Isle (Hawaii), cockfighting persists despite laws against it In Enclaves of Rural America, a Cockfighting Industry Thrives Blood sport with chance to win big money attracts many in Philippines Cockfighting craze takes wing: The Philippine national betting pastime is going international By Claro Cortez Associated Press MANILA As if partners in a ritualized slow dance, each rooster lowers a wing and circles nearer the other, neck feathers flaring. Suddenly, one attacks and the other leaps to meet the challenge. They exchange kicks in midair, slashing with 4-inch-long, razor-sharp steel blades attached to the back of their left legs. In a few seconds it's over. One bird lies lifeless; the other struggles, maimed on the dirt floor of the pit. Hundreds of roaring spectators settle their bets. To many foreigners, Philippine cockfighting is shockingly brutal far more bloody than cockfights in other countries, where the birds battle with sharpened natural leg spurs or ice pick-like steel gaffs attached to their legs. Filipino roosters fight only one or two matches because of injuries or death. Despite this twist, the Filipino national betting pastime is becoming internationalized. American breeders now supply most of the best fighting roosters, and about 30 American cockfighters regularly fight their birds in the Philippines. Canadians, Japanese and Taiwanese also occasionally compete, although so far with less success. In January an American, Carol NeSmith of Fulton, Miss., teamed up with two Filipino breeders to best 65 other entries in the Philippines' leading cockfighting competition, the "World Slasher Derby."

Story Tools VIDEO CNN's Candy Crowley reports on the political battle over a bloodsport initiative on the ballot on Oklahoma (October 29) PLAY VIDEO OKLAHOMA CITY (CNN) Among the 202 statewide ballot measures to be decided this November is whether to outlaw cockfighting in Oklahoma. Supporters of a proposed ban on cockfighting say putting razor-sharp spurs or knives on birds and forcing them to fight is wrong. "The issue is human cruelty. The purpose in slashing these birds to death in front of these crowds is for the gambling and entertainment of people," said Janet Halliburton of Oklahoma Coalition Against Cockfighting. Cockfight supporters have their view of putting two roosters in a ring for blood sport. "I enjoy the competition of it. Just to be honest with you. There's a competition. Maybe it's a man thing, I don't know. I enjoy raising the fowl, making sure I have a healthy fowl, making the best of the breed is what it amounts to," said Devin Smith of Oklahomans for Freedom of Choice.

Police had made 87 arrests as of March 21, compared with 53 last year and 34 in 2003. Police are crediting the increased number of arrests on a new focus on the crime and the availability of more officers to investigate gambling. The sport has been condemned by animal rights activists but draws support from others who make a living breeding and selling game roosters.

COCKFIGHTING IN BALI By Fred B. Eiseman, Jr. Written Especially For Wasantara-Net Introduction In 1981 the government of Indonesia, presumably motivated by high moral principles, decreed that all forms of gambling, including cockfighting, would henceforth be illegal. The results of this law have been about the same as anywhere else in the world where popular, relatively innocuous, and slightly immoral activities have been prohibited. The practice has merely moved away from prying eyes so that it is less obvious but still very real. So popular has cockfighting been in Bali for so many decades, that it is about as realistic to tell a Balinese man that he cannot participate in his favorite sport as it is to tell the sun not to rise. Concealing cockfights from the law isn't all that difficult. It is illegal to possess drugs, or firearms, but not chickens, and I have never heard of anyone being arrested for carrying a fighting cock down the street. So, the animals don't have to be concealed - just what they do to each other. And there are more than enough of out-of-the-way places in Bali to insure that this tradition is perpetuated. Every now and then the cops come and break up a cockfight. But, usually they have better things to do, and they know full well that, as soon as they go away, it will be business as usual. So, the law doesn't take this matter very seriously. A local policeman who tries to keep his friends neighbors from cockfighting is not likely to be on the scene very long.

With each lunge, feathers flew, then floated to the ground. Finally, one bloodied bird, its eyes plucked out, lurched and faltered. "Red is blinded," shouted the announcer. "Red goes down. . . . Now he's really hurt. . . . A tremendous blow by Blue!" Cockfighting is illegal in all 50 states, but contests held elsewhere are available for viewing on the Internet. (Toughsportslive.com)

WalkForFarmAnimals.org Farm Sanctuary News, Winter 2000 Oklahoma Cockfighting Initiative The effort to ban cockfighting is gaining steam both at the state and federal level. In Oklahoma, one of only three states which still allows cockfighting, the Oklahoma Coalition Against Cockfighting is planning a ballot initiative for November 2000. Meanwhile, in Washington, DC, Congressman Collin Peterson (D-MN) and Senator Wayne Allard (R-CO) have introduced legislation (H.R. 1275 and S. 345) to prohibit the interstate transport of fighting birds. Cockfighting is a cruel, bloody practice in which birds are affixed with knives and gaffs and forced to fight for the amusement and wagering of spectators. Wayne Pacelle of the Humane Society of the United States writes, "...pitting animals against one another, cutting their legs with sharp implements, and gleefully watching them hack one another to death blends both animal cruelty and human depravity". The practice of cockfighting degrades all sentient life, and when gambling, firearms, and drugs are added to the mix, the results can be disastrous. Pacelle describes one tragic incident, "...the scene was gruesome a gangland-style triple homicide with each of three human victims shot in the head at point-blank range. It wasn't a drug deal gone bad.
