Faux Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Cockfights are banned here in Canada, but I used to watch them fights when I was a kid. I don't know about you guys but it is [bleep]ing awesome. I understand why it's banned. People think of animal cruelty and stuff like that. But honestly, I don't think it's as bad as people make it out to be. I mean it's like PETA complaining about chicken being slaughtered. It isn't that bad. Not all fights end up with the other dead (especially if they weren't geared). It's on the same level as horse racing where the horse gets whipped, etc. You never hear about complaints about that being legal even when a horse that gets into an accident during the race gets put down right away. It's like boxing, if boxers could fly. And if your rooster loses, all it means is that you know what you're having for dinner. :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bauke Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 You mean the cockfights where they fight themselves to death? Yeah, that's animal abuse, and no, that's not comparable to simply slaughtering a chicken for its meat. Also, I think there's a *slight* difference between slowly murdering eachother and a horse getting whipped to make it run faster, allthough the latter isn't animal friendly either. And there's no way you can justify animal cruelty by saying that other people do bad stuff to animals aswell. What if I killed you and said that it's ok because other people do it aswell? I think it's pathetic that you're trying to justify senseless killing of animals, for sheer amusement. It's disgusting.

Faux Posted March 2, 2009 Author Share Posted March 2, 2009 Honestly, people who can go from cockfighting to murdering people scare the [bleep] out of me. What a horrid analogy. No, it's definitely not the same. If you think they're even close, then someone needs to get their moral compass checked. If you want an analogy, cockfight is like boxing or MMA. It doesn't have to be lethal. The fights are deadly because most people attach knives to the roosters' claws. Take the knives away and it's fairly safe. :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bauke Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Honestly, people who can go from cockfighting to murdering people scare the [bleep] out of me. The analogy is easily made with other examples. No, it's definitely not the same. If you think they're even close, then someone needs to get their moral compass checked. It's an anology. You're justifying animal cruelty by stating it's happening elsewhere aswell. You'd figure that out if you actually read my post. If you want an analogy, cockfight is like boxing or MMA. It doesn't have to be lethal. The fights are deadly because most people attach knives to the roosters' claws. Take the knives away and it's fairly safe. Wtf, attach knives? That makes it eve more sick and disgusting. Twitter ||| Google+ ||| Facebook ||| LinkedIn ||| My very interesting weblog about science Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da_Latios Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Oh come on. These roosters don't have brains big enough to know any better. You're taking this way too seriously. I would go to one of these 'fights'.

Lateralus Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 I have to say that I'm almost positive that I would enjoy watching a cockfight, or at least be interested. That said, deriving pleasure from suffering is sadistic at best. The difference between cockfighting and boxing is that boxers have a choice. La lune ne garde aucune rancune.

I am not responsible for the crap in Africa. While in this case, people are responsible for making 2 roosters agressive and kill eachother.

Tim Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Woah damn, those roosters look hella scary. The one on the left looks like a Lion. O,o I've always wanted to see a cockfight but Im not sure if its banned in Australia or not, despite the judgements on Animal Cruelty thrown about i personally think it might be interesting to see one. Bauke have you EVER gotten into a Human fight? because you should know if your going to stand against this mere Animal Cruelty (Compaired to others), what about humans killing each other? murder, rape, victimazation? This crap goes on all the time but of course, were human. We can make more of ourselfs. Point is, YOU have your Opinion on this, others have THEIR opinion. ShadowFaxPZ isn't trying to force you to endorce it, and you shouldn't force your opinions to others to follow your lead. Popoto.~<3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
