Trash Topic of the Day: who here has been to a cock fight?

Never been to a cock fight or a greyhound race.
But if I canoodle with the lab and the Aussie sees it there will be violence.

I want to see a gorilla fight

I’ve been to one, but not recently. Sheriff dept there to keep peace

Tried to get a friend to take me to a cock fight when I lived in SoCal but he said I was too white.

I have no interest in a dog fight. I love dogs too much.

I’d like to see a bare knuckle fist fight though.

While brutal, that'd be badass. Bear fights would kick arse as well.

Had a bunch of friends that used to go somewhat regularly when it was legal in Louisiana. They were pretty common in Henderson

I have. Bet on a pumpkin (orange bird). The pumpkin lost and I had to pay a rotten teeth dude $20.

Because we domesticated dogs and cats doesn't mean that have or need "rights"

So, the reason dogs and cats don't have rights is because we domesticated them. OK, we domesticated savages. Why do they have rights and can vote?

I went to a few in Archibald back in the day. I put up a $30 entry fee for a three bird derby for a friend who actually owned the birds. He had never won anything. That day he won and we split a $300 pot. We gave the handler $20 a piece. Those guys are about as crazy as rodeo bullfighters.

Hell until very recently it was the sport of choice in Louisiana. The biggest tournaments with the biggest cash prizes in the world were fought just outside Lafayette in the Opelousas area. I remember driving from Houston to see my mom and crossing Louisiana in the late 90's. Decided to take a drive on HWY 90 and stop @ a local honky tonk for a few. There was a big road side sign outside this big joint that said COCKFIGHTS Tonight inside. Hell I went in. The front bar was typical. then through the door they were selling tickets to the fights and gambling like the Russian Roulette scene in The DEER HUNTER. Betting $3,4 500. on either the Red rooster or the gray rooster. Heck to balance it out they had some black ones too. Japs they called them. What a freaking scene. And there were easily 250 or more people with trucks loaded with roosters and stuff spilling out into the back yard. Only in South Louisiana!
