Lawmaker wants tiny boxing gloves on roosters

I've seen some ridiculous legislation in my time, but this proposed law is right up there with the silliest. This bonehead wants to "save" cockfighting. Apparently he doesn't understand that the people who participate in this so-called "sport" are there for one thing and one thing only - blood. If you take that away (which this bill would supposedly do), you kill the "industry" anyway. Not that killing this barbaric practice would be a bad thing ...

An Oklahoma senator hopes to revive cockfighting in the state by putting tiny boxing gloves on the roosters instead of razors.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
