Genesis 1:29-31 29And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb producing seed that is on the whole earth, and every tree in which is the fruit of a tree producing seed: it shall be food for you; 30and to every animal of the earth, and to every fowl of the heavens, and to everything that creepeth on the earth, in which is a living soul, every green herb for food. And it was so. 31And God saw everything that he had made, and behold it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning -- the sixth day.

Christians Unite With Animal Advocates Against Cockfighting

POSTED BY  ⋅  ⋅
A cockfight in India, with handler.

For roosters who are forced to fight to the death, it’s a match made in heaven. The Humane Society of the United States is working with Christian groups, such as the Palmetto Family Council, to strengthen laws against this blood sport. Their efforts are focused in South Carolina, where penalties aren’t harsh enough to suppress the fights.
Currently, cockfighting is classified as a felony in 39 states; yet it remains a misdemeanor in 11 states, including South Carolina.
Clearly, cockfighting should be a felony. Yet let’s not forget that approximately nine billion chickens each year suffer unimaginable cruelties before their trip to the processing plant — all because there’s a demand for their flesh. Why is this legal?
