rooster fighting is popular in Texas and on the news sometimes. Where are the people protesting the cruelty of chickens like ya'll are protesting Vick and him fighting dogs. Aren't these both along the same immoral path????

One problem is that the Dog has been so domesticated by us Americans that any other animal brought into the equation is skewed. A dog is a living creature just like any other and should be viewed equally. A rooster deserves just as much attention as a Dog. What about a mouse? Mouse trap anyone? Lab mice? If one animal can be killed for food and not another, why not? In China they eat Dogs. If someone were to eat a Dog over here in America, there would be problems. My point is that sometimes there are views that blind you.

This is a values question on several levels: Gambling: Many people find gambling to be immoral and have pushed to have it banned. Almost all rooster-fighting (YA will ban the common term) involves gambling. Animal Cruelty: Game Roosters are often injured or killed in the process, and although some say that they are doing what they naturally would do in the wild, the contrivance of putting them in a ring for human entertainment strips away the natural quality almost entirely. Therefore, under animal cruelty laws and moral standards, many people find this objectionable. Standards of behavior and legality ebb and flow depending on the civilization. Things that are quite common and legal in the USA (e.g., women wearing tank tops and shorts) are considered illegal in Muslim countries. Wearing a headscarf in school is illegal in France. Values legislation is common, although it almost always involves a curtailment of someone's liberty (which of course, is valued more by some than others).

Well, chicken fights are illegal in Texas. I think that they are only legal in Louisiana now and that is currently under attack. There is no point in a federal law against it.
There are some people who do break the law and have chicken fights but they do get arrested and fined. Just because it is against the law does not mean people will automatically stop doing it. The chicken fights in Texas are a lot less popular than they were 20 years ago, though.

I live inTX now, but I am originally from OK and I remember this being a HUGE issue about 7-10 years ago. It just didn't involve a huge money-maker like VICK.

Yes, they are both sick and should both be punished. It might be popular in Texas, but it is still illegal. You should report it if you know about where it's going on.

Federal? No way. At most it should be a local and or state crime.
