Louisiana finally votes down legal Cockfighting

[VoodooJoint]

Louisiana, the last U.S. State where cockfighting is legal, has finally voted to ban the blood sport.

This is a ban that I have long been fighting and lobbying for. Most likely it will suffer one or two overturns before "sticking" (much like what happened in New Mexico) but it's finally a step in the right direction.

Wow! I am a little speechless! I guess you could say I am very sheltered. I had no idea there was such a thing as cockfighting. Who in the world would wanna do that? It amazes me how sick people really are in this world.

I knew about Pitbulls, but I did not know about horses either. Makes no sence.
