My fowl have helped me pay bills and buy groceries for my family a number of times while this government continues to mess the econonmy up using tax payer money for stupid bills such as this one. I am a stand up family man who enjoys the sport of cocking. It doesnt mean I cant be a great father and good husband. I work everyday and provide for my family. I dont do drugs, drink, beat women, rape, molest, or steal. I just like to have my gamefowl. And if it came to it, I will fight for my rights to own them. Once again, vote no on this garbage bill. Thanks and have a great day.... 41523@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Mon, 01 Sep 2008 03:22:18 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_PL_110-22.html#41522 THIS BILL IS BULLSH*T.

SMITH, MIND YOUR BUSINESS. WE DONT TELL YOU HOW TO LIVE YOUR LIFE. LAST TIME I CHECKED THIS WAS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, OR IS IT. SOME OF THE SMARTEST MEN THIS COUNTRY HAS KNOWN WERE COCKERS.

"Nip the problem in the bud" I also have noted that most of the arguments opposed to HR 137 have spelling errors and ignorant, therefore implying me to believe that the majority of the people opposed to this bill are uneducated.... 28828@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Tue, 15 Jan 2008 22:29:25 EST http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_PL_110-22.html#21094 http://lawcrawler.findlaw.com/scripts/lc.pl?entry=HR+137%2C+S+261&sites=wlegalhttp://briandunne.org/2007/08/01/defending-vick-an-argument-for-legalizing-dog-fights.aspx?results=1#SurveyResultsChart... 21094@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Tue, 04 Sep 2007 00:03:54 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_PL_110-22.html#18999 Anyone who watches any animal or fowl, dog ect fight to the death is sick. These are the same people who are against animal welfare tring to stop cruelty to animals. I do not belong to any animal welfare groups, peta ect. I have enough common sense to know animal neglect is cruel and practiced by very sick people.... 18999@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Mon, 13 Aug 2007 19:22:34 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_PL_110-22.html#16299 Dog fighting is an awful awful thing. No animal should be forced to endure the horrid things that the people who fight them do. There is no "sport" in this action, only cruelty to animals for the gain of illegal money. I hope this passes and soon. Maybe people like Vick who had over 60 dogs will think before they choose to walk that path. If you think that dog fighting is a sport and its harmless, watch the documentary "Off the Chain".... 16299@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Fri, 08 Jun 2007 15:26:42 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_PL_110-22.html#15636 i agree with lil vic this is nothing but bought politics... and for the wayne "the panzy" purcell he will have to answer to God on how he spends donated money..... 15636@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Mon, 14 May 2007 16:24:27 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_PL_110-22.html#15630 Cockfighting does not compare with dog fighting. Every state in the US already has some form of dog fighting, animal cruelty, or cockfighting law on its books. In 2006 there were only 75 cases of illegal cockfighting compare this to the 14,062 cases of murder and homicide 25,528 case of forcible rape 114,616 cases of robbery 449,297 of aggravated assault 1,146,696 cases of theft and larceny 1,371,919 cases of DUI 129,128 offenses against children and family 900,000 children abused or neglected (one every 35 seconds!) 797,500 children reported missing Compare the cockfighting cases to the above statistics and you'll find state laws are doing a more than adequate job. This law is not needed nor is it wanted. In 2005 there were 2,193,798 prisoners in our prison system. Our law enforcement has enough to do without chasing chicken farmers. Our farmers do not belong in prison just so our government can feel good about stroking Wayne Pacelle's ego.... 15630@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Mon, 14 May 2007 14:37:19 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_PL_110-22.html#15571 where in the bible does it say that when two animals fight in the wild they committing a sin? i believe betting on the out come is wrong however the chickens would do this in the wild it is their nature. dogs are different they dont do this naturally however i cant make a comment on dogs because all i know is what i hear which i know how the h$u$ lie about information so they can pull more tax paying dollars in their pocket what do they do for families that live on the street what about children that go to bed hungry at night and last not least education?? and for the comment about drugs and fighting arenas how many of these evangelist have they shut down some with drugs some without. ft worth they had a pastor that was arrested for drugs and rape of some women in the church so get one thing straight. they are bad people every where on this earth and some of the honest and nicest people i have meet have been cfighters...... 15571@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Fri, 11 May 2007 10:19:08 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_PL_110-22.html#15558 In Louisiana, there was a bust at a cockfighting arena. The bust involved drugs & adults allowing their young children to bet. This is common at animal fighting arenas. LA is in the process of banning cockfighting & has a ban on dog fighting. Soon, there will be NO state in which any of these activities will be legal. I am a christian & I believe that God created the heavens, earth & all of the creatures that inhabit the earth. I believe that the animals are God's creation. I don't believe that we have the right to destroy one of God's creatures for "fun" or because we can. I do understand that animals are used for food & that people hunt & fish for food. Even though I do not participate in these activities, I know that there are many people who do, but these animals are used for food...they do not die for the sake of only a bet or for a good time. It is my respect for God & his creations that drives my beliefs.... 15558@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Thu, 10 May 2007 20:00:21 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_PL_110-22.html#15548 There has been chicken fighting for hundreds and hundreds of years. It's a sport. If boxers can fight and football players can try to kill each other on the field. Why can't we enjoy chicken's fighting it's what they do naturally. Let's keep laws that hurt people like drugs, illegals,Senators taking kick backs, Repr. molesting children.... 15548@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Thu, 10 May 2007 14:37:48 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_PL_110-22.html#15541 jerry you are pathetic and come on down to tx and i will show you i stomp a mud hole in you if you think this is the reason come on... if you were not so brain washed then you would see this as it is a tactic of the H$U$ to rake in more money so they can pay off more people and keep brain washing the weak minded people.... have a great day...... 15541@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Thu, 10 May 2007 10:40:48 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_PL_110-22.html#15328 People who promote animals fighting each other probably can't fight on their own- pathetic really. At least when people fight they can choose to do so in 99% of the cases.....animals can't.
