I could not flippin’ believe this when I saw it. Oklahoma, a state that took it’s own damned time banning the abhorrent practice of cockfighting (2002?!?), has an enterprising state Senator named Frank Shurden. The Democrat, described as a longtime defender of cockfighting, has proposed fitting tiny boxing gloves on the birds and starting up rooster boxing.
Yep… Boxing chickens.
My favorite part of this mess is Shurden repeatedly referring to cockfighting as an “industry”.
An industry that is still legal in Louisiana and New Mexico.
