Forty-nine states have now made cockfighting illegal, with the fiftieth, Louisiana, voting to make cockfighting illegal by 2008.
Puerto Rico has responded by passing legislation declaring cockfighting a "cultural right."
Apparently, "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" weren't good enough, and PETA's veg-friendly suggestion won't suffice: fried plantains rarely scratch one another to death under heavy provocation.

cockfighting in bali
one of the greatest sociology articles ever written-- practically a founding text-- is Clifford Geertz's "Notes on the Balinese Cockfight." For the uninitiated, it greatly helps explain the appeal, and the importance, of cockfighting to society. any well-functioning culture should have cockfights!
