A POLITICIAN FIGHTING FOR WHAT REALLY MATTERS: THE USE OF BOXING GLOVES IN COCKFIGHTING

David Jakielo reporting for WdSR radio.

Gone are the days in Oklahoma when a crowd could gather to watch two roosters fight to the death, but a hardworking Democratic Oklahoma senator, Frank Shurden, has proposed a compromise: fit the roosters with boxing gloves and Let’s Get It On!

"Who's going to object to chickens fighting like humans do? Everybody wins," Shurden stated in an argument to reinstate cockfighting, which has been banned in Oklahoma since 2002.

In the past cockfighting consisted of the birds being fitted with razor-like spurs, often battling to the death. The practice is still legal in Louisiana and New Mexico.
