State Senator Wants Cockfights, with Gloves
OKLAHOMA CITY (Reuters) - An Oklahoma senator hopes to revive cockfighting in the state by putting tiny boxing gloves on the roosters instead of razors.

The Oklahoma legislature outlawed the blood sport in 2002 because of its cruelty to the roosters, which are slashed and pecked to death while human spectators bet on the outcome.

But State Sen. Frank Shurden, a Democrat from Henryetta and a long-time defender of cockfighting, said the ban had wiped out a $100-million business.

It gets better

Quote:

To try to revive it, he has proposed that roosters wear little boxing gloves attached to their spurs, as well as lightweight, chicken-sized vests configured with electronic sensors to record hits and help keep score.

No errors in judging this cockfight, the count is electronically taken.

Who is up for a fantasy cockfighting league?

I imagine the International Coalition of Anuspelunkers will be enthusiastic.

That is by far the greatest idea I have read. Ever.

I love how a Democrat states it will wipe out a 100 Million dollar business? They must tax the hell out of that event.
