Petition to Legalize Cockfighting In The U.S.
To: U.S. Congress
Before basketball and baseball took the Philippines by storm, cockfighting was and still is the Philippine’s most
popular and national sport. Cockfighting has a history which traces back to times before Christ. However, before
cockfighting even became a sport, the bird, the fighting-cock, was regarded as an admirable animal, drawing respect
from men. The fighting cock was a subject of religious worship. According to Diodorus Siculus, the Ancient Syrians
worshipped the fighting-cock as a deity. The Ancient Greeks and Romans associated the fighting-cock with the gods
Apollo, Mercury and Mars. Magellan claimed that in Borneo, the bird was so sacred that no one could eat its flesh. In
South Canara, the bird claimed to ward off evil demons. In Sumatra, the gamecock was worshipped, a temple built to
it, and rituals performed to honor the deity. Cock fighting occurred in the temples and the dead bird which lost the
battle was prepared to be presented to the deities. The bird would be placed in a gold cauldron, soaked in gums and
spices. Then its body was burned on an altar and its ashes were placed in a golden pot or urn. Scott, “History of
Cockfighting”
The history of cockfighting is hazy, there does not seem to be a definitive point in history as to when cockfighting
became an official sport. In the times before Christ,approximately 3,000 years ago during the times of the
Phoenicians, Hebrews, and Canaanites, cockfighting was popular. Breeding gamecocks for fighting in a pit was
considered an art and trading these birds was profitable. In Egypt, in the time of Moses, cockfighting was a favorite
pasttime. During the height of Greek civilization, Themistocles — a general who was preparing to drive away the
invading Persians — decided to hold a cockfight the night before the battle to inspire his men by showing the
courageous nature of the fighting cock. Persian traders loved to gamble by pitting their fighing birds against each
other. They would often carry their birds with them and pit a fight in the marketplaces and trading centers.
In the first century after Christ, Julius Caesar led Rome into enjoying the sport of cockfighting. He was the first citizen
of Rome to be an enthusiast of the sport. Caesar ultimately introduced cockfighting into England. In the 16th century,
cockfighting was flourishing in England. During the time of King Henry VIII, cockfights were held at Whitehall Palace.
The game became a national sport at one point and exclusive schools were required to teach students the points of
cockfighting, such as breeding, walking, and conditioning of the gamecock. At its very height of popularity, even the
clergy encouraged the sport. Church yards and inside of the churches were used as an arena for cockfighting. The
sport declined in England during the reign of Queen Victoria in the 17th century, when she banned cockfighting with
a royal decree. Today, cockfighting is almost nonexistent. However, in the British isles, there still esixts a breed of
gamecocks known as the Pyles strain of Charles II that is a highly sought after bird by cockers and breeders.
In ancient Gaul, cockfighting was somehow brought into the country through travelling caravans or by those who
returned from Rome or the East. During the Middle Ages in France, cockfighting was very popular. Eventually, France
adopted the cock as a national emblem. Today, cockfighting has been driven underground.
In Spain, cockfighting has existed for the longest period of time. How it arrived is uncertain. Theories point to travelling
Phoenicians or the conquering Moors. Today, cockfighting is a popular sport in Bilbao, Oviedo, Madrid, Barcelon, and
Valencia. Many Filipino breeders travel to Spain to obtain ideal birds for breeding. Many gamecocks in the Philippines
have a blood strain of Spanish game cocks.
In the United States, famous presidents who were lovers of the game were George Washington, Thomas Jefferson,
Andrew Jackson, and Abraham Lincoln. It was socially acceptable and encouraged for a gentleman to have a flock
of gamecocks and to be an expert on the sport. At one point, the U.S. became a center for cockfighting activities
and events. Cockfights were even held in the committee rooms of the President. It is said that the fighting-cock

2. almost became the national emblem. It lost by one vote to the American eagle. Cockfighting declined when the civil
war started.
In the Philippines, it was said cockfighting was already popular by the time the Spaniards arrived. It was recorded that
in 1565, natives of Butuan were watching cockfights when the Spaniards came for supplies.
Legalizing cockfighting would bring in billions of much needed tax dollors!!
It would help out a number of feed mills and gamefowl supply stores.Also the hotel and resturant industry’s would sky
rocket.Overall there is everything to gain and nothing to lose except needed money!!
As Abraham lincoln once said:
“As long as the
Almighty has permitted
intelligent men, created
in his likeness to fight in
public and kill each
other while the world
looks on approvingly, it’s
not for me to deprive
the chickens of the same
privilege.”
Abraham Lincoln
Thank You.

3679. John Webb Give me Liberty, I will do the same for you
3678. jose d martinez legalize this old sport mass murder of chickens is allowed by kfc but
this noble sport is outlawed wtf
3677. Troy Thrasher
3676. Timothy D. Poss A rooster is born with the deep drive to fight,you can’t teach him.They
are natural born fighting/killing machines.If you put two game roosters
close to one another.One would kill the other.You should at least legalize
natural heel fighting.
3675. Emily Coleman
3674. Stacy
3673. Edwin Oquendo Legalizing cockfighting = tax money
3672. Robert Smith What gives the animal rights supporters the right to take away our
heritage.
3671. jessica
3670. justin oliver if they are going to allow men to fight in cages they might as well let
chickens fight
3669. desirae this fine
3668. Stephanie Oliver
3667. Levi Wilson

3. 3666. Ryan Chaney we raise chickens,cows,and pigs to eat but people believe its wrong to
let them fight wich would happen in the wild as they were please
explain why two men can fight in a cage but measly chickens are
unable

3655. Norman make it legal it would help the country alot. i think Abraham Lincoln said
alot or should i say (Honest Abe) refereering cock fights is where his
name came from and not to mention 2 more famous names in American
cocking the first u.s. president George Washington and the 7th u.s.
president Andrew Jackson (chicken George) won his freedom owing to
his skill as a “handler”and feeder” of fighting cocks.On the other hand
President Andrew Jackson – (The old Hickory)- kept his brown red
gamecocks in the WhitHouse stables so give us back out rights that
should of never been taking.
3654. Andrew C. Shupe I believe that the sport that I came to love at such a young age has
been unfairly banned from every state. It has been attacked by
different standards than are used to pass any other law. The bans on
the sport have been strong armed through the law making process by
the politicians that are running this great country into the ground. I love
the sport and everything that comes with it and would love nothing
more than to be allowed to participate in it once again without fear of
persecution.
3653. gaidon this is mother nature creation ,its been here since adam and eve it
needs to be legal just like casino in the world
3652. Dewayne Brooks
3651. Ashley
3650. Larry
3649. Eric this article came out of the game cock How about this decision. The
United States Supreme Court, Handed down in 1871 a decision, that
may be of interest. The Court held that canary birds were NOT live
animals because in a tariff act Congress spoke of “animals, living, of all
kinds,” in one paragraph and of birds singing and other in another this
the Supreme Court said, showed that Congress did not believe that
birds were living animals.The Appellate Court took it from there. The
canary bird decision, it said, also indicated that Congress meant that
only FOUR LEGGED creatures were animals
3648. rick cantrell family tradition

and carefully it can be very entertaning and profitable for the
government!!
3641. Steven LaRue as an avid cocker back when it was still legal, i can look back now and
say that i really miss the sport
3640. Mr. Page the native americans should open pits on the reservations. it would
show the government how much they could be making. its really
simple. have everyone fill out a w-4 at the beggining of every year like
you would a regular job. then at the end of the year you get a 1099. at
every derby they take 10% off the top of the entry fee and then that
way they get paid twice. its just so easy even a caveman can do it
3639. Brock Page think of the farmers. the feed they grow. the money it would bring in for
our country
3638. Brock by doing this millions will be made for business and will bring back the
United States out of turmoil

3367. Jeffery Carter This is supposed to be the land of the free. But the goverment keeps
taking our rights away from us. Our freedom of happiness was taken
when they made it ilegal to cock fight. As you all know many of our
Presidents fought game cocks but the goverment will never admit that
this is so. Because they want every one to think that the sport is wrong
when it is not.
3366. Doug Miller Game Cocks are born with the instinct to fight. This is not something
you can train these beautiful creatures to do. In the wild only the
strongest survive and go on to produce hardier offspring that are less
susceptible to disease. The Game Cock wants to fight another Game
Cock to show the other that he is the most dominant. If they weren’t

12. meant to fight then they wouldn’t. God made them that way so let them
do what they want to do. Let them fight!
3365. Donnie Carter Cockfighting is a Sport of Kings and NOT a blood sport.
3364. Justin At least consider legalizing cockfighting bare heel (their spurs are there
only weapons)

3331. Anthony M rice Personally against cockfighting, but I don’t think it’s anymore inhumane
than HSUS killing birds or Tyson foods farming practices. Do people
think chicken meat just appears in your grocery store? Raise your own
eggs and chicken and see how cruel tha animal world really is,
3330. jerry this is an Americn tradition they should not take it away from us. Since

3271. donald poe the united states could really use all the extra revenue that we can get.
lets face it the rest of the world uses illegal cash crops to fund terrorists
groups that pose a huge and obvious threat to the U.S. lets not forget
we are at war in iraq and afghanistan which is a huge economic burden
to the millions of hard working tax payers we work our asses off for our
own government to tell us we cant have a little fun but yet we hear news
about kentucky state troopers viewing this sport take place and not
losing their jobs or facing the same criminal punishment as a regular
civilian. there are some folks that live in areas where the best job may

15. be just a few more cents than minimum wageand it doesnt pay them
much to drive 80-100miles a day back and forth to work with gas
prices the way they are these days and it makes it damn near
impossible to raise a family with the skyrocketing prices of everyday
living expenses.

3244. Kyla
3243. Raul G Chavez You should put in the petition that we will start paying taxes to each
state. For example, if the purse is 1000 or 10000, the winner will pay
taxes. Because that’s why they ban it. The lawyers should go and tell
them will are willing to buy licence to fight roosters like fisher men. this
money will help the economy and both of us will be happy. Cockfighting
is a culture but I am willing to pay a yearly licence to fight roosters.
imagine how much money will each state will get if they legalize
cockfighting. Each state will get money from each licence and 10% of

16. the purse. Think about? Congress will consider if we petition this idea
they could even test it for one year and if it doesn’t work then ban it.
3242. Raul Chavez

3222. Derrick Evans This is what they are bred to do. Anyone who thinks otherwise then I
propose a challenge. I give you a mother hen and some baby chicks.
You raise them and see if the roosters dont eventually fight til the death
on they’re own. Also, whoever started this group, then please get a
hold of me because I too am from WV and I really want to help my
favorite sport become legal. This would be huge for our states
economy as well as saving a sport thats been passed down from my
ancestors.
3221. Josue Rodriguez
3220. jesse garcia i raise chickens and love them like u wouldn’t believe ,still ilove to see
them in battle and they fight because they want to. if we train gamefowl
to fight i want to see someone to train a cock how not to fight!!!
3219. Shawn Rorrer I think if they tax cockfighting it would bring in a lot of needed money for
this country. Whats the diffrence between two men in a ring beating the
crap out of each other compared to roosters doing the same thing?
Theres no difference at all!
3218. Dustin Hall I been rasing chickens since 1994
3217. crystal martin have been a long time cockfighter and believe that the government
would not have such an issue with the matter if they could regulate

rights activists on us
3216. Brian C. Brooks As a breeder of gamefowl I put so much love and time into raising and

Popular president in USA.he was not banned the cock fighting.But
George W.Bush banned cock fight.At the sametime to fight with Iraq
and killed public and soldiers.Abraham Linclon was guard the Humen

3197. Don E. Johnson I live in Louisiana cock fighting is now illegal. The so called do gooders
have killed more rooster in the past year than we killed in the derbies
we had. If the state od Louisiana would wake up and bring cock fighting
back to our state and tax winnings they would see how much they have
lost in the state the past 40 years.
3196. lawrence D Johnson
3195. Chue Moua We should legalize cockfighting in the US, but without knifes.
3194. Charles SimmonS
3193. Tabatha SimmonS where are all our freedoms going
3192. Brian SimmonS its more cruel what they do to the chickens we eat
3191. Martin Torres i approve of rooster fighting, they are created for fighting. If you were to
put two chickens outside a couple a feet away from each other, and as
soon as they see each other they will fight to the death untill one of them
runs .Both of them would die ,two roosters can’t live with each other not
even if they were related they would still kill each other.
3190. Jose Luis Torres I love my roosters and hen, and I approve of game cock fighting. Why
do ya kill chickens for kfc ? Its like the same thing but the chickens you
kill can’t defend themselves but ours can !
3189. Michael R Johnson God created all things, animals,even the fowl of the air and put man in
charge of them. If you don’t believe read your Bible.So therefore I think
cock fighting sould be legalized. The gamefowl only missed by 1 vote
becoming the American symbol. It is a beautiful fowl in its likeness.
(Religious believers). I saw on TV the other night 2 men fighting on an
ultimate fighting adventure and it was legal and on TV but there is big

18. money involved in it and it was ok, therefore I think cockfighting should
be legalized and the monies used and be taxed. and the revenue goes
for paying taxes.
3188. Steve Decker im even more of a redneck
3187. Dan Stitt im a redneck
3186. Robert Adams Long live the gamecock
3185. Jacob Wright Its a sad day when you can drive by a broiler farm where they raise
chickens in the poorest conditions, and that is legal, but cockfighting is
banned. These birds recieve the best treatment, and happiest lives.
This sport is a part of my heritage all the way back to immigration. It’s
sad it will fade away.

It’s what they love to do and for some of the men it is all they know.
Why should we take that from them? One should look into the lives of
these familys and see how much cockfighting is apart of the life.
3172. Bobby Jason Barley Ive not raised fighting cocks in 10 years, but I think about it all the time.
My father loved it and his father loved it and his fathers before. They
say its okay to be gay its okay for humans to fight they even say its
okay to kill a unborn child but its not okay to let roosters be
themselves. I was raised to treat my birds with respect and to give to
them even if I had to do without. Who has the right to tell me right from
wrong other than god. Everyone who loves there history and country
should stand togather for there rights. BRING THE SPORT OF KINGS
BACK.
3171. Steven Crews It’s about time
3170. Homero Lopez Gamecocks aren’t trained to fight or be agressive. It’s in thier blood
and comes natural to them. If made legal , by all means … Tax the hell
out of it. Im allmost positive , thier isn’t a cocker out thier that would
have a problem with paying thier dues. In exchange we ask that you
leave us alone and let us enjoy our birds.

3159. Ruben Castellanos I think it to be the saddest thing when the cultures of our people are
being taken away from us by these corporations that kill thousands of
animals per day and consider themselves animal protectors. They are
so asanine asking people for donations so that they can euthenize 600
birds in one location and regarding our birds as too agressive. It’s
depressing to see how bad our economy is in California and to realize
that there’s a multi-million dollar solution right in front of their faces and
yet all they do is make laws that impede people like me from geting out
of the recession were in. Well hopefully our customes don’t end up
being squashed under so many laws. Good luck and thank u for
keeping the fight. I know me and all my fellow breeders will keep
fighting these California laws.

fighting involves family and doin it together

3121. Diane Jessup While watching chickens kill each other is not my idea of a good time,
as an animal lover and 20+ years animal control officer, I feel that
fighting cocks live an extremely humane life up to the point they are
pitted. They are far better cared for than other fowl. They may die in the
pit, but it is no worse than the BILLIONS of chickens killed by KFC.

money. Lets bring it back. Theirs no harm. The country could benefit.

messing with folks tha play with chickens.do they realize i can go in the
back yard and brutaly murder a chicken!(cut its head off like granny
did)and that is ok,but i cannot use the birds natural ability to please
myself or make money?but i can make a huge bull buck and spin and
charge for amusement and money.I can hunt with firearms big game in
pens that have no way to escape for pleasure and money,blow half a
leg off and lose the bloodtrail and let the animal suffer and
die,SLOWLY!!!!but this is nature and life on earth and only the strong

saying that we train/make a rooster to fight i mean realy what we gona
do talk to them and threaten them. And for them thats what they would
rather do than anything else. Its their nature and thier gona fight
regardless its all someone can do just to keep them apart. And the
goverment could make a killing off rooster pits on taxes and all the gas
spent going there hotel renting or make there be a licens and charge
$100 a permit . Millions of dallars could be made and if everyone
signed this petition it would be way up in the millions.

3022. randall w hardwick i have been attending cock fights since i was 2. thats when my father
started taking me . theres nothing like it. it would boost the economy
greatly.im 19 now i would rather fights my chickens than listen watch a
boxing matcg or a horse race. chickens are not trained to fight its in
there blood.
3021. randall william hardwick there is nothing wrong with cockfights
3020. Timothy Lester i have never attended a cock fight. i have owned a small sting of game
fowl but only in the past few years. if people can fight in an arena and
kill or severely injure each other why can we not allow these birds who
fight by nature not by man do what comes natural to them?
3019. shirley lucas
3018. ruben Its a free country
3017. Timothy N. Anglin
3016. Alex Zuniga legalize cockfighting land of the free
3015. Dr. David E. Harrington Until man decides to stop killing his brothers, he has nothing to say
about the fate of a bird.
3014. John Myles
3013. Alex Tejeda I do not fight gamefowl, but I don’t see anything wrong with it. If
everybody who owned fowl let them be,they would suffer much more
than in an organized fight. Many fowl receive better care than most
children in the world in my opinion. People who are against this have
not experienced it for very long if at all. Like I said, if the gamefowl had
their way, they would all become extinct in about a year. Abortion,
hunting, boxing, and UFC fights are just a portion of bad things that are
tolerated here in the US. Native Americans did it before any white man
arrived in the US; why take part of their culture away as well? Legalizing
this would also make a great boost in the economy. Many people travel
across the world just to see a one day cockfighting event. Thousands
of people in the world have died in war even presently. We can take
someones life in war, someone who doesn’t want to be killed and taken
away from family, but we can’t let two gamecocks battle together
willingly? Make the country better. Legalize

dollar i would be just fine with that
2959. Lesa Gambrel I see nothing wrong with cock fighting, I”ve been around it many years.
Regardless if its done in the pit or in the front yard or regardless if
someone is even handling the cocks, they will fight. I don’t see it as
animal cruelty, especially when the only purpose for these types of
chickens are to fight. If you ask me its the chickens that we eat
everyday and their living and dying situations thats cruel. You stick
them in 2X2 cages piled up on one another where if one uses the
bathroom the one underneath gets it. These chickens live atleast 2
years before their fought, whereas the chickens we eat int he super
market only live a few months before their killed. So what’s inhumane in
this situation? Ask yourself.
2958. RAFAEL MARTINEZ

them too sleep??

2773. Avery Bell
2772. Carlos Estrada Cockfighting has been around for years I personally dont look at it as
cruelty to animals. fighting roosters have it in their blood that’s why
they’re called fighting roosters. It’s in their blood by nature. On the
other hand the United States of America considers this as cruelty to
animals but what happens when they seize these roosters from their
owners? They euthanize them, that’s cruelty to animals. They should
just let them fight in that case they should banned UFC fighting that’s
cruelty to humans but it’s entertaining the same with cockfighting it’s
just like any other sport.
2771. Tim Ladner

31. 2770. josh v we aren’t criminals, we are being made criminals by hsus and other
groups who don’t “like” our way of life. It is our birds natural instinct to
fight, and we are made criminals for it. Why are women who are killing
their unborn babies not made criminals if a human is a higher being
than any pet or animal according to the bible? Legalize cockfighting and
see how it will help the ecomomy.

2754. tammy brannan our men fight daily for our rights , but special interest groups work daily
to take our rights away. i’m a buisness owner and the more the hsus
and peta get laws pasted the more my buisness is hurt. i own a feed
company and i have review a lot of hsus paper work and can find
nothing where they fund any animal shelters or help any local shelters.
but htey spend 2 million a year of tax free money on travel etc. if they
are tax exemt why are they not using the money for hte care of animals
not just travel etc.. why does the pres. wayne passell have a salary of
well over 250 thousand dollars a year?

ourself away from us.
2749. Jimmy Urmama they are taking away our rights
2748. Carlos Diaz Soler These Kind of Particular Roosters are born to fight. It’s on their nature
to fight. God gave them this unique instinct. They only fight other
cockfighter roosters. Otherwise the interest for these unique animals will
dissapear and they will be extincted from the phase of the earth. Why
not preserved them as they are borned for: Cockfighting roosters?
2747. MARK MONTALVO
2746. tony villalobos why does the govt. spend millions of dollars on a chicken, there is
better places to spend our tax dollars
2745. M. Mundy Its too bad that we stopped teaching the true American history in
1920…actually changing the history books. Reason: They felt it was un-

32. fit to have the most highly reguarded and respected people in the
history of this country as breeders, participants, and lovers of this
sport….then in the same breath if air say “only scum-bags and illegal
immigrants approve of that sport”. How ridiculous! …these people’s
faces are on our money. Its a shame that its OK to kill 22,000,000
chickens per day in this country for chicken salads……BUT DONT LET
THEM FIGHT FIRST!!!!!!! ….just making a point.

every one of us suffering for taking our rights,its our traditions and
passion theres nothing wrongs with this sports,this sports gives a lot of
job to the people,its our passion,it is sad that this will end without
sharing to the next generations,one of the happiest moment in my life is
sharing thoughts about the chicken with my dad and grand pa,so it is
very sad that this might not happen again with my son,bring
cockfighting back bring the freedom back bring the tradion back bring
the culture back!long live cockfighter!

they are a hidden terriorist group that prey on people for money to take
care of “mistreated animals” and then turn around to do nothing but kill
them wake up AMERICA to hell with liberals lets stop this ongoing
socialist rule thats becoming of th UNITED STATES of AMERICA we

in tradition, the loser gets eaten anyway. cock fighting in my eyes is
very human,. and it’s a family tradition that we stoped when coming to
the U.S they should make some type of I.D for cockfighters and tax us
like $30 a month or somthing since the government loves to take our
money. this is a great way for them to make some. lol. there isnt a
problem with cockfight. its a symbol and tradition. Long Live
