Cockfights aren't the Gentlemen's Sport!

Puerto Rico (PR) won't respect the Law that prohibits cockfights.  They call this spectacle of blood and death "the gentleman's sport". The birds are subjected to the most horrible conditions and don't even eat until it is their turn to die or kill. This is plain sadism. A person that enjoys watching this spectacle of blood, death and suffering is a sadist.

We don't need more violence in PR. Their excuse is it is natural for these birds to kill each other. But these "gentlemen" even put razor-like devices so there is more blood involved in the fights they call a "sport". Then they get together to bet on the birds and enjoy the spectacle of blood and violence.

Please help us stop this and make it a thing of the past. Don't let them glorify violence and cruelty anymore. Cockfights are illegal in all other US territories.

Please tell the PR government to stop this animal abuse in the name of sadistic pleasure. Thank you.

Update #15 years ago
Animal cruelty is linked to violence on humans. Animal abusers have witnessed or been victims of abuse. One-third of those, has hurt or killed a pet. People who abuse animals are five times more likely to commit violent crimes against people, four times more likely to commit property crimes, and three times more likely to have a record for drug abuse or disorderly conduct than those who don't. The FBI uses reports of animal cruelty to assess threats by suspected and known violent criminals.
