Scott Elkinswhere Little Jerry Seinfeld can fight legally! The only two states left where cockfighting is legal are LA and VA.
BTW - I always thought it was hypocritical of the Humane Society and these other animal rights activists to raid cockfighting arenas, b/c the first thing they do is gather up all the roosters and gas them to death (which takes five minutes and they are all thrown in a tank together and fight until the gas kills them). What a lot of people also don't realize is that it is a natural instinct for these game roosters to fight (they usually have to be seperated when they are only a couple months old to keep from killing one another). Also, if cockfighting is made illegal in every state, these beautiful birds will no longer exist, as it is too expensive to raise them seperately if one cannot fight them. I would say cockfighting is much more humane than a slaughter house. Who here has not eaten chicken? Well, chickens raised for food don't live to see their first birthday. At least chickens raised for cockfighting live until they are at least two years old, are taken great care for, and have the final say in their own demise. I would much rather have a chance fighting to death than certain death in a slaughter house! Cockfighting has been done by Presidents and derbies of cockfighting have even been held in the basement of the White House. This is simply an act of people who are ignorant to the sport condemning it and trying to tell others what they can or cannot do. PETA and other groups need to get a life and quit trying to ruin everyone else's.
