Maybe there are some advantages to going to bed early.

I've read through this whole thread and I have to say Scott, with each passing comment, your argument grew weaker.

The fact that you get some entertainment out of fighting cocks, and the fact that animals are slaughtered for food, help your argument not one iota. There is no justification for what you do, it is a preposterous way to spend one's time, and I would ask you the following question:

Whether or not you get some entertainment out of it, would you consider just giving it up? If you like gambling, get your buddies together and play some draw poker and have a few beers. If you want to take the argument that slaughterhouses are also cruel, we are in 100% agreement and there are groups trying to make the slaughter of animals more humane, but in this country it is very difficult to fight big business.

You can give us a hundred arguments why you partake in this activity, but all of them are morally bankrupt. Please do a good deed and find another hobby. Thank you.
