Guys, as martial artists, we must harmonize with the world around us and respect ALL living things. In fact, as martial artists we should execute an exemplification of justice; and speak out against animal cruelty of all fashions. Of course while we agree that sanctioned, controlled physical contests are appropriate among humans who have AGREED to partake, any classification of contesting animals against one another is violent, treacherous, and illegal.
All animals are innocent, and by nature, humans are guilty, allow this thread to serve as my denouncement of cock fighting, and animal cruelty world wide.
I've seen a wide array of animal abuse, stemming from ignorance, negligence, unintelligence, drugs, greed, and other malfeasant attributes that contribute to myriad forms of animal neglect and abuse.
So, what can you do to prevent cock fighting and other forms of animal cruelty?
1) never partake in the activity, and take it SERIOUSLY.
2) snitch on your friends who may partake! (remember, animals are INNOCENT, your odiously abhorrent cock fighting rings are GUILTY, and those who mistreat animals are insideously vile.)
3) keep an ear out for people who have chickens/dead birds/sounds of chirping/animal cages
4) contact your local animal police officer if you find those failing to abide by the law.
5) if you or loved ones are mistreating, or treating animals cruely, someone like me will find you and own your dumb ass and serve justice.
God if I find anyone messing with animals..... Man i'll fuck you up.
