SHOW me EXACTLY WHERE I implied or said or stated that "we should turn a blind eye and condone it"??


That statement is without ANY noticeable logic whatsoever...it sounds like it was pulled out of a too large body orifice.

Were you not implying due to it's long term existence and the fact that it isn't going away any time soon it's undeserving of attention? If not, please clarify the intent of the post I quoted in my response.

I remember the C-fights in the mini series Roots. Chicken George was played by Ben Vereen and the good fighters were treated like a prized commodity.

I did not post anything but :


It existed in Greece (c. 524–460 BC).


It is not new and will, obviously, not go away...



Those two statements are FACTS.....go argue your opinion with someone else......

I replied to your statement...that will happen when you post on a public message board. Sorry if that reply failed to address the issue you were poorly attempting to communicate.

I'll happily ignore your future statements. Go attempt to censor the replies of someone else.

Bear bating and turkey shoots used to be conteststhat were greatly attended. Bullfights are still popular sports in Spanish countries, and are quite exciting. The bulls of the ring today are the tacos of the streets tomorrow.

No one who eats factory-produced poultry or meat can possibly have a moral problem with something so simple as a cockfight.

Actually bullfighting with killing the bull is stopping in Spain, I heard a few months back. they were fighting the last legal fight where the bull was gored to almost death with those sticks

Only in areas where bullfighting is not popular.

Where have you been for the last 1000 years? This kind of stuff has been going on for centuries, it is NOT a news flash.
