Get a real cause, like feeding hungry children, or, if you really want to help animals, adopt a puppy from the Humane Society. Chickens aren't even majestic birds, like eagles, or a rare species like the whooping crane. I'm not the kind of person who likes to see animals hurt. I think it's funny when a protestor dumps red paint on someone wearing a fur. But I can't get all fired up about protecting yardbirds.
Game birds are roosters.
They won't get to sit around the hen house laying eggs and eating feed. No, they'll head to the deep fryer first thing - but not before someone twists their necks or simply chops off their heads. You can't tell me that everyone opposed to cockfighting is a vegetarian. I think it has less to do with animal cruelty than it does with the notion of progress and image. People who raise and fight game birds don't run with the debutantes and gentle folk of the cities.
