CRAZY ABOUT COCKS

The Honolulu Star-Bulletin provides two reports on the current status of a sport that even gun supporters might question--cockfighting. Although cocks have been fighting, illegally, in various American cities, since before the Civil War, you might not be up to date on where it IS legal. Associated Press reporter Claro Cortez provides the picture (two of them) on the Philippine rings, while Star-Tribune reporter Jean Christensen notes the Islands' ring history may be even older. Hawaii State Sen. Suzanne Chun Oakland thinks its time to outlaw gaffs, razor-sharp blades which, when attached to a rooster's legs, often mean the fight ends in the death of at least one rooster. After reading these stories, you'll really have something to talk about at the water cooler!
