NEW YORK — More than 3,000 birds were rescued in a three-county cockfighting takedown in New York this weekend that resulted in nine felony arrests, according to the state attorney general's office.

In a statement released Sunday night, Attorney General Eric Schneiderman said it was the largest cockfighting takedown in New York state and among the largest in U.S. history.

Redneck capital of the world. Probably full of bigots too.

I understand why dog fighting is very much frowned upon. You have to train the dog to fight. But, who on here is going to cry over a fighting rooster? I mean USC's mascot is a damn fighting Gamecock. It's purpose in life is to fight. That's how it gets it's pleasure. Gamecocks are not pets. If it's noble to kill a bull in Spain why not allow two fighting Cocks do what they do in America?

Could you imagine a genuine bull fight taking place in the States? Good lord at the protests that'd be forthcoming.

There are actually matches here where they don't kill each other and it's more of a wrestling match. The talons are removed and they literally just wait until which one can sit on the other until it can't move.

Oh, no doubt. In some parts of Spain they have bullfighters that jump the bulls and flip over the bulls ect but not kill them. That would probably pull a protest in the USA as well.

Now, Cockfighting is one of the few things that unites the most redneck country folks you can imagine and Hispanics. If you've ever been to a cockfight, you know what I'm talking about.

I swear some Americans would probably protest a rattlesnake fight.

That's pretty cool and very humane. Too bad some pointy head PETA fanatic would cry "fowl" for removing the talons...

Did it come with salmonella?

I know you can't be serious.

I highly doubt this website has even one guy hippie enough to weep over a gamecock.

I've seen a few cock fights in my time ... they are brutal and bloody. But the worst ones are the ones that take place in the brooding yards ... sometimes between brothers. They are vicious. It's all they know how to do and it's how they have evolved to propagate only their strongest. Usually the winner takes out his opponent's eyes first, then he tortures him for awhile eventually leaving him to die a slow death, eaten alive by other birds at times.

I was quoting the late and great Ricky Bobby. I don't like animal fights (except alabama fans)

I get it. Animal fights aren't my thing either. I was just talking mess, trying to ruffle a few feathers on a Monday morning.

Such a thing doesn't exist. I've been to some bull fights in Seville Spain and the bull has NO CHANCE!! I was the only guy in the stands rooting for the bull.

If it helps.. the meat from the bull is given to the poor after a bullfight in Spain.

Thanks I probably should have mentioned that. You're partially correct; some of the meat is sold to bar/restaurants. If you go into a restaurant and see a pic of a bull in a picture frame, that's what you're having for dinner.
