I remember one night about a year ago, I was having dinner over at Jane’s house and her dad started telling a story about the time that he took his kids to a cockfighting match. I was really surprised that this kind of thing still went on in major public venues, and specifically that it wasn’t illegal.
The vote on the bill that made cockfighting illegal was passed unanimously. The bill also included a section that made gambling at cockfighting events illegal which will likely put an end to the event even quicker.
However, this could have a black market effect on the traditional sport. Cockfighting generates a lot of revenue for the counties that have highly rooted traditions in the fights. Likely cockfighting will still go on in Louisiana for generations, it will just be under the roost now. Now the local law enforcement has the egg on their plate to stop the gruesome battles from occurring. Good luck to the police of Louisiana.

Where can I go to watch these cock fights? I live in Beauregard Parish and just found out that it is still legal here.
