Cockfighting ban overruled, again.
Proposed cockfighting ban fails in La.
Sometimes I get down in the dumps, living in this place. You know the routine. But sometimes something comes along and lifts my spirits. Like when I saw that we’re still committed to legal cockfighting in Louisiana.
Sometimes my friends who don’t live here are all like “yeah we have Burger Kings that don’t close at 7 pm, and have you ever been to this place called Taco Bell?” And I get mad becuase I haven’t had a Chalupa in probably a year. And that’s bad, when Taco Bell is like some kind of exotic treat, you know? Something that you have to make a journey for. Most people look at Taco Bell as if it’s a destination of last resort, a place to go when all other options fail. Not for us. Our Taco Bells lay in ruins. And nothing seems to suggest that they will ring again.
Sometimes, though, I’m reminded of why the Meximelt and Gordito drought is insignificant– it’s because I can still walk down the street with a bottle of gin in my hand, en route to a cockfight. In theory, at least. I’ve never done it and I think that Orleans Parish actually does not permit cockfighting, although there are plenty of activities that take place here that aren’t technically legal. But still, even if I have to travel to a nearby parish to see a rooster eviscerate another rooster with affixed metal claws, life is good. Where y’at now, Illinois? You can have your Nachos Bellgrande. I’ll be betting on a bantam rooster and drinking moonshine.
Sometimes, I feel alright.

Its good to know that we still have our priorities.
Cock fighting has to be kept legal.
The second that cock fighting becomes illegal the testing
done for avian influenza on the legal birds stops!!
“Save a human ! Keep cock fighting legal!!”

I need a bumper sticker with that slogan on it, Laurie!
Geaux for it!
This’s a public board, the human health risk
outway the stopping of testing.
Think buttons too!!

I don’t understand that arguement Laurie. I keep hearing it on the radio and I’m just not getting it. Is it a joke or something I’ve missed? Please, someone help me understand because I fail to see where one thing has to do with another.
Also, the Toco Bell on Vets is almost completely rebuilt and seems destined to open very soon. I believe there’s one out in Elmwood as well. I can’t wait for the one on Claiborne to reopen so I can start my steady, and weird weight gaining program.
As long as cock fighting is kept legal the roosters and hens
involved in cock fighting will by law be tested for avian flu.
The nanosecond cock fightigng becomes illegal
the tested for avian influenza imposed by law ends.
The birds will not to be tested for avian flu putting you at risk
since cock fighting will be forced underground.
Imagine New Orlean’s has an avian flu epidemic now which is unnecessary.
That’s the clearest I can get.
Laurie
I see. I don’t buy that though. That’s some messed up logic and poor rationalization.
Thanks for explaining though.
Would you rather untested birds spewing blood
infecting humans who can infect other humans?
There are still dead bodies out there why add to the mold?
Laurie
That’s fine, so we’ll test the logic:
Can anyone name another state in the US, where cockfighting is illegal and they’ve had significant bird flu outbreaks attributed to an underground cockfighting industry?
For those who are logically challenged here’s one way to look at it:
“Another form an INDIRECT proof can take is “proof by contradiction.”
Here we assume that the hypothesis is true and the conclusion is false
(something which could NEVER happen if the theorem is true), and then
try to deduce something nonsensical from all these assumptions. If
assumptions lead to a nonsensical conclusion, the assumptions cannot
have been true.”

The CDC will lose the money to test the birds
the second the ban takes effect.
Until a way is found to keep testing for avian flu
plus other diseases this problem will exist.
Truth be told it is no different from when your grandma
or mom wrung the necks of chicken and defeathered it
to feed you or your mother or father.
Animal populations balance out, this includes humans.
I believe horse racing is inhumane, but that’s me!
Should I shoot my dog’s for catching squirells and rabbits
then consuming the prize.
Sorry I have to take my dogs to vet to get dead now don’t I.
The Omnivores shall rule the earth again!!
How to dry a squirell tail:
Wet under facet
Throw in dryer under delicates for 15 minutes
If not dry enough, repeat procedure wet less dry less
Laurie
I ate Taco Bell for dinner last night in my car while driving and drinking a beer. I may have run over a pigeon.
And, you just left the meat in the road?!!
How big was it?
Laurie
well, then, Laurie, why are we worried about testing bird flu? Bird flu is just another tool for balancing populations right? We should leave it alone and let it do its job.
It’s not that I’m not panicking.
Let’s face facts, this supposed flu was going to take down
100,000’s-1,000,000’s of people in a land of millions and billions
so far it has only the capability of taking 1,000’s
and that’s a high number.
The real question is, Jack with the medical facilities down
and not running at 100% is this the right time?
I think this is the wrong time.
Do we need even one more infected body in all of south east
Louisiana alone at this time.
Avian Influenza - not my favourite subject thanks for putting up with me
I didn’t feel like I had a choice.
