| Amazon Supports Cockfighting Actually, I had no idea what 'cockfighting' even was. I had to look it up: "Roosters raised for fighting are often confined to tiny cages and tormented to make them aggressive. Cockfighters feed “gamecocks” a steady diet of stimulants and blood clotting drugs and attach razor sharp spurs to the birds’ feet to make fights more “exciting” (i.e., bloody). The birds suffer broken wings and legs, punctured lungs, severed spinal cords, and gouged out eyes. The “lucky” ones die; the survivors are fought again. There is no “victory” for fighting cocks." The Humane Society of the United States to Sue Amazon.com for Promoting Cockfighting http://www.hsus.org/press_and_publications/press_releases/hsus_to_sue_amazon_promoting_cockfighting.html and The letter wrtten to Amazon's President and CEO Jeffery. B. Benzo http://www.hsus.org/web-files/PDF/NoticeofIntenttoSueAmazon-FINAL.pdf I'm still trying to comprehend how such a thing is LEGAL in parts of the United States! Amazon puts SHAME in the name U.S.A. themselves, and the buyers who support them while knowing that fact. Amazon, did you know about the A.L.F.??? - Watch out! |
