I own gamefowl myself and raise alot of these birds. Thier beauty is beyond unbelievable and thats why ive loved these birds since the age of 12. I want to know if they were actually caught in the act fighting these birds cause owning them simply doesnt mean your fighting them. If they were caught then euthanize em but I cant see killing an animal just because they look lilke gamefowl. It is not illegal to own gamefowl,but it is illegal to own with the intent to fight. Isnt there some type of way the az humane society can contact gamefowl owners that do not fight them and let us take the roosters so they do not have to be killed by euthanization? Doesnt that make the humane society just as bad as these animal fighters in some way? I mean we are against the cockfighters for killing these animals but if the humane society gets a hold of them they kill em anyways, It just doesnt make sense to me. I would love to have these roosters as one could bring up to 200.00 dollars each after rehabilitation. THere are plenty of gamefowl owners here in AZ that would love to have them also

Animal abuse is not needed in the U.S. and we should boycott any country that allows it. Just my personal opinion.

I think death by hanging for all involved is appropriate. No I'm serious, we need to rid the planet of these worthless oxygen thieves.
