OK, I am all for dog fighting being a felony,

but why is cock fighting only a misdemeaner?

Dog=cock=animal?

It's a personal and cultural bias thing. Dogs are mammals and pets, chickens are for KFC. I guess it's hypocritical but I find dog fights much more disturbing than cockfights (from TV)

Ask your PETA friends- why is it perfectly legal to butcher a cow, but not OK to marry one??

No, you miss my pt.

They are both involved in fighting for the purpose of gambling.

I met this fella from Bolivia who had a huge rooster just for fighting and planned to return to Bolivia for more, because of the amount of money he was making off the fights.

It should be a felony across the board.

Spunky2,

They are both illegal. Whether one is a felony or midemeanor - they are both illegal.

DUH, I know that, so was the Bolivian. They should both be felonies in my mind, they both bleed.

Plus, wasn't this a nice injected distraction off the subject of the "Bail-out"?

dog = pet

cock = dinner

big difference.

our legal system is bunk anyways. You can't judge the relative severity of crimes by the relative severity of their punishment. For instance compare

http://leg1.state.va.us/cgi-bin/legp504.exe?000+cod+18.2-311

with http://leg1.state.va.us/cgi-bin/legp504.exe?000+cod+18.2-308

Both cover possession of concealed weapons, under the first if you are caught with a blackjack, you get convicted of a class 4 misdemeanor, the second busts you with a class 1. So how does the cop feel the day he writes you up?

Just an example.
