Topic: There Goes The Neighborhood

Three Men Plead Guilty to Cockfights
by Sonja Bjelland

...On March 2, a multiagency team raided the fiesta in the 3800 block of Campbell Street in Glen Avon, according to court records. 

..."There were two cocks fighting outside of (the) barn," stated a declaration in support of an arrest warrant.  "One of those two cocks later died."

Police found 27 dead roosters in a trash can in front of the barn, according to court records.  One was found dead inside the barn.

Thirty-five birds that animal control officers found in cages, carriers and boxes had to be euthanized, court records show.

Inside the barn, officers found a scale on a table along with one bottle of tequila and a bottle of whiskey.  The scale was used to weigh the roosters to determine hwo to pair them for fights, court records stated.

In the middle of the barn was a plywood arena.

At the scene, police arrested Jose Cortez, who lived at the home, Francisco Torres Lopez of Mira Loma, and Dario Espinoza of Los Angeles.  All were charged with animal cruelty and possessing gaffs and slashers, which are attached to the roosters legs and used to inflict injury.

...At the time, police also arrested Carlos Querro Ramirez, who had fled on horseback.  Charges against him were later dropped.

Guess this is more of the "jobs Americans won't do"!

The core joke of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is that of course no civilization would develop personal computers with instant remote database recovery, and then waste this technology to find good drinks.
Steve Jobs has ruined this joke.

Re: There Goes The Neighborhood

I'm a huge fan of fleeing on horse back - that's a keeper in and of itself.

We have problems with dog fighting here in the UK, we always have and possibly always will; in fact my Dobermann (a rescued dog) was bred and forced to fight by a couple of Poles.
The sight or sound of another dog makes her piss herself in hysterical terror, so she has to be exercised between midnight and five am.
Notice how I'm not even begining to insinuate that kicking out the Poles will fix the problem?

"So, it's defeat for you, is it? Someday I must meet a similar fate..."

They actually let people keep those dogs as pets?  Dog fighting isn't to common here in Canada, far as I know, but when it happens the dogs are usually put down because the way they were raised makes them too vicious.

"Notice how I'm not even begining to insinuate that kicking out the Poles will fix the problem?"

It'd be fun though

There are 10 kinds of people in this world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

No, some friends rescued her and I took her in. I expected that I would have to put her down, but (I don't know why) she did not become permanently aggressive like your usual fighting dog.

I think it was never in her; people seem to think that Dobermann's are dangerous and aggressive (those.... people obviously did) because they make good guard dogs, when in fact they make good guard dogs because they are one of the top three most intelligent breeds.

How intelligent is a dog that trembles and pisses itself at the sight of another dog.

If you trembled and pissed your pants everytime someone saw you, people wouldn't call you one of the top 3 intelligent people in the world. They would call you a pansy.

Well that's good.

"If you trembled and pissed your pants everytime someone saw you, people wouldn't call you one of the top 3 intelligent people in the world. They would call you a pansy."

Ok I'm going to lock you in a box, give you minimal food and water and beat you senselessly for about 3 years.  All the while I'm going to be showing you images of rabbits.  When you finally get out how well are you going to respond to the sight of rabbits or anyone who looks like me?

Re: There Goes The Neighborhood

Well if I just let you lock me in a box, I'm not very intelligent. I would probably not let you do that.

Exactly.

Now THERE is an intelligent animal. A horse. It can help you flee. A dog just pisses on you. Useless.

RainyDayKid = troll

Responding to him will only get more dumb responses from him smile


Anyways, not all fight dogs have to be put down.  There are programs to resocialize dogs in this situation.  Some respond effectively to the programs, others don't.  So you'll have a mix of euthanized dogs, dogs that must be caged permanently, and dogs that can go back into society.  (This is what happened to Michael Vick's dogs anyways)

Wow, you are an extremely intelligent person. I'm in awe of you.

"Well if I just let you lock me in a box, I'm not very intelligent. I would probably not let you do that."

Another smart comment. If I were four times the size of you, I would have no problem at all throwing you in a box and locking you up. You'd have no choice in the matter. And if you weren't particularly aggressive, you would probably tremble and piss your pants when I put you in the ring with some major-league badass that was about to pummel you.
