The killing of two people at a cockfighting event should enrage people, but the fact that this has been going on in our own backyard for decades, but is only getting coverage now, should concern people as well.
Once again, whether it is dogfighting or cockfighting, it doesn’t get the attention it deserves unless human lives are affected.
The fact that these innocent and helpless animals, who suffer as we do, are subjected to unspeakable suffering but doesn’t make the news or get the attention it deserves unless human lives are impacted, saddens and concerns me, as it should anyone who has a conscience.
How can we see the horrific images of animals torn apart for profit and glory, and just shake our heads but not care enough to do something about it?
