Lawmaker wants tiny boxing gloves on roosters

I've seen some ridiculous legislation in my time, but this proposed law is right up there with the silliest. This bonehead wants to "save" cockfighting. Apparently he doesn't understand that the people who participate in this so-called "sport" are there for one thing and one thing only - blood. If you take that away (which this bill would supposedly do), you kill the "industry" anyway. Not that killing this barbaric practice would be a bad thing ...

An Oklahoma senator hopes to revive cockfighting in the state by putting tiny boxing gloves on the roosters instead of razors.
