Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.), John Ensign (R-Nev.), Arlen Specter (R-Pa.), and Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), and it was approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee on March 15. The bill now awaits signature by President Bush, and will take effect immediately once it is signed into law. Facts: S. 261 had the bipartisan support of 39 cosponsors, and its House companion, H.R. 137, had 304 cosponsors. More than 500 groups have endorsed this legislation, including all major humane organizations, the American Veterinary Medical Association, the National Chicken Council, the National Sheriffs' Association, and more than 400 local law enforcement agencies covering all 50 states. The legislation establishes a felony-level penalty of up to three years of jail time for any interstate or foreign transport of animals for fighting purposes. Dogfighting is illegal in all 50 states. Cockfighting is illegal in 49 states, with Governor Bill Richardson signing a bill to ban cockfighting in New Mexico last month. Only Louisiana allows legal cockfighting. Lawmakers across the country are trying to strengthen anti-animal fighting laws; legislators in Arizona, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Tennessee and Texas are considering bills.

Hillside Acre Animal Cemetery Spam Control Text: Please leave this field empty Animal Fighting In 2006, animal fighting and animal cruelty became a felony in Massachusetts. If convicted, perpetrators may be imprisoned for up to five years and/or fined $1000. In 2009, the law was fortified to include the same penalty for spectators, willing participants who, like fighters, seek to profit from this violent crime. Unfortunately, arrests and convictions for animal fighting are difficult for law enforcement personnel to obtain. The illegal activity typically takes place through underground networks that attract other serious crimes, including gang violence, gambling, drug dealing, weapons offenses, and money laundering. Often, children are matter-of-factly exposed to the brutality, and grow up believing that such cruelty is normal and expected. Education and awareness are indispensable to ending this form of animal cruelty, which experts have shown to be a corollary to various forms of violence against humans.

Throughout history, many heinous things, such as slavery, child labor, and the subjugation of native Americans and women were all strenuously defended on the basis of tradition, culture, and even economics. Animal fighting is no different. Some cockfighting enthusiasts claim that local economies will benefit from the money spent by participants in their communities and in local feed stores (for chicken feed). However, economics does not justify the continuation of a brutal sport which involves intentional cruelty to animals Animal Protection of New Mexico, Inc. (APNM) P.O.
