Instead of keeping cockfighting illegal, the Saint Maarten government
wants to allow citizens to gamble with roosters' lives. We can't allow this!
Cockfighting is a messy business with a bloody history. Gamblers
have long forced these birds to fight to the death for their own selfish gain,
despite current laws calling them out on the heartless practise.
After
mutilating roosters by chopping off their combs and wattles, gamblers strip away
parts of the birds' feet to make room for weapons that can gouge out opponents'
eyes. Once the birds are dead or dying, they end up tossed out like garbage.
Saint Maarten's government voted to remove the penal code for cock
fighting. We only have a limited window of time to stop them from
reversing this penal code.
Tell Saint Maarten to not
legalise cock fighting!
