SB 134 (Game Fowl Fighting - Amendments)
Libertas Institute opposes this bill. This will would criminalize cockfighting along with possession of fighting birds and being a spectator at a cockfighting event.
Libertas Institute opposes this bill. Animals do not have rights, and are routinely (and legally) killed for sport and food. Imposing criminal penalties for causing them harm in other ways is inconsistent and unjustified. This is a basic property rights issue; preventing people from using their animals (a form of property) and authorizing the unwarranted invasion of their property (homes, businesses, etc.) is a violation of liberty. |
