State police found 70 dead roosters and several wounded birds on a farm in Bourbon County. The cause: cockfighting. Now six people are facing second-degree animal cruelty charges after the Bourbon County Sheriff’s office and Kentucky State police executed a warrant. Often, cockfight involves fastening razor blades on their legs so that there blows in the arena are more lethal. But treating animals in such a cruel way for entertainment is inhumane. It’s also in human. God put us here to take care of his earth and his animals. And when people gather together to cheer on bloodletting, often for the sake of money, it disregards God’s creation and the welfare of animals that we should all be concerned with.
