People do anything for money these days 😒
Sad…….
How about dog fighting? Is that not a blood sport? It’s been going on for decades and the Police know who’s involved and where fighting occurs. They have turned a blind eye to it for a long, long time. Some say the Police themselves are involved as there is a lot of money being made. It’s disgusting!
Maldito pícaro,ve a liberar su pais de los pitices
COCKFIGHTING AT BAR…! …WHAT THE HELL…?
Interesting bit of news-‘…COCKFIGHTING AT BAR!’
Really – 17-FOWLS, with ‘…52 SPECTATORS!’
They may have been really ‘…BOOZED.’
QUESTION:
Just ‘…What they may have been fighting for- ‘…BLOODY MARY: or …WHISKEY?’
NOW:
If the ‘…COCKS’ were inappropriately dressed, and ‘…Fighting,’ in a ‘…PUBLIC PLACE,’ then they might be properly Charged with:
(i) ‘…DISORDERLY CONDUCT BY FIGHTING: and
(ii) …INDECENT EXPOSURE.’
Ahh come on. Maybe they were have a chicken party and those aspirin for when they get head ache from eating the chicken, also any substance must have been the seasoning for the chicken. 🤣🤣
So the police go on Popeshead street and the only illegal activity they can find is cockfighting? What a joke. This like when George bush went into Iraq and all they found were horse-drawn rocket launchers.
A very big kudos to the police.
Please continue to do this. Happy to know that it’s against the law.
Any kind of animal abuse is despicable. Bravo 👏👏👏👏👏👏
