Oklahoma has some weird legislative ideas. Apparently, the people of Oklahoma voted to outlaw cockfighting back in 2002. So state senator Frank Shurden has come up with a way to bring back the sport and appease the animal-rights activists.
State Sen. Frank Shurden, a longtime defender of cockfighting, is suggesting that roosters be given little boxing gloves so they can fight without bloodshed. The proposal is in a bill the Democrat has introduced for the legislative session that begins Feb. 7.
I shit you not. He’s actually going to bring legislation to put little boxing gloves on roosters.
“Who’s going to object to chickens fighting like humans do? Everybody wins,” Sen. Frank Shurden said.
What’s even funnier is what the legislation is going to be called.
Shurden’s legislation would create the Oklahoma Pari-mutuel Gamecock Boxing Act.
So where would this take place? At horse races, of course.
Shurden believes it could be incorporated into horse racing, providing the boxing between horse races.
Some of the money earned from wagers on gamecock boxing matches would go to the state.
“I guarantee it would work,” Shurden said of the nonlethal fighting of roosters.
I’m about to pee my pants.
