Chicken Boxing?

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - A state senator has a plan for saving Oklahoma's gamefowl industry now that cockfighters are legally prohibited from pitting birds fitted with razor-like spurs. 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.

"Who's going to object to chickens fighting like humans do? Everybody wins," Sen. Frank Shurden said. "Let the roosters do what they love to do without getting injured," Shurden said. "To me it answers everything. It saves the industry, takes blood sport out and generates revenue for Oklahoma," Shurden said.


I think we should outfit Sen. Shurden with little boxing gloves and have the rooster, fitted with spurs, have a go at him!

What a freaking idiot.
