*[Enwl-eng] Cockfighting is flourishing in this state, and the government is letting it happen

[ENWL]

            Cockfighting is a brutal and bloody "sport." Demand that 
Oklahoma shut down these nasty fights, now!

                 Almost twenty years ago, the state of Oklahoma banned 
cockfighting — the sadistic "sport" in which two roosters, or "cocks," are 
pumped full of steroids, fitted with knives or other sharp objects, and 
pitted against each other to fight to the death. But because officials have 
not cared to enforce the state's prohibition on cockfighting, Oklahoma is 
not only home to a flourishing cockfighting industry — it's also the hub 
from which fighting roosters are sold and exported to trainers all over the 
world.

                  Experts from animal welfare organizations have called 
Oklahoma the "cockfighting capital of the United States." It may even be the 
cockfighting center of the universe. This isn't the kind of title that any 
state should hope for. It's time for Oklahoma to reinstate its commitment to 
animal welfare, and enforce its laws that ban cockfighting now! Sign the 
petition urging officials in Oklahoma to finally get serious about cracking 
down on brutal cockfights and save animals from horrific suffering!

                  Thank you,

                         Lauren W.

                  P.S. Many call Oklahoma the "cockfighting capital of the 
United States." Tell state officials to stop looking the other way.
