Animal cruelty no more

In a historic move, the Louisiana House Agriculture committee passed a bill to ban cockfighting. Louisiana was the only state where this is legal. Past bills didn't pass out of the committee, but they saw the winds of change. The only thing is it was passed with an effective date in 18 months. Other bills are pending to make it effective immediately. There is the chance that this bill will be amended to make it effective immediately as well. Poor, poor mouthbreathers. Now they'll have to enjoy their animal torture underground.
