Cockfighting and Religion

Warning: Contains graphic images.
It can be found throughout Scripture - the idea that the abuse of animals is an abuse of God's creation. Now Dr. Richard Land and other religious teachers are becoming allies in the fight to end the exploitation of animals used in blood sports.

"A pornography of violence". How true. Thank you for posting. All atrocities of blood sport needs to stop. The most upsetting part is the children, growing up immune to compassion or morals.

Can this not be forbidden? Are there petitions to sign?

I'm British. Religion isn't exactly instilled in me, but this is a disgrace seeing people just sit there and watch it like a movie. We are a small country, so it is much easier to instill law. People wouldn't get away with this. I don't think that talking about Jesus is going to have much effect though.

I wish instead of appealing to God and religion this video made secular arguments against animal cruelty. There are many strong arguments against animal cruelty and you don't need God to tell you that this is wrong.

Blood sports like this need to stop!!!! But something i dont understand is ppl make a big fuss over this sort of thing but what about the animals in the food industry before they go to slaughter??? Slaughter animals are treated just as cruel and are kept in such unsanitary conditions. We not only need to stick up for animals that are being forced to fight, as well as the welfare of slaughter animals before they go to slaughter.

I don't agree with their religious beliefs but I definitely stand with them to stop cockfighting and the abuse of other animals.

It's great when religious leaders use their influence for good. I wish it happened more often.

I have to agree with Fyralynn comment very powerful video but what the hell has it got do with god?? im not a believer like many others but i know right from wrong and if God is soo great where was he when these poor animals were forced to fight and torn to death?? And if your such a godly Country why are their children watching and cheering?? just another way to make america look better to the rest of the world, hcus should concentrate more on helping these animals than involving God.

1:15. So true. And I hate religion to. But I love my faith. Christianity isn't a religion. It's a faith. Everyone has their own views. No hate comments.
