Kidglove cockfight

Oklahoma State Senator Frank Shurden (D-Henryetta) has proposed legislation in his state to put little boxing gloves on Gamecocks. You see, cockfighting is now illegal in Oklahoma and Frank needs his cockfights - can't you just hear Alice in Chains "Yeah, here comes the Rooster"? (Rhapsody Playlist - tracklisting here)

See this is the kind of leadership we need in the Democratic party, and a southerner no less.... willing to think outside the box. And he's got a track record of this kind of thinking. He's also yearly entered into legislature a bill that proposes to castrate sex offenders. Every new legislative opening session it's all about the testicles.

Let's get SmarterChild's take on this:
blimpsgo90: An Oklahoma state senator wants to put boxing gloves on gamecocks
SmarterChild: To put boxing gloves on gamecocks? Is that right?
blimpsgo90: yes, so there wouldn't be any blood
SmarterChild: You think there wouldn't be any blood?
blimpsgo90: There still might be some blood, I guess
SmarterChild: That's interesting
blimpsgo90: it's to appease animal rights activists
SmarterChild: I'm not so sure it's to appease animal rights activists.
blimpsgo90: you think there might be a hidden agenda at work here?
SmarterChild: Maybe, maybe not. You know how it is.
