You may have to wait a little bit longer before you can attend a fully licensed and regulated Oklahoma cockfight.
Just a week or so after its leader was charged for being present at a cockfight, the Oklahoma Gamefowl Commission – the 15,000-member group that’s been fighting hard to preserve the traditional, God-given, rural Oklahoma pastime of cockfighting – was ordered to dissolve by the Oklahoma Ethics Commission.
I guess that sadly means Kevin Stitt will not have any cockfighters to cheer on from the sidelines this year:
For what it’s worth, the Commission isn’t being dissolved because it accomplished its goal to lower cockfighting penalties. It also wasn’t ordered to shut down because raising birds to fight other birds to the bitter death is technically “unethical.”
No, they’re getting their feathers plucked for strapping a couple of extra razor blades onto their fundraising talons and not telling anyone.
