Cockfighting Video Angers Activists
KENTUCKY...
In Kentucky, cockfighting is a misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in jail. At a news conference in the state Capitol Tuesday, the Humane Society of the United States released a video showing what appears to be an unidentified Kentucky State Police trooper standing among spectators while roosters fought in an arena near Manchester. Animals rights activists are angered by the video. Humane Society official John P. Goodwin says a portion of the video was shot earlier this month, while the remainder was shot in January 2009.
