MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - The Humane Society of the United States
rates Alabama's cockfighting law as the weakest in the nation.
Now, that organization and Attorney General Troy King say they
will work together to get the Legislature to change the law from a
misdemeanor to a felony. King says he would like to make the
cockfighting law like Alabama's dogfighting law, which the Humane
Society rates as one of the country's best.
The Humane Society also announced it is offering $5,000 rewards
for information leading to the arrest and conviction of anyone
involved in illegal animal fighting.
