Watch Out for Anti-Sabong Politicians

Nowadays, we should not only be aware of narco-politics, but also of animal rights politics.

I was surprise to see on television the other day a tv reporter who has been at the forefront of several animal rights protests in the pasts.

He was there when foreign strip teasers scandalized Quiapo Church. He was there when the white-skinned infiltrators vandalized Manila Zoo and showed the children how malicious humans can be. He was there when two guys, one wearing a chicken suit, created a commotion in front of Araneta Coliseum red gate while the World Slasher Cup was being held.

Immediately, one began to think what this guy has done or if he has enough track record or if he really has the money to run a respectable senatorial campaign. Although, the obvious is that he should be financed by the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals or the Humane Society, two U.S. based organizations which are responsible for the illegalization of sabong in America.

We hear of a mayoralty candidate arrested for pushing drugs. We read about drug enforcement officials warning us that bigtime pushers are now trying to get their own people in elective positions to protect their interests.

I am not calling the attention of sabong-lovers only. These warning also goes to poultry raisers; egg producers; livestock farmers and the likes because these animal rights groups are drumbeating the idea that animals should not be killed or eaten because they have the same rights as human beings.

In America today, after the animal terrorists have cause the outlawing of cockfighting through the dissemination of lies, PETA and HSUS are now staging pickets in front of McDonald’s and KFC restaurants to scare away customers. They now lead raids on gamefowl farms, animal-testing facilities, poultries, piggeries and cattle farms.

Are we ready to counter the onslaught of these groups in the Philippines or are we just playing stubborn, over confident or simply does not care. Scrutinize who you will vote for now rather than curse them later when they are already making laws for us.

How about a joke to beat the summer heat. This one was sent to me by email by my friend Kelly Everly of Kentucky.

OLD BROODCOCK

A farmer goes out one day and buys a brand new stud rooster for his chicken coop.

The new rooster struts over to the old rooster and says, "OK old guy time for you to retire."

The old rooster replies, "Come on, surely you cannot handle all of

these hens. Look what it has done to me. Can't you just let me have the two old hens over in the corner?"

The young rooster says, "Beat it. You are washed up and I am taking over."

The old rooster says, "I tell you what, young stag. I will race you around the farmhouse. Whoever wins gets the exclusive domain over the entire chicken coop."

The young rooster laughs. "You know you don't stand a chance old man. So, just to be fair I will give you a head start."

The old rooster takes off running. About 15 seconds later the young rooster takes off running after him. They round the front porch of the farmhouse and the young rooster has closed the gap. He is already about 5 inches behind the old rooster and gaining fast.

The farmer, meanwhile, is sitting in his usual spot on the front porch when he sees the roosters running by. He grabs his shotgun and - BOOM - He blows the young rooster to bits.

The farmer sadly shakes his head and says, "Dammit... third gay rooster I bought this month."
