Aqui vienen los gallos

A state senator in Oklahoma wants to revive cockfighting. Apparently this form of entertainment brought in ludicrous amounts of money, and it would be an excellant way to revive the state's economy.

[The] roosters [would] wear little boxing gloves attached to their spurs, as well as lightweight, chicken-sized vests configured with electronic sensors to record hits and help keep score.

"It's like the fencing that you see on the Olympics, you know, where they have little balls on the ends of the swords and the fencers wear vests," said Shurden. "That's the same application that would be applied to the roosters."

I thought the whole point of cockfighting was seeing two roosters go at it, blood and all. Take out the blood, and well you have Chicken Run 2.
