To be honest I'm torn on how to vote on this one and how I feel about it.

We slaughter chickens for food all the time... Thousands upon thousands daily.

It's highly competitive and actually is a big boost in some of these rural areas' economies (rural Oklahoma is VERY destitute so any kind of industry at all is big there).

We hunt and kill animals all the time as a means of recreation right or wrong it's legal in 50 states as far as I know.

So with the same animal that we normally would slaughter by the thousands why not have another legal means of entertainment?

One could say it was cruel and that it was torture except for the fact that these birds were they to meet in nature would do exactly the same thing they are doing now for sport.

It's an interesting idea anyway. I'll probably vote no because of the image it gives the state but I can see both sides here.
