Speaker 1: Ah, Yes, it's the world famous Ben and Skin Show
Speaker 1: ninety seven point one the Eagle. We've got Luca returning
Speaker 1: to the Metroplex. That's coming your way right here on
Speaker 1: the Eagle tonight. The pregame starts at six. Tip off
Speaker 1: is going to be right around six point forty. You
Speaker 1: don't want to miss that.
Speaker 2: Boy.
Speaker 1: The entire Metroplex is ready for that. But right now,
Speaker 1: Kat has something to talk to you about with regard
Speaker 1: to cock fighting.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, Parker County. He has no Parker County out there.
Speaker 3: Weatherford area officials arrested nine people sees nearly one hundred
Speaker 3: live roosters after breaking up an illegal cockfighting operation. Now
Speaker 3: the Sheriff of Parker County, Sheriff russ espirshly for us.
Speaker 3: He says his department got a crime stoppers tip, So
Speaker 3: that's good that crime stoppers are still happening.
Speaker 2: That's good. Take a bite out of crime please arrive.
Speaker 3: Forty people scatter into the woods, least go investigate. They
Speaker 3: go into the barn, they see the cockfighting ring, several
Speaker 3: dead and wounded roosters, and the owner of the property's
Speaker 3: a guy named Jesus. He told investigation that he owned
Speaker 3: six of the birds, and he was hosting the event
Speaker 3: for work friends, which like us, we're hosting a big
Speaker 3: open house up here for work friends at iHeart today.
Speaker 2: I think there's going to be some cockfighting, cockfighting out
Speaker 2: in the hallway.
Speaker 3: Investigators believe he was charging forty dollars per person spectator feet.
Speaker 3: They ended up seizing ninety six live roosters, fifty razor
Speaker 3: sharp slashers, which they attached to the talon.
Speaker 2: Oh that's how I go kill them? Then they you know,
Speaker 2: fight to the death.
Speaker 3: They also found fifteen thousand dollars believed to be proceeds
Speaker 3: from the gambling operation.
Speaker 2: Can I yes?
Speaker 1: Then I struggle with understanding this one why it's illegal
Speaker 1: and and here's why. Okay, if it's a peda thing,
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, these animals are it's not fair of
Speaker 1: these animals. I get that, But what about when we
Speaker 1: eat chicken tenders? Well, like, like, are we are we
Speaker 1: that emotional about that? Is someone calling crime stoppers over
Speaker 1: that too? I'm just trying to understand. No, I think
Speaker 1: it's fair. I think there's two reasons it's illegal. One
Speaker 1: is because probably three honestly, One is that it's cultural
Speaker 1: and it's not a part of mainstream culture. Number two,
Speaker 1: it generates money that is not tax just like gambling
Speaker 1: or drugs or anything.
Speaker 2: Like that with our bags.
Speaker 3: And then number three happens to gambling not being money
Speaker 3: not being taxed.
Speaker 4: What happens all the time. I'm sorry when this happens
Speaker 4: all the time. Yeah, it's illegal.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it happens all the time. No, I agree,
Speaker 2: And they try to stop it because it's illegal.
Speaker 3: It's an unstoppable force. Okay, you want to go have
Speaker 3: side bets with your friends, that's untaxed money.
Speaker 4: Agreed, But it's illegal. Yeah okay uh. And then number
Speaker 4: three I forgot number three animal cruelty. Oh, number three,
Speaker 4: animal animal cruelty. Yeah, it is because the idea is
Speaker 4: that it again, you are going to kill them to
Speaker 4: eat them, but you don't tape blades to their talents
Speaker 4: and make them kill each other.
Speaker 1: Right, But while they're standing in line waiting to go
Speaker 1: get slaughtered so you can eat them there Still it's not.
Speaker 2: A great situation for them. I would say, Yeah, slattering
Speaker 2: cows is animal cruelty. What's that? Then slaughtering cows animal cruelty?
Speaker 2: It's all it's all to me, it's all that's all
Speaker 2: animal cruel.
Speaker 1: I get it, this is more cruel, but let's not
Speaker 1: act like all of it isn't cruel.
Speaker 4: No, no, no, I don't disagree with that at all.
Speaker 4: But I think there is something too, like, Hey, but
Speaker 4: and there's actually some people that are vegetarians that believe
Speaker 4: this is that when you are eating the meat that
Speaker 4: you eat, you're inhaling the stress of another creature, right, yeah,
Speaker 4: And so if you're the very final moments of that creature,
Speaker 4: is they have a blade tape to them and they
Speaker 4: got to fight for their life.
Speaker 1: Or they're in line to be slaughtered while their friends
Speaker 1: around them are all slaughtered in that line, you're next,
Speaker 1: you know, or the bull fighting you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So it does beg the question, how much chicken
Speaker 2: do you think you've had in your life that was
Speaker 2: a direct result of cock fighting. That's surely a small percentage, surely, surely.
Speaker 1: But if you're if you're at someone's house and they're
Speaker 1: like a world renowned chef and they're like, hey, look
Speaker 1: we made some chicken betas, these are actually fighting roosters,
Speaker 1: you're gonna say, oh my god, I cannot eat these
Speaker 1: these animals died in a cruel.
Speaker 2: Way in battle. Oh, I can't eat these, No, it's
Speaker 2: gonna say that. No, I just I don't even think
Speaker 2: about that part of the meat, the rescue chicken. Do
Speaker 2: you guys want to know the names.

Speaker 2: That's great. Is that a list that you put together
Speaker 2: last night? Those are the names the actual roosters that
Speaker 2: have suffered. They put a lot of hens in there
Speaker 2: and like eggs, like they need to get there, you know,
Speaker 2: they need to figure out what the difference between rooster
Speaker 2: and it is. So yeah, so is there hen fighting
