Cock Fighting
The last few years has seen the evolution of laws against "cock fighting". It's well known that most of these people have since moved on to Mexico. Still, the Texas House has approved a measure to toughen punishments for activities related to cockfighting. Some some lawmakers actually crowing for emphasis to support this bill. It amends the state penal code to make it a felony to knowingly cause one rooster to fight another, earn money from fights or operate a facility for them. Also the owning or training a cock for fighting will be a misdemeanor and attending a fight as a spectator a lesser misdemeanor. It causes worry to people who are actually raising chickens for the farm fresh eggs. I suppose everything is going commercial, and the includes raising chickens for eggs.
