Cockfighting, a brutal practice where roosters fight with metal objects attached to their legs, is prevalent in Georgia, attracting participants from other states due to the lack of specific laws against it. State legislators, including Sen. Randy Robertson, are pushing for Senate Bill 102 to address the issue, which has been linked to other crimes such as gambling and trafficking. Recent investigations have revealed instances of animal cruelty, highlighting the need for Georgia to enact legislation to protect both animals and public safety.
