Georgia Remains Last State Without Cockfighting Law as Bill Falls Short Again

• Share on:

For the fourth consecutive year, a bill to criminalize cockfighting in Georgia fell short in the state Legislature, leaving the state as the only one without such a law. Sponsored by Sen. Randy Robertson, Senate Bill 102 passed the Senate but did not receive a vote in the House. Advocates argue that the lack of legislation perpetuates a culture of violence and animal cruelty, with ongoing investigations revealing the connection between cockfighting and other crimes.
