   Some places do that, putting razors in place of natural spurs.

   While you have to train a dog to fight, a rooster instinctively goes into battle mood in the presence of another rooster. When I was living in Puerto Rico a rooster would have a scheduled fights for 8 bouts. If a rooster backed away or “chicken out” from fighting the rooster would loose the confidence of its owner and probably become dinner. Now if it won all of its bouts it would be retired as a champion and be used a stud. Its offspring would be sold for thousands of dollars. An untraceable linage would only be worth $25 as my uncle bought the rooster.

   In Puerto Rico it’s still legal, but not as popular as it once was. Different cultures always have customs that are abhorrent to others, such as the fighting fish in Siam now known as Thailand, dogfighting or even pitting praying mantis against each other. If there is combat people will always find entertainment in it regardless of what species is involved.

   When I was a teenager my mother’s brother came to visit and saw a rooster that belonged to my father’s sister. He offered to pay $25 for it. My cousins, my sisters and I chased that thing for 2 hours before it got tired. My uncle bought it for cockfighting. It won the first fight with just two blows (the second blow pierced the heart of the opponent rooster.) It lost the second fight. In the third fight it was crippled by its opponent, my uncle turned it into chicken soup.

   He needs the sounds of nature machine, but instead of crickets it would be keys dangling of a belt.

   Too bad that the constituents don’t remember the antics and fall for the ear tickling.

    I miss the interaction with the inmates and the camaraderie with the officers, what I don’t miss is the idiotic decisions that are made by executive staff who forgot or maybe never worked inside a secure environment.
