People of the Web: Playing Chicken by Notme dfsfs

Jason Atkins the owner of Web network, ToughSportsLive.com is caught among advocated of animal rights and amateurs of various cultural sporting events from around the world.On his network is featured cockfighting live from Puerto Rico where is legal, but in U.S. is banned in all 50 states.Atkins said: "Our ultimate goal is to be a cultural website. To produce and show the world's various cultural sporting events."On the site you can also see bare knuckles, no rules Brazilian jujitsu matches dubbed "Rio Heroes," and a show about he says that it's made for America "Girls and Guns" in which women are in bikinis and high heeled boots accessorized with dangerous weapons.The site has a documentary in English where you can find out that the battle will be held in the oldest ring of cockfighting and about the famous fans of this "sport" George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln.But the Human Society oppose to Atkins saying in a statement: "The fact that animal fighting is permitted in other jurisdictions does not give anyone the Constitutional right to peddle animal fighting videos.""I would say [cockfighting is] essentially no different from the crush videos, except this is even more exploitative because it involves gambling," says Bruce Wieland an official from Las Angeles PETA. "Essentially as far as the animal is concerned it's the same deadly result."
