Okay, so it's really not nice to let a bunch of birds kill each other, but doesn't the Tennessee State Police have anything better to do with their time?

Several SWAT teams, helicopters and dozens of state troopers participated in the raid Saturday on the sprawling Del Rio Cockfight Pit. They seized about $40,000 in cash and killed more than 300 roosters.

In Tennessee? Between the cockfights and the moonshine running I guess not.

Let me get this straight, to stop people from killing birds they swoop down with an army and kill 300 roosters, am I the only one that sees the irony in this?
Cogito, ergo sum

Sometimes it is that simple.

They were trying to prevent birds killing birds, not people killing birds. It's illegal for birds to kill birds in Tennessee you know... :roll:
