COCKFIGHTING IN MISSOURI UNITED POULTRY CONCERNS ACTION ALERT |
|
October 1997 through May 1998
A Political Action Committee has been formed in Missouri to gather signatures for a statewide ballot initiative to ban cockfighting and all animal fighting sports in November 1998. Missouri is one of five states that still allows cockfighting. Children regularly attend the fights screaming "kill him." Sandy Mickelson of St. Louis, founder of Missourians Against Cockfighting, told the press, "We're tired of the political process. We're going to the people." Missourians Against Cockfighting have until June 1998 to gather the 139,000 signatures statewide that are needed to place an initiative on the November 1998 ballot. PLEASE HELP! PLEASE NOTE: CONTRIBUTIONS ARE NOT TAX-DEDUCTIBLE. | |
