NO one said he was using them for illegal purposes. Aren't you putting the cart before the horse? There is a lot of people in the U.S. that have Gamefowl. There are a lot of people like the look some show them at poultry shows and I know that American Game hen's will out lay any Hybrid chicken you get at a hatchery...
What about the people that sell there Old English, Old English Game Bantams, Modern Game, Modern Game Bantams and Aseel's do you want to flag them also?

I agree, you said it a lot nicer than I was about to Chris.. Getting kind of annoyed at all of the people on this forum who never stop to think people may want to raise games for more than just cockfighting.
Lines like this sell for that much because they are excellent lines, even in other breeds. Have you seen Greenfirefarms sussex? I know of at least three different people who paid 3,000 dollars without a second though for a trio of YOUNG birds.. I'm not saying these game lines are worth that much, but to some it could be. I personally would never pay that much, or charge that much for a bird when you can get birds for a lot cheaper that are just as good if not better.. Like me, I plan to breed the best I can- I don't plan to charge more than 200 tops for a pair or so. That's shipped.. I'm just not into raising birds for money.
I raise the games because they're beautiful, I love their personalities, and they are pretty much just "in my blood". Like my signature says, my great grandfather, grandfather, grandmother, and father all owned the gamefowl. I don't see why people feel it is right to boycott my birds but they should be allowed to do whatever they want with theirs just because they're fluffy.

ETA: And this isn't directed at you really, Farmer_Dan.. It is something that goes on all the time here.
I was biting my tong the whole time...
I think it might have been a lot nicer that what Cuda would have said all so..
