There’s certain kinds of chickens that were used for illegal fighting. You guys are regurgitating something you’ve been led to believe that isn’t true. The fact is nobody wants a reject layer rooster for fighting. Wondering about whether the rooster would be fed and properly cared for is legitimate though. The reality is the current trend of backyard chickens in suburban backyards has led to the deaths of far more roosters than before the trend. So...you guys can all pretend like you’re doing a great thing but in the end most roosters will end up dead. It’s a feel good measure without a lot of substance. If it helps everyone feel good about themselves so be it just know it’s not changing much.
Apparently you didn’t read what I wrote either. My comment was geared toward giving a bird away and fearing it being used for something illegal. That’s false. It would be far better if people didn’t post things as fact when in reality it’s just a hunch they have.
Whether it's realistic or not that OP worries about their rooster being used for fights doesn't really matter. Everyone has worries about irrational things but that dosen't mean we should argue with them and call them stupid for it.
For the record, I did NOT "regurgitate something I've been led to believe". I simply acknowledged that it may be something that OP would worry about.
Now i understand that this is something that you feel strongly about but please stop being rude to people. It's very unpleasant and the opposite of productive. Maybe you could start an informational thread about rooster fights, give people all of the information so that no one has irrational fears about them. You seem to have done your research about them. I know that I would read it
