SUPPORT: Agriculture- Roosters – Restrictions – SB 1055/HB 1030.

Cockfighting is a horrific crime where roosters are bred for aggression and placed in a pit to fight each other to the death with razor-sharp knives or other sharp instruments attached to their legs for amusement and gambling.

SB1055/HB1030 protects animals and our communities from the adverse effects of cockfighting by prohibiting the possession of more than five roosters per acre or 25 total per property, while providing exceptions for commercial agriculture operations, shelters, rescues, and a limited number of other entities.

Let’s ensure that cockfighting has no place in Maryland.
