Dear Anjali,

Please remove the film “Cockfighter” from Tubi. Having this film available on TUBI is really shocking, and you should do everything in your power to remove this film and be a voice of compassion instead of siding with the Cockamaniacs. Not only is cockfighting barbaric, vicious, and cruel, but evidence is overwhelming that cockfighting is linked to other crimes and violence. Law enforcement officials have documented the strong connection between cockfighting, illegal gambling, and large-scale manufacturing and distribution of illegal drugs.

Through the years, we’ve adopted many roosters from cockfighting raids into our sanctuary in Virginia. Recovered from the traumas of the cockfighting environment, they live peaceably with their hens in our predator-proof outdoor aviary, sunning themselves, dustbathing, foraging, perching, and behaving normally—not crazily. Roosters forced to act out human aggression have little to do with how roosters live on their own accord. Compulsive fighting is not a natural part of their behavior. In Nature, roosters are busy raising and protecting their families and foraging and socializing with their flock. Their natural behavior is reflected in our sanctuary.

We look forward to your response and to sharing it with our members and others.

Sincerely,

Franklin Wade, Vice President
United Poultry Concerns
