Romanian Princess Arrested In Oregon Cockfighting Ring

[santeesioux]

HRH Princess Irina, third daughter of the exiled King Michael I, fifth in line to the Romanian throne, has been charged with operating a large cockfighting ring out of her ranch in Eastern Oregon, because living in Eastern Oregon will do that to you.

According to prosecutors, Irina and her husband (a former sheriff's deputy, natch) were among 28 people indicted after a massive federal crackdown on cockfighting. The princess and her husband allegedly hosted at least 10 derbies, and they sound like quite the social events:

Given that it's illegal in all 50 States I would suggest Americans give a shit.

My guess is the fact it's gambling is why it's illegal.

The conditions under which food and egg birds live their short lives is unfortunate and cruel as well which I think is probably a stronger counterpoint seeing as how gambling is pervasive in American culture.
