A Walmex spokesman, Antonio Ocaranza, said the roosters weren’t armed with blades, no betting took place at the store and no birds were harmed.
“It wasn’t a cockfight,” Ocaranza said yesterday in a telephone interview in Mexico City. “There wasn’t anything that would be in violation of any game regulations.”
Yes, I guess under that very specific definition, “unarmed roosters fighting just for kicks in a big box store” is juuuuuust fine.
Boy, they REALLY don’t want to pay that potential $7,240 fine. You know, the maximum fine they’re facing for HOSTING A COCKFIGHT IN A WALMART.
