Like dog fighting, cock fighting is also brutal and senseless

Jul 21, 2020 Letters

DEAR EDITOR,

The Guyana Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (GSPCA) would like to express its outrage that, according to recent reports in the media, the inhumane act of cockfighting regularly takes place on Sundays at the Port Mourant Race Course.
Like dog fighting, which is another despicable “sport,” cock fighting is also brutal and senseless. It should be no surprise that the people who participate in these atrocious acts exhibit the same characteristics. There is a well-documented link between the barbaric acts of cockfighting and dog fighting and other crimes and violence. As Guyanese, we need to safeguard the moral fibre of our society by reporting these acts to authorities when witnessed.
The Society commends the Guyana Police Force for fulfilling its legal obligation to quash these illegal activities and arrest the perpetrators. Under Guyana’s laws, cockfighting and dog-fighting are both illegal, and those found guilty of participating in these activities face a fine and imprisonment of six (6) months.
Citizens may continue to report these illegal acts to the GSPCA by calling 226-4237 or by making a report at the nearest police station.

Yours faithfully,
The Executive Committee
of the Guyana Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
Oliver Insanally, Hon. President
Jennifer Falconer-Majeed, Hon. Vice President
Shiromanie Isaacs, Hon. Secretary
Dominique Ahmad. Hon. Treasurer
