The severity of harm to chickens from cockfighting taking place in Okinawa was reported previously, but this has not been resolved yet.
Cockhouse that protects the chickens submits a petition to create a regulation in Okinawa Prefecture that bans cockfighting, and reexamination will take place in July.
Even without examination, cockfighting is cruel, causes many illegal activities, and also causes uncertainty in confidence in Okinawa Prefectural police and Okinawa Prefectural government who can not control these crimes altogether.
ARCJ has launched a signature campaign with Cockhouse. This will not be a formal petition because the signatures are on the Internet, but we believe that delivering voices from around the country to Okinawa Governors and Okinawa Prefectural Assembly Representatives will help eliminate violence against the weak.
As Congress meeting is approaching, we will submit immediately at the end of the month.
