St. Maarten Private Eye

This subject is like kicking a dead horse. Don't hold your breath about anything being done because, like I argued before here on SXMPE, there are just some things on SXM you should just let go. This is such an issue. Too many people, including "higher-ups", has a vested interest in it. At the Carnval Village the singer stayed on stage a long time with the fighting cocks fighting, almost his whole song. Much to the delight and loud cheers of the people in attendance including the police who stood and loved the show. Me too. I liked the performance. I had no issue with it at all. It's cockfighting, so what. I admire posters here who wants to champion every single issue that comes up, but you are completely naive if you think cockfighting will cease to exist based on the intervening actions of the powers that be. Cock-fighting MIGHT end over time, its dying out as the older generations are dying out. It will probably die a natural death. But keep dreaming if you think the law will step up and stop it. It's simply not an important issue.
