    #1 [D] LYNN DECOITE CAN NO LONGER ATTEND ANIMAL TORTURE
    LACED GAMBLING / COCKFIGHTING.

    #2 [D] LYNN DECOITE CAN NO LONGER SPEND HOURS SHARPENING
    HER COLLECTION OF COCK SPURS.

    #3 [D] LYNN DECOITE LIKELY LOVES TO WATCH GLADIATOR MOVIES
    AND BULL FIGHTING EVENTS. BULL BAITING IS ANOTHER
    BLOOD LUST EVENT THAT [D] LYNN DECOITE IS NOW
    RELEGATED TO -- TO SATISFY HER BLOOD LUST AND
    WANTON CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.

    #4 [D] LYNN DECOITE CAN ONLY WONDER WHY THERE IS NO
    LARGE SCALE EGG PRODUCTION IN MAUI COUNTY,
    FOOD FOR THE MASSES . . . WHILE HER FILIPINO "culture"
    OF ANIMAL CRUELTY / TORTURE IS ENGAGED IN ONLY
    RAISING MALE CHICKENS / COCKS. RARELY TO FIND ANY
    LOCAL EGG PRODUCTION, RATHER ONLY COCKS AND
    THE MEN (gay) WHO ARE ONLY INTO COCKS.

    #5 [D] LYNN DECOITE KNOWS FOR A FACT THAT COCK-FIGHTING
    WAS NEVER A NATIVE HAWAIIAN / KANAKA MAOLI
    CULTURAL ACTIVITY. RATHER IT COMES FROM THE
    LATINO (Philippines / Mexico / Puerto Rico, Etc.) COUNTRIES
    WHERE ANIMAL TORTURE AND 'GAMES' ORIGINATE.
    GLADIATORIAL GAMES / BULL FIGHTING / EVIL FUCKER
    LATINOS IN A COLISEUM WATCHING BLOODY EVENTS.

    #6 INTERESTING THAT MOST OF MY DETRACTORS WITH EVIL
    COMMENTS, COME FROM THOSE COCK RAISING SO-CALLED
    "hawaiians" WHO ARE INTO COCK (gay), WITH NOT ONE
    HEN TO BE FOUND AMONGST THEIR COLLECTIONS OF COCKS.

    THERE IS NOTHING MORE "gay" THAN MEN INTO COCKS, TORTURE.

    #7 [D] LYNN DECOITE KNOWS FOR A FACT THAT COCK-FIGHTING GOES
    HAND IN HAND WITH DOMESTIC VIOLENCE . . . ILLEGAL GAMBLING,
    ILLEGAL DRUG TRADE (meth).

    #8 BOO HOO HOO . . . [D] LYNN DECOITE CAN NO LONGER ATTEND AND
    SUPPORT COCK-FIGHTING (filipino latin "culture") PUBLICLY.
    COCK-FIGHTING IS A SICK BLOOD LUST EVENT / GAMBLING,
    WITH INDIVIDUALS, MAINLY MALE, WHO HAVE NOT THE INTELLIGENCE
    TO PLAY WITH PLAYING CARDS . . . RATHER DESCEND INTO ANIMAL
    CRUELTY TO GET THEIR KICKS . . . THEY REALLY GET INTO IT, THE
    BLOOD LUST AND TOTAL DISREGARD FOR ANIMALS.

    #9 [D] LYNN DECOITE CAN MAYBE SPEND MORE TIME ON LEGISLATION
    RATHER THAN SPENDING HER TIME SHARPENING HER TOTALLY
    UN-NATURAL RAZOR SPURS / COLLECTION. TAKE THAT SHIT
    BACK TO THE PHILIPPINES.



    Appeals court affirms federal authority to ban cockfighting in US
    territories

    News Release from Animal Wellness Foundation, December 23, 2021

    The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit has affirmed a ruling of the U.S. District Court for the District of Guam that Congress has the authority
    to bar animal fighting throughout the United States, including in the territories. The case was brought by Guam-based cockfighting enthusiast
    Sedfrey Linsangan.

    “The challenges originating in Guam and Puerto Rico to the federal law banning all animal fighting have been turned back by four federal courts and also denied by the U.S. Supreme Court,” noted Wayne Pacelle, president of Animal Wellness Action, which filed pleadings in these cases as an amicus curiae participant. “This ruling comes just days before illegal cockfighting derbies are set to commence in Guam at The Dome in Dededo, and this latest court ruling is one more emphatic signal to the cockfighters to stop their criminal conspiracies.”

    In October 2021, U.S. Supreme Court denied a writ of certiorari from cockfighters and political leaders in Puerto Rico seeking relief from the
    same federal law that bans cockfighting there. That pleading came to the Supreme Court after two U.S. courts rejected the claims of cockfighting interests and their local political allies in Puerto Rico.

    “Linsangan’s evidence of cockfighting as a cultural practice both predating and outside of American history does not show that cockfighting is
    objectively deeply rooted in our Nation,” wrote the U.S. Court of Appeals in rejecting the plaintiff’s claims. “Various U.S. jurisdictions have restricted or prohibited animal fighting, including cockfighting, for centuries.” The Court rejected all other claims from Mr. Linsangan,
    including his First Amendment arguments.

    In December 2018, Congress passed, and the President signed, the
    Agricultural Improvement Act of 2018; that legislative package included a provision applying all federal prohibitions against animal fighting to the
    U.S. territories. Congress gave the territories a year to comply, with the prohibition taking effect on December 20, 2019. That latest amendment to the federal animal fighting law made it a felony to operate a cockfighting venue
    or to participate in animal fights. Other provisions of the federal
    anti-animal fighting law – such as prohibitions on transporting or receiving fighting birds, trading in fighting implements, or being a spectator at an animal fighting event — had already applied to the territories for years.

    Mr. Linsangan appealed the decision of U.S. District Court Judge on Guam in October 2020. “Congress has the undeniable authority to treat [the territories of the United States] uniformly to the States and eliminate live-bird fighting ventures across every United States jurisdiction,” wrote Chief District Judge Frances Tydingco-Gatewood in the October 2020 ruling. “The source of this authority rests primarily in the Commerce Clause and Supremacy Clause and alternatively in the Territorial Clause.”

    “As a legal jurisdiction of the United States, Guam cannot whimsically opt-out of U.S. laws that forbid animal cruelty,” added Pacelle. “The Congress has determined that cockfighting is barbaric and inhumane and the federal courts have said the U.S. has the authority to take this action.
    Case closed.”

    Animal Wellness Action, the Animal Wellness Foundation, and the Center for a Humane Economy have participated as a friend of the court (amicus curiae) on the side of the United States in all challenges to the 2018 U.S. law banning cockfighting.
