As noted this morning, according to the Associated Press, a video of Pedro Martinez and Hall of Famer Juan Marichal taking part in a cockfight in the Dominican Republic was posted and then quickly taken off of YouTube last night.
The report writes, “Cockfighting is both legal and popular in the Dominican Republic.”
Naturally, PETA has issued a letter to Martinez, c/o Shea Stadium.
To download the letter, go to TMZ.com.
…the word from Shea Stadium is that the video is actually from three years ago…the thing is, i’m not so sure about that…i mean, wasn’t pedro rocking the jerk curl back then…in the video, from what i recall seeing, his hair is really short…anyway…yesterday it was celebrating Johan Santana…today it’s PETA, cockfights and jeri curls…unreal…only at shea…

what the hell do you mean by ‘taking part in a cockfight’……sounds different than ‘attending a cockfight’…
I really like Petas. They taste great and are many times less calories than regular bread,
They are especially good when they are made with many different kinds of meat… mmmmmm.
the pic in the post shows him throwing out the cock. I’d call that “taking part in”.
Oh man… not PETA. They are the looney tunes…
However, I would welcome any hot PETA member to come to Shea and protest Pedro by taking off their clothes. I don’t agree with their message, but I’m totally ok with their methods.
I guess peta did not mention that since 1998 they have received 17,806 animals and killed 14,419 of them.
what exactly do you mean by that?
Man i love this ny media bias, just after evey1 is feeling so high and giddy bout santana they finally talk about it, even though its been on youtube for about a week
he was swordfighting? oh well, its not like hes mike vick.
At least he wasn’t crossing swords with Johnny Drama. Oh, wait…roosters?
The worst part of this entire story is that Petey appears to be starting the year 0-1. I knew we should have led off with Johan.
he took part in this to get to meet pam anderson
Supposedly, the video shows them releasing the roosters as honorary “soltadores;” the rooster Pedro releases fights to its apparent death.
As to its being legal, well… so is consensual sexual activity between adults involving voluntary strangulation; that said, having sex with someone who’s got a plastic bag over your head while in public/in front of cameras when you’ve got “Professional baseball player” at the top of your resume is probably a bad idea.
It occurs to me that this is a very strange thing to have come into your mind…. paging Phil….. paging Dr. Phil…..
dr. phil got divorced and he should never EVER say anything to anyone regarding anything! what a tool he is!
I fan a friend at work who is Puerto Rican, (and no I don’t work at home Depot) and in many parts Latin America Cock Fighting is Legal and considered a Noble Sport.
We run into this funny gray area, who has more rights or politically correct. Protecting Animals doomed for dinner or the traditions of peoples heritage???
Pete Should know that this sort of thing would = Bad Press, I don’t really approve of any animal fighting, but we slaughter animals every day for food and sport, so who are we to judge…
I am all for animal rights, and as I said in a previous post:
In the Dominican Republic, cockfighting is huge. These animals are treated quite well as they can be huge money makers and the people are very prideful when it comes to this. These roosters are not living in conditions like the chickens we eat on a daily basis. In my eyes, it’s all inhumane and I can’t really see a difference.
Are you kidding me “OhJay” with the Puerto Rican racism? Matt, I think these are the comments you spoke about banning before…I’m not sure we need this type of blatant stereotyping anywhere; especially not from fans of a culturally diverse team like the Mets.
Don’t worry fellas, the only cockfighting I’ll be doing is .. well, ya know..
I was waiting for someone to make that joke…
I’m frankly surprised there haven’t been a thousand more.
this will probably get more play on espn and espn.com that the santana press conference did…it does suck that we cant have a period to enjoy getting johann because of something that has nothing to do with baseball like this….
Personally, I think cockfighting is effed up, but I also acknowledge that Pedro’s culture accepts it as legal and as a sport. Its kind of hard to reconcile both viewpoints, but for now I really don’t care. If he pulled some nasty Vick stunt then I would be calling for his head…plus, I hate chickens.
wouldn’t the chickens just be hung and dropped into electric water in a few weeks anyways?
Its hard to argue against animal cruelty when most us eat meat or poultry when you take into consideration that the meat industry is one the filthiest and cruel around…which is kind of why I don’t care. But at the same time Pedro just went down a notch…its a classless activity to partake in when you are one of the faces of a pro sport irregardless of whether it was legal or not….
I’m just going to stay confused on this one until more information comes out and I’m forced to deal with it.
I like my chicken fried. I really like Chik-fil-A. Great sandwiches, fries, and sweet tea. How come the world has stopped at cock fighting? Why not cow fighting or swine fighting? I think if you get these animals in the ring and tell them that the loser becomes a big steak or bacon, it would make for some good entertainment. And the winner gets to go free. I think Peta would be up for this. these animal are becoming my dinner anyway. If the winner has the opportunity to go free, why not. I’ve never seen a cock fight or raised chickens to fight but if I did, I’d just show them a picture of Frank Perdue and tell them to win or else. Man, I can’t wait until the games (baseball, not cock fighting) actually begin …
think about it, these chickens are basically “manufactured” and live in entirely overcrowded cages and they stay in some factory for about 6 months. then they are brutally murdered and sold off somewhere. I can see how dogfighting is bad since it is usually a stolen dog from someones family, and they could be a major part of someones family, but being a cockfighting chicken is probably much better than their lives to be meat poultry. they are usually loved much by their owner (think Kramer jk) and are fed well. They also go down fighting and have a chance to survive its not like the chicken in the meat industry who are sent to get hung then electrocuted. this will be an absolute abomination if Peta comes to the mets games and stalks Pedro like they stalked Mike Vick
In dog fighting, the dog’s are very seldom stolen dogs from happy families. They are usually dogs from certain breeds that are bred and trained to fight, and then they are destroyed when they outlive their profitability.
You can’t just say it’s OK for one species to be treated this way and not the other just because you like dogs more than chickens.
How do you think the animals are treated when being trained for a cockfight? You think their owners are asking them nicely to rip their opponents apart?
cocks are roosters guys. i never ate rooster
U HAVE EATEN COCK THO! OH DAMN
dude
I have a pet rooster. In fact, just yesterday he ran from Newman’s apartment to my apartment in under 30 seconds.
I don’t care who Marcelo flies in from South America, my rooster will prevail.
Exactly… Every nation has different laws and customs. To each his own .. What may be considered unethical here isn’t the gold standard for all global morals. I hope this story dies.
just because it is legal in another country does not make it okay. it is barbaric for grown men to sit around watching two roosters fight to the death. this is not sport. it does not matter whether it is legal or not.
I wonder if Little Jerry was on the undercard.
Pedro’s chicken WAS Little Jerry! Kramer saved him from Marcel’s ringer, only to have him be killed by Juan Marichel’s chicken.
Just shows that you should make sure there are no cameras when you take out your…
Anyway, I think this will just blow over, it’s not the same as dogfighting, and, agree with it or not, it’s legal there.
Yeah, it’s totally different from the Vick situation. In Pedro’s case, he basically “threw out the first pitch”, so to speak. Whereas Vick was actively involved in a dog fighting organization (including killing them).
My guess is, once the Clemens story heats up, we won’t be hearing about this too much.
how is it morally different from dogfighting?
Cock fighting a dispicable. But if it is legal in the country he was in this is a moot issue. A lot of cultures have cultural habits that are not cool (e.g. female genital mutilation), but it is not our place to judge a ball player on his ethics when it does not break any laws where he was at.
Do I think Pedro should attend? No. Am I going to loose any respect for him as a pitcher? No.
I d have a bone to pick with the language. How was Pedro “participating”. Was he betting? Was he watching? Was he attending? Was he tormenting the cock so it fights more aggressively? I thinkthis article owes readers more information especially since we can no longer watch the video ourselves on U-tube.
OK Dude – you owe me a new keyboard. I just lost a mouthful of G2 laughing at the “Was he tormenting the cock” question….. unbelievable…..
Thanks!
Apearently he relased the cock in an honorary celebrity position.
i dont wanna watch…..
Or “taking part” in a cock fight makes it sound like Pedro was in the ring with the rooster. Did he get to throw a baseball at its head?
no kalihan, taking part in a cock fight makes it sound like something so unbelievably dirty I cannot contain my dire needs to excrete white stuff oh my god I GOT A BONER!
It’s legal in the DR and a very popular sport. It’s apparently a huge part of their culture so who are we to judge him or any culture where this is the norm?
Does the PETA episode of South Park come to mind for anyone??????
Oh please don’t throw Pedro in jail and stop selling his jerseys and take away his bonuses!! (Just kidding, I swear!)
Off-Topic and all that good stuff, but hey, I heard something on Curt Schilling having a bad shoulder and the Sawks trying to void his contract, true?
“They are given steroids and amphetamines to make them stronger, more aggressive killing machines.” This was part of the letter from PETA to Pedro. Cock Fighting sounds a lot like baseball and football to me!
I don’t like it at all, but we have to understand it’s a slightly different culture over there.
Off topic though this relates to birds…any of you ever seen that video of Mike Tyson and his pigeons? That guy had what seems like hundreds of pigeons. I wonder if he raised them to box? Also, how come PETA is not up in arms about MMA? Humans can get into an octagon and beat themselves silly but when a stupid chicken does it, it’s a big deal.
I did hear that Mike Tyson fights his pigeons … never seen proof but heard about that.
As far as humans and boxing, humans choose to do it themselves … and its not to the death. A little different.
I think the cock fighting is disgusting, and I can’t understand how anyone would get joy from it, but comparing it to humans boxing is a little different.
Aside from that, anyone who eats meat shouldn’t really say much … as a lot of others have stated on here. It’s purely hypocritical.
Let the hypocrisy begin… people in the media will kill Pedro for attending a cockfight, while conveniently forgetting that bullfighting and rodeo are equally as inhumane, and both very popular here in the US (moreso rodeo than bullfighting).
Along the same note…American-born (white) MLB players are notorious for going hunting–as in killing animals for sport–during the off-season (not sure why, guess that’s what happens when your off-season is over the winter). Remember that good ‘ole Turk Wendell used to wear a necklace made of animal claws–from animals that he killed–on the mound. Yet nobody ever complained that this was gruesome. When white people harm animals, either through hunting, rodeo, or wearing expensive fur coats, they are considered acceptable practices. But when other ethnic groups harm animals in ways they deem acceptable, its inhumane.
FYI–The above is not meant to imply PETA is biased, because they consider all the above practices equally offensive. Of course they will have no problem taking advantage of biases in teh generla population to get some media attention based on an event like this.
Exactly.
One thing is for sure that PETA will not rest until Pedro addresses the situation. From what I know about PETA it will be in his best interest to appease them.
when did bullfighting become legal here?
You know, bullfighting is a big sport over in Spain. If DWright went to attend one of those events, would he get ostracized over this too?
I think we need to condemn other people’s cultures a little less, and be a little bit more openminded about what is acceptable or unacceptable to people.
so what…
I’ve seen videos of Paris Hilton smoking weed, in this country!
now If only pedro was wearing tight revealing clothing maybe Peta would look the other way.
The “was he tormenting the cock” question aside (alomst made it a second keyboard!), it’s a different culture. Having said that, there’s some things about virtually every culture that are what we would call despicable and disgusting.
Hey, I deer hunt. I’m fairly successful at it, too (about one every three years). I like being in the woods in the fall, and I like eating venison. I also am really amped up about getting Johan. Hopefully, I’ll be listening to the Mets in the WS while I’m at deer camp this fall.
If it’s legal in the DR, then I’m alright on it. Michael Vick was indulging in an activity that’s illegal in the juristiction he was in at the time (the USA), so he’s got to pay the piper.
And, yes, if a PETA hottie came to Shea and did one of the “naked protests,” I’d love to be there.
I guess peta did not mention that since 1998 they have received 17,806 animals and killed 14,419 of them.

You know what would be the best? If, when Pedro comes up to bat at Shea next year, he uses “Four Kicks” by Kings of Leon as his walkup music.
Jake Peavy and Roy Oswalt hunt. Santana has probably been to bullfights. This is nothing different.
I believe Billy Wagner and Ryan Church do as well, if you’re talking about the Mets alone.
*They both go hunting, I mean.
Huh?
Going hunting is not different than throwing two animals who have been trained to rip each other apart into a pen and watching what happens?
That’s a warped statement.
Actually, no, I hunt myself. Sorry if that came across poorly. What I meant to do was give support to MLB ballplayers who DO hunt, and point out that we have two on our own team for those people opposed to hunting/thinking ballplayers who hunt are monsters.
Oh man, they sent a letter to Pedro?
I guess PETA better go after the entire country. Every single Dominican is in trouuuuuuble.
I better hide my grandfather as well, PETA is after him.
Matt, although I love how you tell us mets news like nothing else, Id venture to guess 50 percent or more of the people who read this site did not know about this before you said it. This shoudln’t be a story anyways and by you making posts about it it will become even more popular.
Sure, now PETA takes action. Where were they last week when Eli and Peyton Manning were eating Double Stuffed Orioles?
Eh, whatever. Cockfighting doesn’t bother me, and it’s legal in Pedro’s home Dominican Republic, so PETA can go shove it up its you-know-what.
I almost want to say “Good for Pedro” because PETA is on my SH*T list because of their stance on fois gras. For Crissakes, pick on the huge factory farming industry that really does some serious damage.
What serious damage do they do?
They feed the masses. They raise the livestock, and slaughter it, so that it can be fed the the world’s population.
Is it a very pleasant thing to think about? No. But unless you are suggesting that every single person in the world become a vegan, what would you do to change the industry?
Mmmmmmm, fois gras!!!
BTW, if PETA was so concerned, they should have proofread the first paragraph of their stupid letter:
As many of PETA’s 1.8 million members and supporters are baseball fans, we at were disheartened to learn of a video showing you and Hall of Famer Juan Marichal taking part in a cockfight as honorary soltadores.
WE AT WERE DISHEARTENED??? They’re all a bunch of cranky vegans!!!
Look, without me getting into my own personal beliefs too much about this, since this is supposed to be a Mets baseball site, I’ll just say that PETA has a lot of clout, they have a point about cockfighting being cruel, but MOST OF ALL – GAMBLING! Baseball and Gambling! Pedro has put himself in an awkward position, because if he apologizes he looks like a wus to his countrymen and their cultural activities, but he needs to because it’s hard to pretend that this isn’t cruel and certainly it’s a gambling environment – a bit different than Vegas, I guess or the horse track. Maybe I’m wrong, but it seems like a very very quick apology would be the way to quickly do the damage control and get it behind him.
I don’t think there is legitimate gambling concern here. He was gambling in a legal environment (assuming he even gambled on cock fighting) and he did not bet on baseball. This shouldn’t be an issue.
This should not be an issue?
If that’s the case, I demand the immediate release of Michael Vick. In your scenario he’s falsely imprisoned.
There most certainly is an issue here, but it’s not gambling.
Ummm, dogfighting is illegal in US. Cockfighting is not illegal in the DR.
That is the difference.
The fact that it is legal doesn’t make it right.
But at least, for all of its flaws, the American justice system has the common sense to make certain things against the law.
In America we do not arrest or indict people based off of Morality when no law is broken. What Pedro did may very well be morally reprehensible. What Vick did was both morally reprehesible and illegal.
What do you want to do arrest him on some Pariot act provision? Hold him in guantanemo (sp.?) for something that is not llegal here?
This is such a non issue once you get to the part about it not being illegal in the Dominican Republic. You can hate what he did all you want, but legally he broke no laws. End of story. From there, it’s a moral issue, and that’s a personal problem you, and only you, have to come to grips with.
Yeah, except it is not a non-issue at all.
Poor Jeff Wilpon has been spending all day using White Out to erase all mention of the 7th Inning Cockfight Stretch from the upcoming advertising flyers for the 2008 Last Ever Merengue Night at Shea.
Damn you, PETA! Now they have to fall back on plan B: Charo throwing out the first ball.
Charo…
That’s funny. You may have just dated yourself.
It doesn’t matter if you think taking part in cockfighting is “OK” or not just because it’s socially acceptable in another culture. Raising any animal for the sole purpose of making it fight is wrong. Chicken, dog, aardvark…it’s just wrong.
Assuming that this video is relatively recent and not from three years ago, Pedro allowing himself to be caught in this situation on the heels of the Mike Vick thing is idiotic on his part.
It’s one thing to eat an animal. It’s the “Circle of Life” as they say. Making animals fight one another is disgusting. I don’t care what the animals are.
I’ll worry about it when I start seeing dogs in the frozen food section.
Excellent post.
Additionally many people here had plenty to say when LMillz made a rap video and how badly it reflected on him and the team. I view this the same way. Neither did anything illegal but instead did something many people would find objectionable. LMillz was an immature kid . Pedro should know better. And as the previous poster stated, especially in light of the Vick thing.
For all of you who are critical of Pedro, I ask that you do some research and find out how the chickens (or veal) that you eat are raised and treated. Do it. Go on an uncensored tour of a Perdue plant or regular farm and tell me how civilized you think it is. And then explain to us how it is that you can eat chicken or veal without the same moral criticisms that you so easily bestow upon others.
I think the difference is one is for sport and entertainment and the other is for feeding people. That makes the former rather tasteless by comparison.
But, I understand your point.
How would you do it any differently?
I have done some of the research that you speak of, and while I will admit that it is not one of the most pleasant experiences in a person’s life, I would ask how that industry could be changed?
The livestock is raised to be eaten. It isn’t captured from the wild and treated this way. Would it be more humane to lop off a chicken’s head than to electrify it? Would you be happy with the increase in price of your beef and pork if the slaughterhouses had to use live ammunition to put down the livestock?
And how does any of this even have anything to do with raising an animal for the sole purpose of throwing into a coup with another so that people can watch them fight to the death for entertainment?
As I wrote, I don’t really want to get into a whole discussion about the treatment of animals here, but since it is being discussed anyway, I will mention that I finally after decades of wanting to, became a vegetarian 12 years ago, partly for moral reasons. I’ll just leave it at, because of this, I don’t have to try and figure out the difference between cock fighting and Perdue factories for instance, because to me, it’s all wrong. I’m not gonna preach to everyone here about it, so please don’t get on me for just stating what I believe.
Where did I get on you?
All I am saying is that to me, this is more of just a legal issue. Maybe you agree, maybe you don’t. Whatever. If you are a vegatarian, good for you. I applaud your willingness to go the distance to uphold your moral values.
I asked it earlier, how can the livestock industry be changed? I mean, there are certainly more meat-eaters in the world than there are vegetarians. What is the most humane way to slaughter an animal who has been bred to be consumed? I would venture to guess that you don’t think the best way is to throw a couple of angry roosters into a pen and let them rip each other apart for the entertainment of a bunch of people who have nothing better to do with their time.
My personal opinion is that this has nothing to do with legality at all. It’s common sense. Normal people don’t enjoy watching animals suffer. I don’t care if it’s in the US, the Dominican Republic, or Jerkoffistan…watching the suffering of animals for the entertainment value makes you a budding sociopath.
If we’re not supposed to eat animals, why are they made out of meat?
People do realize that cock-fighting was legal in Alabama until like 6 months ago? It’s also certainly not something that never happens in the U.S. either, despite being illegal. Moral stances mean little here, why do we always rush to judge our sports figures? These should be our heroes, they don’t stand for anything, they play a game that we enjoy watching, let it end there. If they do something illegal, punish them, if they cheat the game, punish them, fair is fair, but making moral judgements on someone who plays a sport and you don’t even know is useless. We all love Keith Hernandez, but would you want your kids following his example and getting high on cocaine? C’mon people, be consistent or just don’t worry about this kind of stuff.
yeah, that shouldn’t say “these should be our heroes,” should say, these SHOULDN’T be our heroes, they’re baseball players.
let’s be honest here
roosters are just meat with useless wings and annoying morning habits
pedro needs to go back to his jeri curl…. it will bring his mojo back. 15+ wins for him easy with the curl.
i can’t wait for the season to start!!
Cockfighting is big in many lands including South America, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, the Philippines, Spain, and many other countries. The sport is not “despicable,” despite the Post’s usage of that word. I however would not be part of that sport. PETA is just absolutely crazy. I mean I support their idea of treating animals with great care but a life without meat, fish, poultry, or any other animal is itself unethical. I mean what do you expect will happen with those animals? They will obviously overpopulate the earth. I think animals should have some rights, like the right for me to eat them.
Before posting on this thread, I took a few minutes to research what happens to cockfighting roosters. I would ask you to do the same, and then have you come back and explain how you think it is not a “despicable” act.
Don’t worry, I use to watch cock fighting live on a weekly basis. It was a tradition of my family. I would watch how they were trained, from the beginning of their livlihood. But I did not really become fond of it the same as my ancestors did.
But the way the chickens are killed in a KFC, McDonalds, and other fast food chains in America are so much worse. I know that.
I won’t condone animal cruelty, but their are many despicable acts in this world and I would care about a human life before I care about an animals.
PETA – People Eating Tasty Animals
Enough Said.
Amen! It is wrong to treat animals like that no questionn,
but there is a lot worse going on around the world than cockfighting. Most of it you never see on Youtube.
People are starving all over the world and hardly see that on the 11 o’clock news.
Brilliant post
dog fighting makes me sick, but chickens????
we slaughter and eat them normally
this is a non issue
…. if pedo wins 15 games i dont really care if he fights cocks
Can’t wait to see all the peta nuts protesting at shea this year. Leave your leather jackets at home!
i feel like peta members are so fanatical that they’re against lions hunting in the wild, ooohh, that poor zebra! They’re ridiculous and make the fight for animal rights sensationalized, irrational, and pushed to the side because of how fanatical they are. I truly think they do a disservice to something that DOES hold weight with many of us. However, while I think cockfighting is kind of gruesome, it’s hard to see how this can be so bothersome to some people when you consider the manner in which the chickens we eat live and die.
It’s an ugly “sport”. What else is there to say?
I like to eat chicken after a long cockfight. It helps to replenish the energy spent from a hard days work.
I also plan to watch Pedro pitch after a cockfight while eating Hooters buffalo wings with bleu cheese!
peta is entitled to exercise their free speech to protect animals. they’re extreme because it works to get attention (whether agree or disagree with them). cockfighting is pretty pathetic.
video of pedro cockfight:
link.brightcove.com/services/link/bcpid285859616/bclid294430730/bctid1407950658
Free speech, yes, but PETA goes further than that, they trespass, they destroy private property, they assault by throwing red paint on people.
I never thought I’d see a PETA thread on Metsblog….it must be February. C’mon spring training!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyone want to bet money that if Pedro doesn’t speak up there will be PETA protesters? Those people need a life… and a hobby. Seriously – cockfighting is legal in DR and he was not gambling. This was purely him and Marichal being at a cockfight watching. Not betting… All they did was throw two roosters and whether they are pumped on steroids or whatever, people have the right to enjoy themselves much the same way there is underground dog fights. If you think Bad Newz Kennelz was something major, man… I’m sure there are more people who took notice and are making their business as tight as possible so as not to allow anyone to infiltrate their business.
PETA – F.U.!! I have no plans to go vegetarian! Organic yes… but I am not going to be a damn vegan!!
After reading all the posts (some of them were hysterical, especially the Seinfeld references), I felt it necessary to reply to each point:
Cock Fighting:
Although I personally find it tasteless, it is absolutely no different than bull fighting in Spain, which I also find tasteless. I am not a fan of hunting & fishing as a sport as well…………but if Cock fighting is legal in the DR, this is a non-issue:
Comparisons to Vick:
Dog fighting is illegal in the US – not even on the same level. Unfortunately, Cock Fighting is part of the culture there
Pedro’s Judgment:
What do you expect from a guy that carried around a midget (Nelson Delarosa) on his shoulders – in the SOX clubhouse??
Poultry & Meat industry:
I enjoy my meat – which is why I don’t visit the farms & slaughter houses – I don’t feel the need to watch them gut an animal – this has nothing to do with cock fighting – silly to compare……….one is a vicious fight to the death, the other is Cock Fighting…………just kidding
Bottom Line:
Although I personally don’t like it, Rooster fighting is not illegal in the DR and is actually a part the culture there – again similar to bull fighting in Spain. Let it GO……………Pedro should just apologize and get on with what he does best – pitch!!
Let’s get back to business – LETS GO METS!!!!
Well said sheaboy.
It is amazing in this society we can’t wait beat a person down. Any kind of amimal cruelty is wrong, Is bull fighting wrong? how come nobody talks about that. In America don’t we do things that are legal but wrong! We are so quick to judge anything. Even Clemens how the hell after 8 years does the guy have blood and needles proving that Clemens did steroids. There is nothing else to write about it is February! Can’t wait for pitchers and catchers Play Ball!
So Pedro is a fan of Cock? What’s the big deal if he enjoys watching Cocks battle?
I kind of hate the way the public gets all bent out of shape about cockfighting, dogfighting etc. Our culture is a violent one that very often treats animals pretty poorly. We eat them. Don’t get me wrong I eat meat, chicken, seafood whatever but my problem is that it seems a bit hypocritical for folks to feel moral outrage at Pedro for watching an event where animals (that Americans and people the world over eat thousands of everyday) hurt each other. I guarantee there is someone at a Chick-Fil-A right now looking at a paper shaking their head in disgust saying “My goodness how could that awful Dominican man watch those poor animals kill each other”, and the he takes a bite of his chicken sandwich. Whatever lets you sleep at night, I guess.
PETA should stick to have sex with trees imo
