Stop the violence

Home Pa‘ahana Le‘amohala

A huge mahalo to you for giving the community an opportunity to voice itself on the cockfighting issue. Slavery is ugly. Why? Because it denied specific people of their God-given right to pursue their own happiness. Sexism is ugly. Why? Because it denied women of their God-given right to determine their own destiny. Racism, homophobia, religious intolerance, bigotry, oppression, exploitation are ugly. Why? Because those who practice them separate themselves from a vital part of their own existence. Speciesism is ugly. Anytime any individual or group places another as less deserving of happiness than themselves, they diminish the potential for world peace for everyone else. Relinquish the practice of cockfighting and discover a world of peace you never knew existed. Maluhia.
