Hopefully, I am not overreacting by simply stating again that such pictures are inappropriate to this site. I won't be insulted if you disagree, but that's my feeling.
I agree with this as well.

Scrappy,
We are not talking about child porn here. This is a picture of an event that in some jurisdictions was and still is legal in parts of the country. If Cockfighting is illegal now, it certainly was not always illegal. It is a picture to make a joke. Next thing you are going to tell me if someone shows a picture of someone smoking a cigarette is inappropriate if the person smoking is in a bar. In my state and in many others this activity would be illegal right now, but a few months ago was completely legal.
All I am saying this is a picture. It is a picture that is making a joke. And considering all the other pictures I have found much more objectionable here this does not show anything other than a possible "illegal activity." I know it was legal at one time in a certain state in the south because a famous boxer was involved in an interview.
Peace
