\t\t\t\t\"\"<\/a>\nThe new, well-intentioned change in the permit law to own chickens and goats for Denver residents has some bad, unintended consequences. There is a loophole that people have found which will allow them to have cock fights in their yards, provided they have the appropriate permit. Entrepreneurial Stapleton resident Keith Carman was the first to the punch. \u201cI have always been fascinated with animal fights,\u201d says Keith Carman. \u201cI watched a lot of discovery channel growing up, and with the down economy, and my recent layoff, this has allowed me to follow my passion.\u201d\nSome neighbors near his home on 33rd and Beeler are not excited about the new, thriving business. \u201cI think it is extremely inhumane,\u201d says neighbor Sarah Fogdall. The permit was meant to bring fresh, organic foods to ones home, and this is just outrageous.\u201d Unfortunately for those opposed, the law will stand as is for at least two years before it is allowed to come to a vote again.\nAlthough \u201cCarman\u2019s Cage\u201d is bringing in mostly Aurora residents, some Stapletonians appreciate cocks. \u201cI\u2019ve always had a fascination with cocks,\u201d says Zack Geary. \u201cEver since I was young, I thought cocks were quite impressive.\u201d\u00a0 Chris Zarrifis agrees. \u201cWhat\u2019s wrong with going to some guys house and watching a bunch of cocks? I just don\u2019t see what the big deal is.\u201d\nIt is too early to tell if the cocks will have an impact on the economy, however, it is predicted that cock-fighting \u201carenas\u201d will outnumber medicinal marijuana businesses by next April.]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
