Is Cockfighting a Religiously Protected Activity?

Not according to a Louisiana federal district court.  The pastor of the Holy Fight Ministries argued that this activity was an essential part of their religious faith and practice, and so a ban on cockfighting violated its religious freedom.  The court ruled that the law applies generally to protect animals, so it is not a violation of religious freedom.
