  James Tally, president of the Oklahoma breeder's group, said voters in 57 of the state's 77 counties voted against banning the blood sport in November 2002.
  ...
  Tally, who raises gamecocks, said the ban has hurt breeders and communities where breeders operate. Tally said gamefowl breeders spent an estimated $100 million in Oklahoma in 1999.

  James Tally, president of the Oklahoma Game Fowl Breeders Association, said he doesn't expect the new law will affect breeders much.
  ...
  Tally said the law will be difficult to enforce because officials must prove that the bird's owner is transporting it to fight, the only circumstance under which transport is illegal.
  
  "If you're shipping and hauling one and you get stopped, who's going to decide what you're shipping it for?"he asked.

  James Tally, president of the Oklahoma Game Fowl Breeders Association, said cockfighters are mischaracterized as animal abusers. "It's hard for people to understand that a less cruel way of life for these roosters is the way we raise them and take care of them," said Tally, a railroad worker from Kingston.

  Note the quote by James Tally, in which he says that some roosters are as valuable as a calf.
  ...
  "You can turn a hen loose with baby chickens and a hawk will get every one of them," said James Tally, who has about 350 fowl in Cartwright. "We just hope they're out getting field mice."
  
  Even older roosters, usually tethered by a leg so they can move in 14-foot perimeters, are sometimes attacked. Each rooster has its own house, but spends much of the day unprotected.
  
  Tally, president of the Oklahoma Game Fowl Breeders Association, said he has used a strobe light at night to keep owls away from his birds. Other breeders hang flashing red or orange lights, or put plastic shopping bags in trees.
  
  Breeders also can apply for permits to use non-lethal, padded traps, then call game wardens to remove the predatory birds. Problem is, they often fly right back, Tally said.
  
  Tally said he doesn't use traps and is surprised that 31 breeders were caught with them. Still, he wishes the Wildlife Service would help breeders keep predatory birds away from their fowl instead of going after cockfighters.
  
  "It is a little unfair that you cannot protect your own property," he said.
