Answers:
Actually, 36-46-3-8 prohibits owning a fighting animal "for the purpose of using the animal in an animal fighting contest".
Also, "In March 2002, Indiana passed legislation-Senate Bill 366--strengthening the state's anti-cockfighting law. The new law on Animal Fighting Contests makes possession of animal fighting paraphernalia, including knives and gaffs that are strapped to a rooster's legs for a cockfight, with intent to participate in an animal fighting contest a Class B misdemeanor. The law makes it a Class D felony for a person to possess animal fighting paraphernalia with intent to participate in an animal fighting contest, and to harbor an animal bearing scars or wounds consistent with participation in an animal fighting contest. The law allows a court to order a person to refrain from owning, harboring, or training an animal as a condition of probation." (http://www.upc-online.org/cockfighting/t... )
It is illegal to possess fighting animals. IC 36-46-3-8
