An initiative to not promote bloodsports

[acroman08]

Yeah but the difference is people don't die in MMA, because if they did, it might not be around anymore.

When Nutildah says "people don't die in MMA" he means people do not get purposely killed in MMA unlike in cockfighting where one of the chickens is almost certain to die or sometimes both of the chickens die because of severe injury. so sorry but accidental death and almost certain death in every fight are not the same.

If the sport is banned in that multitude of states then it means there is something wrong somewhere, at first hearing Cockfighting took my mind somewhere i wouldn't mention.

After reading the article about cockfighting might just the usual animals we kill ourselves for consumptions but the bad side is what transpires during the process, i wonder if it's all about the fun again, there are sports to get involved with even the usual Boxing if they love sports about throwing punches and messing with opponents. The only difference between Boxing and cockfighting is allowing the animal to use sharpened tools to inflict danger on the opponent but comparing both sports, blood sheds and serious injuries happens including those did on purpose or some times unintentional.

Is human blood and bloodsports not a problem for you OP?
I dont watch or support cockfighting and I dont know how legal that is in other countries worldwide, but we already have bloodsports with humans.
We have MMA or mixed martial arts with UFC as leader that can be very bloody sometimes, same as Muay Thai and other combat sports, but they are legal in most countries.

There is a huge different between MMA and cockfighting. In MMA, humans intentionally train and fight, both of them knowing risks and outcomes, it's a profession for them, a typical job and also, there are coaches to not let them kill each other and there are also doctors to help them in case something bad happens. But in case of cockfighting and similar animal bloodsports like dogfighting and others, these animals fight against their own will and they usually end up dead in fight or get a terrible injury.

So long as there isn't either it seems to me like the forum tolerated profit being made on animal fightst.

Forum doesn't profit from animal fights. It's legal in some countries and offered by legal, licensed casinos. I think that there aren't many cockfight threads, there are only a few and even all of them are very inactive, so it doesn't attract much attention for forum owner to care about it. It's just my opinion

Everything is wrong about that sport. You can't force animals to fight and possibly die in the game only for your own entertainment or maybe for money. It's unethical.

No, combat sports where humans are involved are sports where people participate by their will and they aren't forced to it. If you don't like getting hurt or facing someone in a one-on-one battle, you don't get into boxing or other combat sports, but if you do it, you are doing it on your own, and you know that whatever happens, it's all your responsibility. In cockfighting or any other animal combat sports, the animals are trained and forced to fight. Cocks, in general, aren't aggressive by their nature, but they are trained to be that way.
