Does your country knows about cock fighting betting?

[Gaff]

It's the most favorite bet for people who live in village. So, I absolutely know about this one. But, It's not legal and never legal as it uses animal to fight. I think what made this illegal is not because animal violence but because people bet on it. However, people still sometimes conduct this game secretly.

It would never be legal unless it's registered on the government regulation. Once the operation of the cockfighting will be done secretly, it's always an illegal act if it wasn't taxable by them. In some asian countries, this type of sportsbetting has been practiced by hobbyist as form of their entertainment. This wasn't a new story to hear, government is more aware of this type of activities in the community.

Cock fighting is also popular here in our country especially in the rural area. I remember when my father is still alive he used to own a few rooster that he bought from his friend and train them until they grew up. My mother often scold him for attaching too much himself on his hobby and forgot his responsibilty as the provider of the family.

Well its entertaining to bet but there must be a limit. I know plenty of people betting on cock fighting but there's no one who became rich because of gambling.

I'm not really have fun in gambling cock fighting cause I don't like noisy place or something getting into troubles cause it mostly happens in our place.
It sometimes happens during fiestas or some big occasion in Rural areas.
There is also some promotions for a big fight participated by known cock fighting players in our country and think how much they could possibly win, millions? That is really big price.

Of course in all gambling activities there should be limitations imposed so that addiction will be avoided as much as possible. Cock fighting betting is also legal in our own country and some of my relatives are into cock fighting too. You can also make good profits if you end up having a brave rooster making your opponent's rooster dead.

In my country some people are asking the authorities to regulate cock fighting as a sport because many people like it and want to have the guarantee of the justice to keep promoting this kind of event without risk of being arrested or charged a fine.
On the other hand there are a lot of pression over the government to not endorse this kind of activity. An endorsement would mean a gesture of wickedness and disregard of the government about the animals.

It is difficult to believe that even in the 21st century, there are people who support such cruel forms of entertainment. I admit that it may be embedded in the local culture and the customs, but this is something that I can't condone. Times have changed and people should also change. Participating in animal cruelty just for entertainment is not compatible with the modern human ethics. If they can't completely ban it, then it should be toned down to reduce the levels of violence.

[rosezionjohn]

It is legal from where I am from and it is definitely one of the favorite "hobby" of the older guys here.

I'm not even sure what are the modern human ethics that you are talking about.
The thing here is we cannot impose our own belief on other people. 

[partysaurus]

I'm sure that cockfighting takes place in more countries than we are aware of, but most of the time it is hidden from the general public's view.

Thats the sad part, kind of hard to stop and thats a shame, animal cruelty at its finest.
cant people bet and watch this for some kind of entertainment its just sickening.

[ausbit]

In my country cock fighting is already a legal, until now. So there are more cock fighting arena in everywhere if you want to bet. Especially during some special occasions like a fiesta town, and there are many people visited to bet because there is a big prize. Even in the street place you will find some people are playing cock fighting.

Am surprised didn’t know the game can be legal in a country. Would like to know about your country and how long the game has been in existence. I’ve always taught that it would be impossible for a country to make cockfight legal, am sure that’s because I barely know little about the game and I am from a country where it is not been practiced.

Cock fighting to me should never be a legal game because it’s just like violating the right of the animals. I am just of that opinion because I cannot imagine how animals are been used to gamble. Is that the extent to which gamblers are in need of money or you people still do that for fun?

Violating the right of animal lol.. That made me laugh mate. I understand you have no idea about the game at all. Probably because of your country but it has nothing to do with animal right violation that is if animals even have a right.

Cockfights is a very interesting gambling and its practiced more in the Asian country. Plated more by the average citizen but it’s been viewed by a lot of of people, even the wealthy.  Those days I was much younger, I would go and watch my father play. He rares cocks in preparation for this gamble. One of the days I saw how my father won money just by using hand signal, he was really happy and we had fun.

I have read a lot of threads the past few days but infortunately I was trying to look upon discussions that talk about cock fighting. Why? because this event is one of the old gambling activities way back and up to present. I do not know if it is known by other country but for sure in Mexico, Spain and Philippines cock fighting is widely spread. Sometimes it is legal but sometimes men operated it illegal.

Does you country know about this cock fight betting?

Very popular here in our country, it's legal if it held in a place, in compliant to the as specified by our country, but illegal if it is held in a backyard and people making bets on it because it creates to much noise in the neighborhood, it's very old gambling form in our country there was a time that it's our national past time.

I don't think this kind of animal cruelty happens many places in Northern Europe where I live, The only time I have seen cockfighting was between two cocks who were living on two different farms near each other, they were fighting each other without any humans wanted them to do so. None of the cooks took any visible injuries, and they were fighting each other for more than 10 or 15 minutes, according to one of the owners they were fighting each other each week.

Cocks or Roosters will fight each other regardless if they are on the same farm or not. Thats why humans have found a better use of these roosters than just breeding hens or cooking it for dinner. And I dont think cockfighting is a form of animal cruelty.

There is so much benefit to feed those fighting cocks because if will not take so much investment but the result of a single fight is worth winning so it like to play if I ever got an opportunity now a day I am keeping my own fighting chicken so it will grow and will fight for me to win the bet it makes huge profit.

Legality is one thing and ethics is another. It may be legal in your place (although I doubt that). But is it morally correct to harm living beings just for entertainment? I have watched the videos of cock fighting in YouTube, and they are nothing short of barbaric. I don't know what sort of message is being sent out by conducting such tournaments. Ideally, sports is meant for relaxation and peace. Here, all the violence, blood and gore is being used as a tool to attract more viewers and generate revenue.

Here's one scheduled this May 27 to June 2 and it will be hosted at Smart Araneta Coliseum.



So this event will last for 6 days (June 1 not included). Ticket price costs at around $20 USD to $30 USD. Take note that it's 1 ticket per day so if you plan to attend the entire 7 days derby then it will cost you $140 USD to $210 USD.

[Rufsilf]

We have it in our country but their a specific place to do it which is legal and they even have schedules like  every Sunday in our place. It is an all time favorite past time by most people especially older ones or like retirees.

What you are saying are those cockfighting that guerrilla style,those who’s not in legal arena that’s why they are hiding the game

But for those professional cockfighting that has a big amount of bets,they are conducting derbies in which many popular people attending (mostly politicians lol 😂)

To be specific that's not happening in my own country as i have never heard anybody mentioned it to me. One would say that, this type or kind of fight could be such that will be restricted to some age or that which is done secret and not public. In my country, if such thing is fond, there will be a penalty for the organizer of such competition as our culture is against such practice..

it could be because your folks use different pets say dogs or horses. i'm from Philippines and we all have these type of entertainments, it could be brutal to you but these are fun to watch just as the matadors in Spain. WE do have cock fighting in the arena, same goes with spiders and fighting bulls in the northern provinces.
In some countries there are illegal pitbull fights which were also adopted here.

[Micerker]

My country is in Southeast Asia, and my country exists cockfight betting and lives cockfight betting. But the cockfight bet is an activity banned because my state completely prohibits all forms of gambling. If you want to join the cockfight bet, you need to find out which areas are illegal. I still often join cockfight bets, and most of them often lose in bets.
