Cock fighting is a kind of gamble that bet is placed on the two cocks whereby if cock A wins all cock A supporters wins. It is a legalize gamble in some part of Asia
In the westside of my country during sallah, the Muslims buy rams for celebration, if the ram is bought before the day it will be slaughtered, one of the youth in the family will secretly take this ram out to the field were other Muslim people are with their rams for gambling.
That kind of thing isn't fun because in the end the animals hurt each other. If you are a sincere Christian [1], I advise you to stay away from such things. Gambling has nothing to do with Islam. The behavior of the Muslims in your region does not represent Islam either.
Also, this verse forms the basis of compassion for animals in Islam. Surah An'am, 38:
There is not an animal (that lives) on the earth, nor a being that flies on its wings, but (forms part of) communities like you. Nothing have we omitted from the Book, and they (all) shall be gathered to their Lord in the end.

I think we should get them treated and keep them out of society unless they show signs of improvement. We cannot tolerate such bad behavior because of the option to gamble. I am ashamed that a topic like this exists.
