Cockfight emerged from one corner of the world and now it is spread all around the world. No part of the world is left, whether it is USA, Canada, United Kingdom or European Countries. What differ is the legal status and the importance it have got among the people. This is much followed by the Philippines people. Every region of the country have got arenas for cockfight. It is the country where big money is being circulated on betting over the roosters. In Philippines there are platforms that are dedicatedly operating to broadcast live fights and provide access for betting. Cockfight can be found to be legal in most of the Asian countries whereas in African countries it is very limited to two or three countries.
In the Philippines you can see many cock arena which is we all know that Philippines has a traditional celebration which every festival there's a cockfighting in arena and there's a big amount of money once you will win but it's hard to win once you don't have a conditioned an well trained cock cause some of the opponent you have is that a very know or big-time cock gambler.
In my area even if it's not festival as long as it has permit from the higher ups like by the municipality, these gamblers will meet there. For me, even if you don't have that fighting cock as long as you're there to bet onto those you'll be able to win as long as it favors you. The best thing about derby cocks is that fights are fast and has few intervals that's what these gamblers love when there's derby.
Well, the truth is I didn't know that things were like that in the Philippines, because I had understood that cockfighting and horse racing are prohibited, and that is something that has spread worldwide, to me the Philippines draws a lot of attention, Apart from having a great DNA to train great boxers, they also have these customs, in a country where cockfights are part of their traditional parties, it is quite difficult for them to leave them no matter what they say in others. countries or if they go against animal rights defenders worldwide, but it is very difficult when there is a tradition involved.
In these things that are so significant for a country because they are its customs, what opinion do Filipinos who are defenders of animals have? These things make me curious, because normally one is accustomed to the fact that things are the way they are thanks to their customs, so based on this we can draw many conclusions, because for example in my country cockfighting and those who find such activities are prohibited. that are considered illegal, it turns out that it is an even bigger crime than killing a person, because you are messing with a global conglomerate, so the consequences are catastrophic, for that reason it is that even where I am living and in Colombia, which is a somewhat open for these things that they also practiced a lot of cockfighting, in the villages these practices don't happen before, but now there aren't any, in fact there is a very famous soap opera on Colombian television called " "La Caponera" which consisted of a woman who sang in a chicken coop, so this type of thing is like from 28 years ago or so, it is a somewhat old novel, but it was very entertaining, but they emphasized the story of roosters And it was in a town, where there was everything, women singing, guys who were quite millionaires apothecating, drunks, you saw everything, this is what you mainly saw.
