I am not fond of cockfighting but I see people who are madly in love with this kind of game. They even have a farm for the fighting rooster and they take care of them way more than his family. They will get their roosters checked if something goes wrong while neglecting his family's health. I do not know what comes to the mind of these people since they treasure their fighting cocks way more than themselves and their families.
This can happen because the love for the fighting cocks is not more than the love for the family. However, because taking care of chickens is their job and they always have a reliable rooster to compete in cockfights and they also have fighting cocks for sale. so they pay so much attention to their pet chickens, because they can make money from there and that money is to meet their needs and that of their family. So we cannot say completely that those who like cockfighting tend not to care about their families.
First of all, This is gambling and wasting money for the rooster maintenance for preparation to fight is really a careless acts since you don’t know if the rooster will win when they put on the match.
Many locals in our area usually over spend on rooster petting since it requires tons of vitamins and special pellet to make the rooster stronger. Typically, most of the owner spend out of budget that leaves their family suffer. I will understand if the expenses is for the rooster sales but this is gambling which makes tem really careless because it’s not a source of income.
I don't think that's a problem. Indeed, the problem of caring for fighting cocks is quite expensive, because you have to buy vitamins, feed and so on. However, this is also comparable to the price of the chicken when it is about to be sold, especially when the chicken that is going to be sold has won several matches, so the price offered to buy the chicken is really fantastic. And this is a business.
Indeed there are some people who are more concerned with their pet chickens than their families. But we also cannot condemn everyone who does cockfighting like that.
See cockfighting can be as addictive as any other gambling or sportbetting hobby, but there is an important difference which separates cockfighting from those other activities, the owner of the rooster has some power over the outcome of the fight and so, over the chances of winning, so it is logical they take care of their animals as much as they do, because that can be the difference between winning an important amount of money or not.
I agree with this, maybe some people think it is a waste of time just to take care of roosters. However, for people who like cockfighting, they think that the fighting cock they own is very important and a valuable asset. Because they can get money from raising their fighting cocks and through the bets they make in cockfighting.
