Topic: Cockfighting? - page 4. (Read 3863 times)

of course, this won't be only for fun especially those gamblers who really dedicate their resources for cockfighters. as any other gambling games, this can also involved high amount of money depending on where it is being handled at and who are the stakeholders involved. in some countries, high profile politicians are even involved with this game. so the money involved is indeed staggering.

With some bets, it's no longer for fun and there's blood and money that's on the line. That's how it's made for the gamblers and this is also part of history.
So, if there are cockfighters that do it for fun it is like they're testing their cocks before releasing that in the cockpit arena and see if they'll be the same during those non serious fights without the blade or sharp thing attached to them.

Not only popular on some parts of Asian alon but also in other regions around the world war we have a lot of nomadics that rear this animal and engage in occasional festivity games with those animals,  off course sometime it may sound wired to find a setting where such games are being played but then also we have to build the understanding of the fact that most of those who engage in cockfight or other animal wrestling games are mostly outlaws since there is not as a source of government regulations or games guideline that help the animals as right protections.

These have been the major challenges that have made such games to become highly unpopular and unknown in most cases since it looks weird to engage in such games.

The historical importance also in the cock fighting as compared to the other gambling games.Not all the gambling games had the historical background like the cock fighting.The main purpose of the cock fighting in the ancient time was to way forward the breeding of the unique cock breed to the next generation.In some of the countries the cock fighting was exit without the impact of the existence of the game.Some NGO thought the cock fignhiting was involve of the animal cruelty,but I don’t think their will be credulity in just the cock fighting.Some claim the dead of the cock by the fighting for this.

It does have a historical kind of things and been also part of cultural and this is why we do see that there are really that places in the world or corners on which this type of betting or gambling does really exist. Just like on what most people been saying here is that it isnt really that much that popular in other places just because of that animal cruelty kind of issue but well lets just move on with that reason because no matter what we do talk it then there are really that places in the world which they do really love on cockfighting and turns out to be  that entertaining thing for them.
Here in our place then it is really that totally famous on which in every weekend you would really be able to see that there are lots of people who do really go into those cockfight arena
on which tons of gamblers do flock it out on which it do comes into a point that there are tons of people and just like on a sunday mass. 

It origin was before the people get civilised in the most of the countries,So the cock fighting was played at the every street of the rod side.The only two cock will fight in the game was the rule,they won’t allow the multiple cock fight at a time.The bet was made on the two cock and fight between the same two cocks.The winning cock owner will get all the betting money,this had huge number of audience because after agriculture the cock fight will be the only entertainment for the uncivilised people.The many violence was come from the cock fight because of the owner of the cock and cock fight was banned in many countries now.

The cock fighting game may be from the old time when things are not that civilized. Although I have seen this kind of fight most time just for fun but the purpose was not for gambling. Gambling can be very addictive if we don't have control of it ourselves. This is one of the reasons why we are still seeing that kind of games because some persons see it as a good means of betting especially when they have big and strong cocks in there farm. Although this kind of game can be a ban in some locality due to strict laws against animal misuse.

Are there people in Philippines which actually consider themselves to be professional breeders or is cockfighting an activity which is mostly seen as a hobby or way to spend weekends? The latter case is what it is seen here in my country, even though I know there are very dedicated people which partakes in betting on cocks, I don't think none of them have been able to become professionals at it and make a full living off it.

I recall there were very specific ways to train those animals, one of them was to make them balance themselves on a metal wire, so they could enhance their balance sense or something like it. It is common here for cock owners to peel some of the feathers off the animal and then wash him with cheap liquor. "Cockwasher" is a term which is used here to call any cheap or unpleasant alcoholic beverage.

It seems that we are neighbors mate cause we are in the same country and yes you are right that mate, once you are the champion is that competition then you will have a money and also the losser cock will be yours too and it's so delicious when you that Cock and have a drink with friends . Anyways untill now there's some province who will still do that kind of activity cause they will enjoy when they saw that thier cock was fighting and win.

It is somehow similar in my own country which is Philippines. I have some experience in cockfighting and entering the cockfighting arena since my father and grand father used to participate in this cockfighting events as a breeder and has fighting cock. The strongest cock is the one the is bred to produce a potentially stronger cock. If there's a cockfight, the winning gambler will take home the losing cock which is probably dead and cook it to be eaten or serve in a drinking party after a winning game. That is based on my experience but today, I haven't entered the cockfighting arena for a long time and I don't know if it is still being done by cockfighting gamblers. Maybe they are still doing it since it's a tradition that is still being passed.

What you say here is true, but it seems that several countries that permit cockfighting have made events like this cultural heritage that they preserve.
Even though the most dominant events are only local or rural events for cockfighting fans being able to take part in every fight is pleasure in itself just like those of us who like gambling.

It not about being outdated but indeed cockfighting only exists in few countries and if it is said that cockfighting is not popular then that is wrong because there are already big tournaments or national tournaments for cockfighting.
Usually though big events like that are only held once years.
Even in countries that have big tournaments, cockfighting is also very profitable business for fighting cock breeders.

From that side of opinion, it's always the government that have the last say in terms of allowing those kinds of gambling, though there are cultures that allowed cockfighting and there are reformists who use the animal welfare to turn against this kind of gambling the balance remains with the jurisdiction of the country.

If they wanted to work in doing laws preventing this game to happen they have that capability, but if by cultural means and they will allow it to continue, then the final decision still remains with them.

The cock fighting was the very old way of the gambling by our previous generation,the ancient people use the animals for the gambling.The history says that,the gambler will play the cock fight and breed the winning cock to the next generation.Actually they will kill the beaten cock and eat as their food.This was the strongest belief by the cock fighting in most of the cock fighting origin countries.Actually in your country Bangladesh,the gambler will do the cock fighting.The cock fighting was still available at the Pakistan,India,Vietnam and some of the Asian countries.This country people had huge wish on this game.

If you take a look at the history behind cockfighting, you will realize it is a very ancient practice in many places where those animals were available for the folk population to raise and breed.
I do not know much about Bangladesh, but I would not be surprised if it was very widespread in the past and now has continued to be practiced in villages in that country, because the traditional weight it has.
Here in my country, we may not have as much history with that tradition, and yet we still partake in it, being Bangladesh a country of the old world with longer history and access to cocks.

In the end, all of this goes back onto the tradition versus progress argument. Whether tradition is such of a an important thing, so it is necessary to make animals to fight themselves in a savage way.

That's true that cock fighting can be a good source of having being entertained locally, this may differs from one country to another because of the regulations made against animal indescriminate use for our personal purpose, now the use of cock in this regard is no longer serving as before.


Maybe this has been a thing of the past where you discover cock fighting as that entertaining, except for few remote places that uses cock and that also has been occasional to mark an event by using cocks fighting against each other to serve as an entertainment.

There are really indeed some places which does have that cockfighting history on which it is good that you have been able to make out some words about history on which only a few people would really be that minding
much about knowing about those history of their places or their country.If it turns out that there's a history of cockfighting then you are really that aware that it is been allowed. Yes, there are several countries which do really make this thing to be something in part of their culture and still that been applying or being that adapted even through the years that had passed. It do really just turns out that in todays standards and impressions towards things where animal cruelty is such a main issue then this type of thing cant really be accepted nor would be recognized on every corners of the world.

This is why we do only see that this type of gambling could really be seen on places on which they are really that widely known or does really have that kind of historical application
or something that in connects with their culture. It is really just that better that we should really just simply ignore it out and let them be on believing on things that they've been get used to.
There are really that those people who do make out those kind of reactions as if it seems that people engaging into it are totally bad. lol

Actually, that's a good thing if you're not seeing it anymore done in your country and that means that there are fewer cockfights to none happening there. Maybe in some private locations, it's still happening but to most it is unknown.

It is and that has become a tradition and while some activists do not agree on this way of gambling. The gamblers that are into this won't let someone stop them even if it's the government. Yes, you've heard that right because even if the government places a ban to this particular cockfight, you'll still see a lot of them as I've mentioned are probably doing this somewhere else in a private area where no one is allowed to enter without permission from the organizers.

Even in my country Bangladesh, sometime in the past, cock fighting was organized as a village competition in the rural environment in different areas during the rice harvesting season. At one time the kings of this country used to organize cockfights for their family entertainment. However, this rare popular game is played in very few areas today. I have never seen such a game in my life but we get some idea of cock fighting competition from history. However, cockfighting is still very popular in other countries of the world.

In the Philippines, it remained popular, especially in the rural areas where vast farms for breeding are located although many of its owners came from the cities. The sport is probably dying on the international stage since it is a form of animal abuse. Here in my country, cockfighting has its own exclusive cockpit arenas. Cockpit arenas can accommodate hundreds to thousands of audiences. The big event is called a derby where millions of dollars are in the prize pool not including the bigger money involved in betting.

So I really thought that the Spaniards brought cockfighting here. I was wrong because it was actually the first time the Spaniards watched modern cockfighting in the Philippines and they documented it. The sport is already popular even in ancient times from China to India, Persia, and Eastern Europe.

I understand that there some things that we dont really understand why it exist and why people of a certain group or region are practicing this and that when it doesn't looked normal to us.
Cockfighting is more of a culture and traditions, these people finds pleasure from raising a roster until the time they will take it to the cockpit to eventually make a profit or turn them into a food.
So, basically these roosters were raised primarily to win cock fights. That's the reason why these people doesn't consider it as part of the animal cruelty. And no, I bet they don't want to see any simulations, they always want to see a real cock fight.
