Topic: Cockfighting? - page 5. (Read 3863 times)

Cockfighting is a popular regional sport found in some tribal and rural settings in some parts of Asia. This game is not included in the gambling section as it is not internationalized. Moreover, the venue of this game is not selected or there is no stadium, so this game has not received any international recognition.

For cockfight then i do believe that this one could really be regulated or would really be allowed, but for dog fight then this do usually happens underground yet there's no way that it could really be that allowed or would really be legalized considering on the animal that involved. This isnt something that do talks about livestocks or something that could be easily to breed with. This is why if we do tend to compare about dogs and roosters/chicken then it would really be that a different thing. Not really that totally shocking that tons of people would really be that going against with cockfighting which considering that animal cruelty is something that would really be a main issue with this type of gambling.

In cultural side of things which there are really that places on this world would really be having this kind of type of  gambling which turns out to be enjoyable on trying out to bet
in between rooster on whose gonna win on having that fight until to death. Sounds harsh but this is something that some people do really love to watch or to see.
Therefore, if you do find this betting to be that totally brutal or harsh then you could always opt not to see but doesnt mean that it would be completely
stop and this would depending on countries jurisdiction whether it would be allowed or not.

The fact is that many of the time,  government in some countries have many things that remain unregulated and at that we have to understand that those countries which have no regulations concerning such things as gambling have open up the door for such activities that are outside some of the gambling rules in other countries that already have regulations in place, and one other thing is that,  gambling I animals have been there for a while now,  but people have only interest for those games that less risk and not too bloody for the unlookers.

But cock fight or dog fights are not popular because both animal have some element of wide behaviour that sometime could result into injuring their partners to the point of death without any regulation to prohibit that during the games.

Maybe that is correct that the casino owner are not betting to start this kind of game as they believe it will receive less participants because of government banning or may attack because of cruelty.
or also I believe that bringing this online might be a start of rigging or abuse because the animals involved can easily hurt before the game so it has a high chances of losing in short manipulation will happen.
Myself are not willing to bet as well even if there is availability .

I consider cock fighting a game that is more traditional than digital. It has not yet evolved into technological space as people have not yet given their thoughts on it. Then again, I consider it worthy a game for software development but what then will be the simulation behind the cock when they fight and their tactics. Asking this from the standpoint of one who understands that developments requires logic.

Maybe this is one of the reason why it has not yet entered the digital space as a game

This is nothing different from this bulfight vs cow fights that most northern men in my country use to fight on salad day celebration in the North east of the country,  but this game is unpopular due to it unhealthy practice and risks that it pauses against the animal,  although at some point,  one must have to come into acceptance on the fact that,  this games animals games will not be accepted as a global game due to regulations restrictions and the rest of the other attacks on the law against such games practices.

But then you did well to have brought up those ggameimages because it reminds me a lot about some other games that I widely played in some places but are limited in other places such as the I'll Fight or even the cock fight we Are Discussing here in this thread.

It is difficult when we can talk about some particular activities, and these can make it known that now the world sees cockfights and horse racing as a form of animal abuse, I am a person who does not like to see when they are being abused. anigmal, I don't care about that, but I feel that the bodies in the world move because of money, and some people don't pay attention to them, it's as if they don't have any compassion, but I know that worldwide there is a good campaign against animal abuse and it is something logical, it seems to me that it is not bad, because animals cannot speak, they cannot defend themselves, if we ourselves do not value them, if we do not take care of them, how could we do? If they are the ones who could primarily be making a better version of things for our lives, in fact without animals the balance of life would not be good, then we must take care of them, we must not mistreat them.

I know that many people make their means or business through this, betting, cockfighting, horse racing, and this is something that even though it can give more money, it is not what it should be, it is considered something My how to make money in a bad way, I don't compare it with drugs, because I know that drugs are much more destructive, but I know that things can go differently, animals will have so many rights that people who try to abuse them Well, they won't have compassion when it comes to implementing it, it's pretty close, and on the surface it's not bad, for me Gallso's actions were not bad, the bad thing is that one of the animals dies, I've also seen it in the thread of horse racing, where those animals have also died due to abuse, then this is not the right thing to do, the right thing is that they can do many things to avoid the abuse, but since that activity has to be included, well, it is not the right thing to do. that others accept.

Of course there's business included but I don't know about the expansion of cockfighting business in our country aside from the online casino that just recently stopped by our government. Our local cockfighting arena existed before I knew it, this somehow means that the cockfighting arenas are a long time business and I guess regulated by our government since cockfighting arena are pretty much old and I haven't seen a new cockfighting arena in our local area since then. Maybe they just don't want to overpopulate these arenas, so thus there's a chance that future generation can lose interest in raising cocks to fight in those arenas.

Cockfighting is still popular in much of the Asia-pacific region, especially in Indonesia and parts of South Asia, the sport remains legal in Puerto Rico and in such countries as the Philippines and Dominican Republic, where cockfighting clubs operate around the country. The sport was brought to the Philippines by Spanish colonizers and quickly took root in the country’s culture. Today it is estimated that there are more than 30 millions cockfights held  every year in Philippines, with about 2 million birds being used for fighting.
  Cockfighting (sabong) as it usually called In the Philippines, the 6 thousand year old spectator sport, has been transformed by the Philippines into a billion-dollar industry. Sabong is legal in the Philippines, meaning participation and betting can take place in public. The practice has drawn fire from anti-gambling and animal welfare groups internationally, but Filipinos overwhelmingly rejects calls to outlaw Sabong. According to some, such a ban would spark a revolution. With the recent increase in technology, there are now different platforms for viewing e-sabong. People can watch live match on this sites and even place bet if they wish.

Just like the casinos are forced to do the KYC in order to comply with the regulations, could this be the reason too as the casino does not include cock fighting as a betting option in the gambling site? If they do, they could have to face the consequences as per the law. Also, I think it is important to know that regulations about games such as cockfighting and bullfighting can vary significantly from one country to another. Some countries may take serious action against gambling sites that promote and bet on animal fighting games.

It is better to first comply with the rules and regulations and not include such sports for betting only to attract more gamblers and generate revenue that may lead to the overall gambling site ban in many regions.

Although cockfighting, or bullfighting, is practiced in many countries around the world, it is not included in any gambling or casino site. There may be specific reasons for this but as far as I know they are a competition banned by the Department of Animal Resources. All of these competitions involve acts of neglect or cruelty to animals that are practiced in many countries around the world but are officially prohibited. Cockfighting and bullfights are regionally legal and banned by the government, as various animals can bleed to death during these competitions.

I agree paxmao: the uses of humanity change over time. Here in Spain a new law has just been approved, called "Animal welfare law". With absurd clauses like a mandatory course for everyone who wants to have a dog, mandatory insurance, or the use of animals totally forbidden in circus, it seems that the prohibition of bets linked to animal fighting is the most reasonable novelty.

And yet bullfighting is the exception and it's still allowed

I dont believe that we are really heading towards that path on which there would really be still places and corners of the world on which these kind of gambling or betting do really happens.
They dont really care about animal cruelty or whatever things that do really connects with it as long they would really be getting entertained then it wont really be that much of a concern whether this one hits about animal cruelty or not considering that its already that part of their culture or on a certain place then this wont really be that much of an issue. No matter what we do say about animal cruelty but these people wont really be showing care at all as long it would cater out their gambling leisure and entertainment.

So for us people who do really have that kind of insight and feelings about animal cruelty then there's no way that we could really be able to stop this thing.
It might not be that heard of globally but for sure they wouldnt really be ceasing to exist but rather it would really be just that staying as long theres a demand
and as long there would be people who do keep on betting on it.Here in our place then this is something that really very popular.

Changes happen and it will be depends from the government to execute laws that can help to stop things like this, but the fact that we know inside that government there are many corrupt minds and it won't be hard to conclude that since we are still seeing places who continue to allow this kind of cruelty, it's either the government is not being alarm or there are part of this government who knows well if how money flows with this kind of gambling.

I agree.
Society has been advancing towards a path where we have beer trying to reduce cruelty on people and animals as much as we could, in as many levels as possible and that has brought us to where we are.
The fact dog fights and cock figths are outlawed in many of the so called first world countries is a reminder on how we cannot allow death and cruelty to evolve further and expand, for the sake of betting or gambling.

One thing is to sacrifice an animal because one needs to eat their flesh, but a completely different one is to inflict pain in them for entertainment. It is a long standing debate, if we think about it, whether culture and traditions are more important than progress and acceptation of animals as sensitive beings.

Animal cruelty has been the reason why many governments places a ban on some animal games mostly those games that involve animals getting into physical combat that could result in an injury or possible death to the animals.

Departing from all forms of cruelty is what has made civilization a special movement and with it, a lot has changed in the phenomenal trends that used to be before now,  I still can remember when some parts of the east in my country consumed human meats due to war deprivation and starvations,  but as time goes on things have changed and all that is becoming past incident right now.

Well the fact that there is already plenty of animal cruelty does not seem like a good argument to further encourage more animal cruelty in my humble view. Traditions are often cruel, but, you see, the uses of humanity change with time: witches were burnt, people crucified and newborns given to the wolves, not to mention the Aztecs killing humans for the gods. There is no need to continue things that one thinks wrong.

For statistics, perhaps I don't have the data in the field. But maybe you can visit the sites below:

Maybe there are many more in other countries that I don't know about.

In some countries, cockfighting is legal and can be found in my sources. It may not exist in international gambling casinos because cockfighting is only popular in certain countries. So you won't find it in other countries, and you might even find that some countries prohibit cockfighting.

I'm sorry if I'm wrong.

Cockfighting is not broadcast live because it may not be allowed by the local government, even though cockfighting exists in some places. Well, we might think that cockfighting is not popular in many places, but for Asian countries, cockfighting is one of their favorite gambling games.

The risk of cockfighting is that the fighting cock could die or be disabled. And that will be detrimental to the owner. I don't know what the owners will do once they discover the fighting cock is disabled. Maybe they'll slaughter him or something.

You're right mate, honestly when we look at what this animals may be passing through while serving this purpose and when we truly have this kind of feelings on abuse on right to living, we can also consider the animals that they are living things and deserve their own right for a free living, am just happy for now that the cock fighting game is not as trending as before again, this has been an old game of an entertainment and even this same game does not appear in most gambling platforms because people don't go for them as before, i hope this alone should make the cock happier than ever 

Yes one of the first quality of the cock to be used in this kind of fight is the aggressiveness of the animal and their health status because using a gentle dull cock for this game will only amount in your animal getting injured for nothing and you still lose the game at some point also,  although a number of their time,  both animals in the game may give up without reaching the marked line to winning such a game and since there is a local game guideline for this it becomes a necessity to the animals to reach that benchmarks before being allowed to be declared the winner of the game.

I don't see anything like superstitions in this and the game has nothing out of the ordinary to make it native even though the game is played mostly in remote locations.
