^^ I think it's really hard to separate animal cruelty like cockfighting to other gambling. I mean there are countries that really like cockfighting and this become part of their culture and tradition. Yeah, it's cruel, but what can we do if it is being practice for thousands or even hundreds of years?
And as for the subject matter, I'm also not familiar with casino's offering this. So this is not possible to the OP, and I do not think that casinos are going to offer this cockfighting for many reasons. To be fair, I'm also from a country that grow up seeing cockfighting becoming a tradition and sports and used it to gamble.
You asked the question "Yes, it is cruel, but what can we do if this has been practiced for thousands or even hundreds of years?" I agree with you that it will be difficult to do, but there is nothing impossible about it. I want to remind you of progress and moral principles that grow with each century. I would like to give a few examples. For example, before people had slaves and this was a normal phenomenon and no one thought that it was possible to change, but over time this did not happen. It used to be that a person could fight with animals such as a lion or a tiger or someone else for fun, but then this did not happen.
So I agree with you that it is difficult to change this, but I want to point out that it is possible
On a norms, people are not supposed to use cocks to fight for no reasons but since there is no law that is stopping them to halt cock fight like a sport in order to gamble with it and earn profits. There are cocks that keep dying everytime this kind of events happens but the people that are using them to make money do not always care about the lives of the animals. Maybe the government have to keep an eye on this kind of events because is doe not support the laws that is guiding the animals and there environment. This kind of act need to stop or else it will lead to something else.
I don't know where you live, but in my country if someone carries out cockfighting activities then he will be subject to multiple articles, the first being "an act of violence against animals" and the second article being a "criminal act of gambling" And those people who carry out cockfighting activities will be subject to a fine which, if calculated in USD, is around 1,600 US Dollars or be subject to a sentence as severe as 10 years in prison. Because my country is one of the countries that strongly opposes gambling activities circulating in some parts of society.
However, with this regulation, this cannot fully guarantee that people in my country can avoid "criminal acts of gambling and illegal cockfighting activities." Due to the fact that in several areas in my country, people still like to engage in gambling and cockfighting activities. And still, whether a regulation is good or not depends on what kind of enforcement efforts?
Each countries does have its own set of rules and regulations and in regarding about citizens views towards things. If the government you are living or place on which animal cruelty is really that highly frowned upon then
expect that people who do live on it would definitely be having on the same views and on the time that they are seeing someone who are really that engaged into such activities but for those places who do really get used to this kind of gambling or betting then it would really be just that part or normal on which its citizens would really be involved with it. Some had already elaborated that this had been already that a traditional things for
them on which it is really just that normal neither they would engage or not.
This is why it would really be that depending whether a certain individual would really be engaing or not basing up on where he do live or if its allowed or not. Lets just respect on what other gamblers been dealing
with.It might really be that a harsh thing about animal cruelty but it turns out that this is really just that a normal thing into these places and they do make out bets out of that.
In the place on where i do live, then this kind of betting or gambling is really that allowed, it turns out that it is really just that prohibited when illegal online betting sites
are really that taking place or running up.
