I have seen many of my neighbors bet on cockfighting online. They even asked me if I have Gcash so they can cash in on their e sabong account which is as you know that it is used to store your money and bet on every matches you decide to bet. I don't think people will stop betting on cockfighting even if it's bloody and even if it's not e sabong anymore since cockfighting is legal in Philippines as long as you are in the right place and not an illegal start of cockfighting. I'm sure many have been caught and even some people made a meme video about it. You may say it's worst and some may not say but we can't stop them from betting.

This is an old game - people use to do this for. entertainment when there was no internet. The owner used to give good food and exceptionally great care to their pets. I personally know many cock fighting trainers who say our diet does not matter but the cock fight does.
But this is very inhumane - although the game is dying but still there are many cockfight lovers around.

They took cake of those animal simply because they have to win the game and in order to do that they should be on a good condition. Seriously, I’m just thinking how come this become inhumane while we as a human eats animal as well especially those Chicken. Anyway, since this is gambling maybe that’s the reason why it became inhumane and of course I’ll support the call to stop this because of gambling result.

Some will argue horse racing is animal cruelty and in some cases causes the death of the animals involved. Certainly sometimes drugging and other misuse is occurring unfortunately, there is no perfect area of the world that excludes animal abuse completely but I doubt any society gains from it, Im really not surprised more trouble has been linked to the practice. I guess lottery is too boring, is there nothing to bet on that would be more entertaining/productive then this ?

Agreed on this but on this case cock is involved, The common reason of gamblers that love cock fighting is chicken is butchered and sell to the market so involving them in gambling is not wrong since they are destined to butchered. Personally I hate gambling that involved animals but the norm of gamblers to use animal for entertainment is hard to stop especially if it’s already existed for so many years.

I think the chicken that we saw in the market (the one that we eat) and the chicken that we saw on cock fights are not the same breed. Gamblers don't like cock fighting for that reason you mentioned and if they want to sell a chicken at the market then why can they just buy a different kind of chicken, the one that is easy and inexpensive to raise. People can kill a chicken for selling and eating purposes.

It's a common thing so it's not that painful when compared to other animals that aren't destined for this purposes but it is still in human to use animals in gambling. Poor animals didn't know that they are only being used by humans for entertainment. Much better if the animals were killed immediately than let them suffer that way.

They are not the same chicken bro but they are the same breed. All market chickens can be both Hen and Rooster. It's their capability to lay eggs that differs. AND HUGE NO. Cockfighters would never just sell their chickens after a loss. They either make them more better for the future fight, or just serve it to their family for dinner.

I just don't think how animal cruelty is something you guys consider in gambling yet UFC and BOxing that can KILL people BY ACCIDENT OR INTENTIONAL are those you've been enjoying. Imagine if chickens or even any animals can have popularity because of their FAME in FIGHTING other animals, would you still feel the same remorse? I'm an ANTI animal cruelty. But there are some instances that we make such things more weirder.

I don't think they can blame it to gambling especially it is the player's behavior that ruin their lives, going back to the main topic. The cockfighting in the Philippines was banned not because of the people that has a problem with gambling addiction (Not sure but probably part of it) but I think the main reason is because of the investigations of who's behind of the missing cockfighting players in the Philippines.

If that is the main reason then it will probably concern only the families of the missing person, it's not the majority concern as the investigation is still ongoing. Besides, online gambling has nothing to do with that, as long as you stay at home and gamble, you are safe as a gambler.

That should not be the main reason, I doubt that, it's the overall impact of the gamblers IMO.

It's triggered the president's decisions, that missing people who allegedly missing and the cops that are suspected to be part of these crimes, plus the numbers of ruined families because of gamblers so much addictions to these gambling activities. Reasons that compound and weight the president to decide in stopping these activities from his jurisdictions.

Still ongoing investigation while E-Sabong was already stopped. Hope not to cover or not to leave those families who are still crying for justice.

Missing people still in unknown status, it's best to continue the investigation and bring justice to the people behind.

There's a rumor that this will only be a temporary stoppage of the E-Sabong operation until the next president has arrived because the current president has a heavy heart about these gambling activities that really destroys and ruined the families of the gamblers. Yes, it's the risk of the gamblers if they would really go to that extent but the current president don't really want to happen these events in the future. Cockfighting is already a legendary gambling in the Philippines and lots and lots of people have been already addicted to it.

If thats the case if a newly President would be elected then expect that this bill or law would neither be changed or would really be pushed through and since leaders would really be having different input or perception

on things about online betting with cockfighting.It might be a bad news for some but in general aspect it was a good gesture since the current leader is really trying to protect its citizens on possible or severe
betting addiction which could really mess up their lives.

Tax matters? Depends on how much they've been generating through this but its really hard when you are putting the citizens on risk.

the government's priority is its people, if cockfighting can bring greater destruction to its people for me it should be banned. if many people fall into poverty because of gambling, then this will also be a problem for the government. speaking the state income is very large in gambling, but the government has to sacrifice the lives of its people. even though there are strict rules made by the government if the people don't care and keep gambling at the expense of everything this will be in vain. the government must take a firm stance against gambling which can have fatal consequences for the economy of its people.

What do you say about those people who do not have addiction problems but because of the government's actions, they are deprived of their favorite pastime? How fair is it to bring the interests of some people to please others? And this logic is especially interesting: it turns out that smart people suffer because of the actions of stupid people (who become addicted)? Roll Eyes

I am not a resident of the Philippines, but I have read a lot about the country and the mores of the local population. And in my opinion cockfighting cannot be eradicated from their traditional entertainment. Even if the government bans online cockfighting, it will move to the back of the neighborhoods where the authorities simply can't get into. In my opinion, it's a battle against windmills.

You got it right, it's more than a tradition I say. A lot of people here in the Philippines fond of having cockfighting roosters in their backyards, even at a young age you can see the fondness of it. Neighborhood cockfights, "tupada", derby tournament, you name it, they love these kind of stuffs. Not to get far, even my father is on that list though he regularly do it anymore unlike before.

It's just become alarming because of the online version of it where it become easy for bettors to place a bet.

Because they can do this anytime even in the comfort of their home and even in a car or their office all they need is a cellphone a data and they can make a bet

Quote

Before that online version, there are only a few gambling-related worst cases in the actual cockfighting arena.

Because there are limited hours to bet cockpit arena is only open during weekends and on special occasions and back yard cockfighting or tupada is illegal

Quote

Don't blame cockfighting for why some people's life got worst. It's no different from other gambling here. What's the difference? You are pointing at the gambling after all then let's generalize it and not just focus on cockfighting.

Those who love to bet on cockfighting can do it anytime anyplace and their urge to gamble is uncontrollable, it's on the gambler and his out-of-control behavior.

I thought animal fighting matches was banned throughout the world, I never thought that in some countries it is still legal. It is good that they banned it as it is a animal cruelty, who on Earth would want to watch animals fights to their death for gambling and entertainment.

They only ban the online version of the game since many Filipino got addicted and wasted there life due to easy access gambling but the IRL version of this cock fight is still legal and has no movement to stop it since it provide huge tax in our country. There’s a lot of big people behind this animal sports so it will be hard to be banned by the government.

It’s a good thing that this online gambling already removed because I know a lot of people in our neighborhood got addicted and loan huge amount of money in the bank just to have money for betting.

That is why they only ban online version of it because they gain too much taxes in this kind of gambling. There's a lot of issues going on now in here, people fighting and missing, I think it is the best time to stop cockfighting in here , not only people lives is at risk but also the animals that are fighting, I am highly against with this kind of gambling .

Animal fighting becomes more entertaining nowadays, I know its very unhuman but still the government allows it simply because they generates profit from them and they even regulate this so they can monitor and collect the right taxes which is their main concern and not actually the health of those animals. Well, if you're looking for a more entertainment best then go for the sports, cockfighting or horse racing are more cruel and many people already condemned this kind of gambling.

In fact, it is very difficult to ban gambling because anyone anywhere in the world with the help of simple manipulations can play a game of chance.

The banning of gambling advertisements is not quite an effective measure as the government of a certain country will not be able to ban all advertisements on the Internet. Besides, more and more Internet users use VPN that helps to bypass the restrictions of the local government.

Not only with the rooster fighting I think gambling addiction is spread throughout the world. I see many of my friends slowly destroying their lives because of gambling but we can't banned gamblings even if they banned rooster fighting they can just switch with other gambling such as horse racing, sports betting and many more.

They provably switch on what's available on their country so for sure their addiction will not get aid if there are other option offered to them. And what I think much effective on this best if government ban gambling advertisement on any media platform especially on social media so that this gambling addiction will not spread so high and thus will be control by government.

who on Earth would want to watch animals fights to their death for gambling and entertainment.

apparently a lot of people, especially those who grew up watching it. as a kid, I have been exposed to cock fighting a lot and I never really liked the fight to the death match. though I would have loved to grow my own rooster.
