As far as I know, they are illegal if people will not be doing that on a licensed cockpit,......
No, you can't apply that rules in the pandemic, not only cock fighting is not allowed but all sort of gambling as it gathers masses that would be prone to passing the virus among the people. So even if you do in a legal venue but the act itself is prohibited, you are still doing an illegal activity.
I agree but there are those people that do meetups(tupada) to cockfight in some places here.
Tupada is illegal and the fact that we are still in a pandemic means that it will be more of a hefty payment. I don't know what's going on with them since they are afraid of the virus but not afraid to do these meetups(tupadas) with other people that might carry the virus.
They can't resist the temptation, that's the main reason, period.
If a gambler has no discipline, most likely they will just lose, what they are doing is already considered as a gambling addiction as despite of the prohibition, they still violate the law just to gamble, this is an irresponsible move not only putting the people directly sorrounded to you which is your family but the society as well as some people does not even know they are already affected, so they keep roaming around and that's why prohibition on mass gathering like gambling is strictly prohibited.
