Yes, in our country, I would say that cockfighting specially during the pandemic, is very rampant as you can play it online. But even prior to it, I used to be avid fan or bettors of this cock fight, so yeah I'm more familiar with it and I would say that I win some money in the past.
Of course, there will always be some groups that are going to condemn this kind of games that involved animals specially in the end one of them are killed for the sake of human betting on them and making money. So to each his/her own belief.
Cockfighting has already evolved a long long time ago. But if we can try to stop it in this new generation, I think that will a lot of help to lengthen the lives not only for those cocks but definitely for those animals who have been fighting each other just to win a bet. For me, its more on animal cruelty so it should be encourage to be ban or to stop betting in animals.
