But we must not let them continue to play cockfighting because it involves the lives of animals.

Are you really serious about that?

Can we apply that argument to poultry chickens that were every day killed for human consumption? Or you will say that it's another story because people need to eat every day regardless if it's a chicken or not?

I don't understand why you are against cockfighting because it involves the "lives" of animals but enjoys eating a chicken meal.

There's no Science or Math there.
That's different buddy. Poultry chickens that are killed for human consumption every day are those that are reared and used for consumption. But a chicken to play cockfighting will become a carcass when the chicken dies, although you can still eat it. It's completely different.

Maybe you enjoy playing cockfighting, and there is a different feeling when you see the cocks betting, getting injured, and some even dying in the middle of the match. But I don't, and go ahead if you like it.

well we eat them, i personally had ate some of these rooster when they die in the fight. but that was years ago.
most raiser of these cock fighters are sentimental that if their cock fighter won several times like a champ, they save its race and keep it alive even if its wounded severely. and then reproduce its race also.

they have their own community where they share the race of the chicken, they have their own market which these rosters are traded and traveled from island to island. they do have facebook groups for the raisers treating the animals as pets.

It may be like that. But today's era is different from the previous decades, where not many people care about the lives of everyone who lives. Those living in today's world think that betting using animals is ridiculous and should be banned. But the reality is that there are still several places in remote areas that hold this cockfighting bet, and it turns out that it can attract the attention of the people around the place. And with social media, the group can have its own community as you said.

The main point here is that why need to use them for Betting and fun when chicken are provided for meal ? I mean instead of using them to make us enjoy in gambling there are so much to choose from that does not involve any lives, this may sounds corny but I think like Dog fight and other form of animal fighting ? these animals needs to be treated fair , kill them to fed us and that is OK but using them for fun is far different to what needs to be.
Well, everyone's opinion will certainly vary, and I respect that. If I don't like it, but they do, that's up to them. And maybe this cockfighting bet will still exist in several other countries because this is traditional gambling where there are still many people who enjoy it and even have lots of cocks ready to fight to defeat all their enemies.
