Without a doubt cultural differences can lead to different views about this, while some people may not see anything wrong with this some others may see in this a form of animal cruelty, personally I am not fond of this, and this is because if the whole point is to gamble some money and get some fun then I can do this in other gambling games without the need for any animal to end injured or dead, so I think of this as completely unnecessary.
Yes. Cultural differences will be there. And therefore we need to refrain from imposing our views on others and respect their personal freedom. Irony dies a thousand deaths when someone sitting in the US or the EU wants to lecture on someone else who is part of a tribal community in Indonesia or Vietnam regarding animal cruelty. These people are practicing their customs for many thousands of years, suddenly some outsiders want them to stop doing that. And the same people who lecture them have no problem with animal cruelty that is going on in the mega corporate agrobusinesses in US/EU.
I agree that there will be cultural differences because if we look at Asian countries, this cockfight is still frequently contested. This is difficult to stop because this tradition has existed since ancient times. And that will depend on each person who gambles because we also cannot impose our will on those still playing cockfighting, especially if most of the population there really likes playing cockfighting. We could get into trouble if we keep asking them not to play cockfighting and even if the government asks them to stop, it won't be easy either.
To add up, even there's already a law against it, in some parts of third country places, traditions indeed are really hard to stop, people who are involved with cockfighting will continue to bring the fight illegally.
Knowing gamblers, they will find ways as both enjoyment and gambling is being catered
with each cockfighting activities are being held, either in a legal arena or even in a small
venue where illegal cockfighting is being catered.
This doesnt only limit out with cockfighting gambling but also in other forms of gambling as well on which it cant really be that surprising that there would be still those people who would seek off with those places
even if its illegal as long they could able to play.Sadly, in some corrupt countries were officials could be easily be bribes once there are ones who had been caught or just simply trying out to let them pass
despite of being illegal.These things arent something new and its something that it is really happening in todays reality.Whether cockfight or not, there's always an illegal approach on things.
In this regards then people are really that just mindful about animal cruelty which it is really that something irritating.
