But cockfighting still exists in several Asian countries. The government may find it difficult to ban it because it has become a traditional part that may be difficult to eradicate from that country. People there already consider cockfighting as part of entertainment, so they still play it and bet on cockfights. The men still desire to maintain this tradition as part of their country's local culture, so this is still difficult for the government to ban. Even though the government has tried to ban it by closing cockfighting venues, later cockfighting venues will appear in other locations and become secret places that only a few people will know about.
