These cockfighting superstitions are fallacy. There are no proven statistics that prove that these superstitions really work. Even my relative who used to raise fighting fowl has his own superstition but in the end stopped because most of his fowl lost.

I really don’t understand how these superstitions goes,
What is it about them? Like is it what you tell yourself or some phrase you get to repeat over and over before taking a bet or engaging your animals in such activity to make money off them and eventually turn them to food?

I see a lot of animal cruelty in that and don’t or wouldn’t want to encourage any form of cockfighting. Come on?
Everything could be simulated in this day? Why do we have to put these animals through these.

I’m not a veggie or anything but, I was thought not to play with good, let alone to gamble on them. Just eat the damned thing and get your gambling on a sportbookie or casino.

Well the fact that there is already plenty of animal cruelty does not seem like a good argument to further encourage more animal cruelty in my humble view. Traditions are often cruel, but, you see, the uses of humanity change with time: witches were burnt, people crucified and newborns given to the wolves, not to mention the Aztecs killing humans for the gods. There is no need to continue things that one thinks wrong.

I agree.
Society has been advancing towards a path where we have beer trying to reduce cruelty on people and animals as much as we could, in as many levels as possible and that has brought us to where we are.
The fact dog fights and cock figths are outlawed in many of the so called first world countries is a reminder on how we cannot allow death and cruelty to evolve further and expand, for the sake of betting or gambling.

One thing is to sacrifice an animal because one needs to eat their flesh, but a completely different one is to inflict pain in them for entertainment. It is a long standing debate, if we think about it, whether culture and traditions are more important than progress and acceptation of animals as sensitive beings.

I dont believe that we are really heading towards that path on which there would really be still places and corners of the world on which these kind of gambling or betting do really happens.
They dont really care about animal cruelty or whatever things that do really connects with it as long they would really be getting entertained then it wont really be that much of a concern whether this one hits about animal cruelty or not considering that its already that part of their culture or on a certain place then this wont really be that much of an issue. No matter what we do say about animal cruelty but these people wont really be showing care at all as long it would cater out their gambling leisure and entertainment.

So for us people who do really have that kind of insight and feelings about animal cruelty then there's no way that we could really be able to stop this thing.
It might not be that heard of globally but for sure they wouldnt really be ceasing to exist but rather it would really be just that staying as long theres a demand
and as long there would be people who do keep on betting on it.Here in our place then this is something that really very popular.
