If this has not been brought up here, I will do it. In the Philippines, this news is what everyone is talking about. Several gamblers were abducted and have been missing since. It has been only revealed that those missing gamblers were really killed after they were caught cheating in cockfighting.

A whistleblower says there were more than 100 that were killed. The prime suspect is Atong Ang, a businessman and a major player in the gambling industry. His team denies all accusations and says to be filing a case against the one accusing the businessman. It has even been said that some corrupt police men were involved in the abduction and killing of gamblers.

Anyway, whoever is behind all this should be punished and I hope the victims get the justice they deserve. I do not condone cheating in gambling but is killing really the way? Let us pray for the victims.

How did those gamblers and cock owners managed to cheat in something as public as cockfighting anyways?
I don't see how someone could easily trick others, as we are talking about trained animals, after all.
Dos they use some outlawed substance on those animals, so they could outmatch the competition or something?

Also, there is a change their messed around with the spurs of their cocks with nobody noticing it so they had a clear advantage against any other animal during a fight.
Whatever the case, someone caught cheating in cockfighting is not supposed to be murdered immediately because of it, specially without a fair trial. Those are the consequences of doing such things while living in a country where the power is in the hands of the corrupt and the mafias. Sad
