Honestly, I don’t think banning or trying to control cockfighting in the Philippines is gonna do much.
It’s insanely popular over there — not just some hobby, it’s part of their culture. Official fights happen all the time in almost every city, but even that’s not enough for people, so yeah, they organize illegal ones too.
I have never been a fan of violent sports against animals. These innocent creatures are exposed to dangerous games that can harm and even kill them. Cockfighting and other forms of animal cruelty games should be banned in the Philippines and other countries...
Let’s be real — there's cruelty in every kind of animal fight. Dog fights, bullfights... and honestly, bullfighting is way bloodier than cockfighting.
I remember the first time I saw a bullfight — when the matador finished off the bull, I almost puked, but yeah, like most things, people just get used to it. Animal rights folks have been trying to ban it for years, but Spain pushed back hard. It’s part of their culture — same story with cockfighting in the Philippines.
And here’s the funny part — nobody bats an eye at the millions of chickens killed every day for fast food, but a handful of roosters, treated like VIPs, suddenly get people upset......
