What kind of break are we talking about? This is just a single case when something irreparable happened. Naturally, these cockfights will never stop. They will change the venue and that's it. I don't understand why such an emotional discussion has started here? Isn't this the norm for Filipinos? The question is rhetorical. The organizers will ignore this case anyway and resume such games again.
I agree. A complete ban on cockfighting in the Philippines is virtually impossible to implement, as it is a traditional form of entertainment that generates significant profits for organizers, provides spectators with thrilling experiences, offers gambling enthusiasts the chance to place bets, and serves as an additional source of income for corrupt police and officials. With so many parties deriving clear benefits from cockfighting, there is simply no point in completely prohibiting this form of entertainment in the Philippines.
