The birds who do not make the cut are simply killed , and those who are deemed good enough to fight are sure to endure a painful and cruel death in the ring.

In addition to the illegal cockfights themselves, there are usually many other illegal activities taking place at the event including gambling, drug-taking, and gang violence, with one cockfight in Northern California resulting in a triple homicide.
While cockfighting is now illegal in the U. Cockfighting may be an underground activity in the U. Worldwide movements are also needed to highlight the true cruelty behind this popular cultural blood sport so that we can put an end to it once and for all.

Thank you for an informative article. Read more…. This may be impolitic on a site dedicated to pet chickens, rather than meat birds, but im planning on raising both, and my first thought when i saw the suggestion of using flour to staunch wounds was "if i have to bread him, i may as well fry him!
If chicken eaters arent allowed on this board, its best i know now hehe. I didn't think of that, but that's funny! A lot of people do send their extra roos to freezer camp; not unusual at all! Well we spit and shook on the deal on that little hobby farm As for roos and freezer camp, i personally think its much better to let them grow up a bit, live a happy chicken life, then become dinner, than to be put in a plastic bag and smothered at hatching ;:shudder:: but again, thats my personal bias and detest of waste heh.
Thank you for being so welcoming. Wow, I've never heard of smothering a hatching rooster! I agree with you, that's terribly inhumane. Nice job!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the affirmation, I had felt that letting them sort it out is best. I had two roos that tormented the other birds. Notice I said 'had', I put them to a place they could better serve I now have the two bantam roos that continually duke it out for last and next to last place. If this keeps up I'll choose one of them to become a 'single serving' and go from there.
Until then I'll practice patching the warriors up and let them have at it. They will have till spring to sort it out as when the temperatures rise so does the chance of infection. I can't help but comment on the suffocating baby chicks, first I apologize if that is not what were talking about but if it is, yes I have a real problem with that Thank you for this article.
I have two roosters and probably not enough hens, but I want to buy few more. But maybe I react too soon when my roosters are fighting, although I am not sure. I let them fight yeasterday no major wounds since I put blinders on younger rooster but older rooster is surrender after 10 minutes of fight or less and run away, but younger one chase him soo I don;t know if they will get along.
I am going to fix my separate coop Opal - younger rooster broke fence and keep Opal there. Bless you for this informative, practical article! I just had a pretty bad fight two days ago. I found the older rooster in the corner of one of the houses a bloody mess. I immediately took him in washed him off and found no wounds other than his head.
