What is cockfighting?
Cockfighting is a centuries-old cruel blood sport in which two or more specially bred birds, known as gamecocks, are placed in an enclosure to fight. The primary purpose is gambling where spectators place bets and entertainment. A cockfight usually results in the death of one of the birds; sometimes it ends in the death of both. A typical cockfight can last anywhere from several minutes to more than half an hour.
