well maybe if every cockfight/er on video wasnt caught using artificial means to make deadly artificial fight... as always raiding and showing the gaffs, knives etc.. and enclosed pits, and artificial stuff to make fight, but never showing those who have birds that just are game and just spar out in open how god made, and man bred. to many people cheating in my opinion. course by my standards they wouldnt maybe be considered organized? if a cock rolls or runs, tussle over and you just need to breed or raise better birds, as mine run off every rooster that tries to take them on, from neighbor's game farm, and i dont fight mine for record (they are actually only on loan for breeding), and they all have their natural spurs, and only those for show with normal combs, cut for show (well initially because combs had frostbite from lack of care, and just had waddles done to clean up).
anyone else here purists about a bird should be hardy on its own merits, and not need all this artificial stuff, or am i the only one on here???
as far as brutality, the worst cock fight, isnt as bad as the tamest rabbit or cat fight, and people keep them enclosed to tear each other appart, and no laws against. maybe rabbit or cat fighting will be next hoo ra. i know i was surprised by the horse fighting when moved down here...
