Cockfighting should be considered as a traditional sport or cruelty to animals.
The fights between roosters are propitiated by the human being for their enjoyment and bets.
The oldest fights that have information occurred in Asia.In China they were already celebrated 2,500 years ago and it is possible that a thousand years ago they happened in India. In Ancient Rome they were used to gain courage. Later, this practice was taken to America by the Spanish conquerors.
The arena, arena, arena, palenque or coliseum, which is destined for that specific purpose, is known as Gallera, where the bird that shows courage and aggression in combat is declared as the winner. For this you must leave the other rooster disabled to continue fighting. In some cases there are roosters with little breed that flee from the fight when they are injured in which case they lose the fight.
The roosters of fine or combat breeds are raised under strict rules, vaccinate them, have good nutrition and special care to achieve an ideal physical development for the fights, they undergo a training to reach their meeting in the cockpit.
At the time of the fights the roosters are equipped with artificial spurs or spurs of plastic, hawksbill, fish bone, or steel, so that the birds can hurt their opponent more easily than with their natural spurs to the point of leaving them dead.
In other variations of fighting the natural spurs or spurs are covered with a cloth or leather wrap to make the combat longer.
The brawl without artificial spurs or without wrapping them is called a bare-heel fight. Another form of weapon in the fight of roosters is the use of knives on the legs of the animal with varying sizes and shapes.
On the one hand these fights are considered as a traditional sport or hobby by some people, while for others it is a case of cruelty towards animals.
According to the opponents to these cock fights, the main purpose is in many cases the money of the bets.
They also point out that in the wild their fights rarely result in wounds because before they die they flee, possibility that in a cockfight they are denied, because they are forced to fight for 12 minutes or until one of the two, or both, die, if they are not raised and trained for the purpose of fighting, these animals do not attack with such aggressiveness, and few think that, in order to behave like any athlete who develops their skills with such aggressiveness, they are supplied with both legal and illegal drugs, such as strychnine, caffeine, amphetamines and epinephrine.
Opponents of these fights point to various reasons for requesting their ban. According to the head of ADENA in the Canary Islands, cockfighting causes serious problems for animals, and it has already been proven that they suffer from death and one-eyed. The roosters are in a continuous hierarchical struggle and their instinct is to kill the rival, it is true the fact that the rivalry between cocks is instinctive, but another thing is that they are trained and put in a specific place with the sole objective is see which develops more their skills, one thing is instinctive competition and another thing is to promote the show with the fight and death of animals, many times not only the cock dies, the owner can also die, because many times they end in tragedies because of the bets.
Cock fights are legal in most Latin American countries, as well as in three European regions Andalusia, the Canary Islands and the French region of North-Pas de Calais, and in Asian countries such as the Philippines.
In many other places, animal fights are prohibited, based on opposition to betting, animal cruelty, or both.
