It may be a brutal way for a chicken to die but these special Cockerels live the good life before their day in the ring!!
They are fed imported foods,given vitamins,clipped and preened and admired,given a house of their own long long before their big day out..
If they win?? Well then you are REALLY talking the good life!
Joe... In your next life..If you came back as a Chicken,what one would you prefer to come back as?
One of these?
Or one of these?
Think about that next time you have a Chicken Sunday roast!!

Oh well Arthur... In that case... I give in!!
That said,I wonder if carrots feel pain when we peel off its skin with a sharp knife or when we gouge out an eye of poor Mr potato with an eye gouger? Lol.

No!! A fighting cock has a 50/50 chance of going into stud or living to fight another day.. Originally Posted by joebloggs

cockfighting was banned in 1835 in England, it was not because we lost our culture, it was because England became more civilized. Originally Posted by fred

I went to see a cockfight in Puerto Galera and to be honest it wasn't worth the entrance fee. A few pecks and the contests were over in under a minute.
