Not sure if you're serious but I'll answer in case...
The problem with cock fighting is the vicious animal cruelty. Even in places where it's fully legal and socially accepted they do nasty stuff like attach a blade to the leg so that when the birds attack each other it slices the opponent and ends the fight faster.
I am serious. I know that it is extremely cruel and I agree with you. I just think it’s weird that people are only selectively outraged with this and not with the animal cruelty that happens to the chickens that are for eating.
For example if I had to choose between being a male chick born in the egg industry or in the cock fighting business I would probably choose the fighting since I would rather fight for my life than be put in a blender alive? Maybe that’s not a common opinion and people think that’s more humane than fighting.
People need to eat, they don't need cruel entertainment. And no, eating meat isn't the same as entertainment from watching animals fight.
They don’t need to eat meat (according to all major dietician organizations). Since it is not out of necessity, it is for pleasure, same as watching animals fight.
