Cockfighting, a popular recreational sport in many parts of Latin America, Asia, Middle East and Africa pits two angry roosters ("game cocks") in a battle usually to the death. These cocks are usually born and bred to have maximum agressiveness. Among other 'major' problems in the US, cockfighting happens to be illegal including being a spectator at a cockfight and even transporting cocks across state lines for cockfighting. So who really cares? Ok cockfighting is a "bloodsport" and promotes illeagal gambling, but technically don't we have gambling all over and do some creepy things to chickens anyway. Lets see: fried chicken legs, wings, breasts, sweet and sour chicken, and the occassional chicken head nuggets... Anyway we don't condone cockfighting but we sure think its laugh out loud time. There's nothing more manly than two angry chickens clawing at each other for the amusement of their human spectators. Next time you're in Tijuana, bet 20 pesos on Fernando the Magnificent.
