Maybe to raise awareness of cock fighting? I don't know.
3 day ban for expressing joy over someone dying a gruesome death while trying to stop animal abuse... Thank you Era, very cool!
Yeah.. I had no idea that blades were involved. Wtf. The only "experience" I had with cockfighting was that mini-game in Sleeping Dogs, so I just assumed it was some weird ruffling feather peck-a-thon until one gives up.
The reality is really awful and sad. RIP.

Facts. This is very common in the Caribbean. Live streamings and thousands of dollars being bet on. Hell people spend millions building facilities raising these roosters. Bunch of baseball players do it on their spare time too.Roosters are no joke. My uncle had some. Those things are aggressive.
Damn is it really that widespread and accepted? I thought it would be some secret criminal underground thingFacts. This is very common in the Caribbean.

Sadly no. The truth is a lot of people view animals as objectsDamn is it really that widespread and accepted? I thought it would be some secret criminal underground thing
Nah, it's viewed as a gentleman sport but Caribbean folks don't use the knives instead they go for this. I think some time ago activists from abroad was trying to ban it in the Dominican Republic but the gov and the population just went "lol no". They did banned Pitbull fighting so that's no longer a thing.Damn is it really that widespread and accepted? I thought it would be some secret criminal underground thing
Nope, animal cruelty is very widespread and mainstream in so many parts of the world. Shit sucks. As horrible as Phillipines' police state is nobody deserves to go out like thisDamn is it really that widespread and accepted? I thought it would be some secret criminal underground thing
honestly, that's the way I read it, too. When he said "amazing", i just read it as WOW, this s--t is CRAZY. What a wild series of events. Until I read a few responses, it never occurred to me that the interpretation was joy or acab or any of that stuff.era just out here looking for shit to get offended by

Oh come off it, you're being disingenuous. Yes, what you posted is the original and correct definition, but don't act like the informal usage where it's used to mean 'fantastic' is not the way more popular way the word is used on the internet.era just out here looking for shit to get offended by

Fighting cocks tend to be very calm when putting the blade on them and even after releasing them on the arena. From what I remember watching this as a kid, plenty of times they wouldn't even fight so the "trainers" would pick them up and have them peck each other so they'd start fighting. It's a very stupid hobby that sadly hasn't been banned here yet, I only know about it because my father wanted me to enjoy and involve myself in the things he also enjoyed, but that didn't happen. I don't know how widespread it is within Latam.Add me to list of people surprised at the actual blades being attached. I thought they just filed and sharpened the rear talon.
Also surprised they just picked them up with hands. All the stories I've heard about fighting roosters is their aggression at everything.

Are you aware of what police do in the Philippines?the hell kind of response is this? Someone dies and you say amazing?
That would be even more inhumane. They'd likely die slowly from exhaustion rather than swiftly.Holy shit, I just thought cock fighting involved the roosters just fighting to the death with just their little claws and pecking
You have no idea of this mans background and he died horrifically, I hope you receive a ban for this equally fucked up opinion of yours too.What a stupid ban. American police stop illegal things, too, yet plenty of us would get a chuckle out of one dying in an absurd way. I guess this cop was tired of murdering drug offenders so decided to do something worthwhile.
It is illegal but people still do it, a lot of corrupt politician bankroll that shit.
Cockfighting is a popular blood sport in the Philippines, where people will bet on the birds before they fight to the death. Many of the fights are legal and licensed, although some rings operate outside the law.
Legal fights are only permitted on Sundays and holidays.
The Philippine government has temporarily banned cockfighting along with other cultural and sporting events due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
no, this one was originally locked under the "shock thread" policyThere was a duplicate thread that was locked because this one exists, perhaps that's the one you saw?
I'm actually from the Philippines, pretty sure it's at least illegal here on our city at least. It can be legal on 'fiesta' and some special events, but overall I thought that was illegal. My uncle use to bring me to 'sabungan' (cockfighting arenas) when I was young but he told me it's already illegal now.The article explicitly says it's legal (just suspended due to COVID):
