I understand why dog fighting is very much frowned upon. You have to train the dog to fight. But, who on here is going to cry over a fighting rooster? I mean USC's mascot is a damn fighting Gamecock. It's purpose in life is to fight. That's how it gets it's pleasure. Gamecocks are not pets. If it's noble to kill a bull in Spain why not allow two fighting Cocks do what they do in America?

I've seen a few cock fights in my time ... they are brutal and bloody. But the worst ones are the ones that take place in the brooding yards ... sometimes between brothers. They are vicious. It's all they know how to do and it's how they have evolved to propagate only their strongest. Usually the winner takes out his opponent's eyes first, then he tortures him for awhile eventually leaving him to die a slow death, eaten alive by other birds at times.
