I'd rather be a fighting cock than a broiler chicken that's for sure.
I doubt that.
Fighting cocks bred and raised for bloodsport are not regulated by those nice people who make sure our food is healthy and tasty.
Small dirty cages with freedom only while enraged and either killing or being killed.
Cock fighting is brutal and nasty. Actually, all pit fighing blood sport is brutal and nasty.
The elder of my two bosses once snuck into a cock fight (mind you, this is the same woman who decided to tour the deep south right after college on her own, during the heaviest of the civil rights movement) and her discriptio n was acompainied by an expression I'd never seen before and havn't seen since. It takes a LOT to really upset Louise to the point she loses her composure. The fact that stupid birds fighting in a ring is something she found to be that bad makes me think that it's a lot worse then it sounds.
I don't care for sports involving humans fighting humans, but the fact that the humans in the ring understand and agreed despite the risk involved makes it fine.
Animals don't have either the understanding or the giving of consent.
Oh, and I wouldn't eat those cocks. They probably really tough and nasty, not to mention possibly deases ridden. :barf:
