I grew up around cock fighting Had uncles on both side that were heavily involved in it For the record they can fight natural spurs or trim off the spurs and strap on gaffs or knives I see nothing wrong with this sport at all
My great uncle(Rest In Peace) used to host them across the tri state area. A lot of creativity went into how to keep the club events discreet even though they supposedly operated legally under a very specific clause that meant that had to have club rules posted at all fights. They filled hay fields up with pickups like it was the peanut festival with vendors, attendees, and local politicians. $50/head at the gate and to this day I’ve never seen more cash at any one time
