Actually, cockfighting is far and away more popular in CA. In 2003, this avian athlete sporting event led to an outbreak of exotic Newcastles disease in the poultry population that cost well over a 100 million to eradicate. It came from a smuggled infected rooster from Mexico.
I rather have enjoyed cock fighting in Jamaica, West Africa, Puerto Rico, Dom Rep, Haiti, Colombia and Brasil
doesn’t bother anymore than ringing a chickens neck...which I have done
I also like bull fighting...if done well
I do not like dog fighting though I own those type dogs ...larger version and as a boy before leash laws I do admit we were entertained watching big male dogs just go at it till someone separated them with water or a fire extinguisher or bb guns etc
but now...people are more pure and noble...and I’m a relic
only a few states have cock fighting..Arizona and Kentucky..not sure who else?
