And you’ve probably never seen two roosters in the same vicinity. They get to fight each other over territory and hens pretty much on their own.
Not with goddamn knives tapped to their legs (or metal spurs which I read are used in Puerto Rico, I suppose those aren't as bad). Boxers and MMA fighters rarely die in the ring or lose an eye btw, they also do what they do by choice not because some drunk locked them up together. The human equivalent of cockfighting would be Roman gladiatorial combat.
You'll have to forgive me, I'm not with PETA but I am snooty Northern city boy.
