A cockfight is a blood sport in which two roosters, often specially bred for fighting, are placed in a ring to fight each other. The event is typically organized for entertainment and gambling purposes, with spectators betting on the outcome. The roosters may have their spurs sharpened or be equipped with blades to increase the intensity of the fight. Cockfighting is illegal in many countries due to concerns about animal cruelty and welfare. Despite this, it remains a controversial practice in some cultures, where it is viewed as a traditional sport. Organizations like PETA and the Humane Society advocate against cockfighting, highlighting the suffering of the animals involved.
