A cockfight is a blood sport between two specially bred roosters held in a ring called a cockpit.
The combatants, known as gamecocks or cocks, are specially bred birds, conditioned for increased stamina and strength. The comb and wattle are cut off in order to meet show standards of the American Gamefowl Society and the Old English Game Club and to prevent freezing in colder climates. Cocks possess congenital aggression toward all males of the same species. Cocks are given the best of care until near the age of two years old. They are conditioned, much like professional athletes prior to events or shows. Wagers are often made on the outcome of the match. While not all fights are to the death, they may result in the death of both birds. Cockfighting, was at one time considered to be an accepted, traditional sporting event in the United States. In many other areas around the world, cockfighting is still practiced as a mainstream event and is viewed as the national sport in some countries where it is Government controlled and a large amount of revenue for the state is raised.
isang beses pa lang naman ako nakapunta sa sabungan.. isinama ako ng pinsan ko sa albay, bicol... nakakatuwa kasi akala ko kwento lang na gentleman's sport ang sabong...
pero nung nakita kung paano ginagawa ang pustahan at kung paano inihahagis lang ang pera ay naaliw ako... sabi din nila pag nanloko ka sa sabong ay siguradong bugbog ka..
yup, nung bata pa ako, sinama ako ng tatay ko... di ko maintindihan kung paano sila nag kakapustahan, lalo ng kung paano sila nagkakabayaran....! super ingay pag nag lalaban na ang mga manok.! buti nalang at di ko namana itong bisyong ito sa tatay ko!
sa TV ko pa lang napanood 'to but i'm not a big fan. di ko nga alam yung ibig sabihin nung mga terms at signs nila. malakihan daw ang panalo dito sabi nung officemate kong sabungero. swertehan lang din siguro, sugal e.
hahaha...ito lang namana ko sa lolo ko...
I really enjoying every fight of my cocks..
kapag talo, uuwi sa bahat ng lang kibo..
taz pag panalo, uuwi sa bahay ng lasing..

yung father kasi ng mother ko eh naloko dito non, laging sinasabi ng nanay ko dati na wag pag aralan itong sabong kasi nga marami ng nilustay na pera ang lolo ko dito.
in fairness naman sa lolo ko he did stop kasi nung nagkaisip na ko hindi na sya napunta sa sabungan nakatuon na lang pansin nya sa business nya, nor does he drink even occasionally. that's at least dalawang bisyo nya na naalis nya which makes me proud of him
