Scott Elkinsthe famous eating contests - hotdogs and otherwise on ESPN. People consider these eating sports a "sport". Animals have to be killed to make the hotdogs (although I don't want to guess which animal parts are in them) and other meats are involved that come from animals in other eating contests. Again, the animals go to a slaughter house and have a ZERO percent chance of surviving to make these hotdogs for these eating contests (and food is NOT consumed for survival in these contests, so that cannot be an argument). In a cockfight, again, the rooster is left with his destiny in his hands and is doing something that comes natural to him in a more humane way than in the wild if they fought naturally until death.
If someone really cares enough about a chicken that they do not want to see one killed, then you would have to be a strict vegetarian or you would simply he a hypocrit - there is no way around it.
I am in the minority here on this issue, there is no doubt. That is fine. I still will never believe that cockfighting is so serious that one would judge me as being a worse person than someone who sold drugs - never!
