Cock Fighting

http://www.humanesociety.org/issues/cockfighting/

This website defines cockfights and gives breif information about the sport. It also shows a video clip and gives a list of websites that lead to more information about cock fighting and what is being done to try and ban it. This website is biased. It takes the side that cock fighting is wrong and that states need to crack down on their laws because it is illegal and a felony in every state.
The website states that "in a cock fight, two roosters fight each other to the death while people place bets. Cockfighters let the bird suffer untreated injuries or throw the birds away like trash afterwards. Besides being cruel cock fighting often goes hand in hand with gambling, drug dealing, illegal gun sales, and murder."
In these fights, birds wear razor-sharp blades on their legs which cause injuries like punctured legs, broken bones and peirced eyes. Most of them do not survive. This website also talks about how parents take their children to see cock fights which could leave their children to think that violence is okay.
The websites video clip gives the most in depth look at cock fighting because it explains and shows how the cock fight is set up as well as the dead and injured birds. They are set up with orange scratch lines in the video. They also found a shelter where these cock fighters were breeding chickens and realized that it was also an animal cruelty case which made things worse. These chickens did not have access to water and were in very bad shape. This was a cock fight the the HSUS helped bust open.
