Strippers wrestling in baby oil is a superior sport.

The only reason cock fighting was illegal was because the states weren't receiving taxes. We have casinos here. What's the difference? Both lose people money.

A gamecock will fight no matter what. Taping spurs or knives doesn't change that.

I say bring it back. It brought millions of dollars to Louisiana.

I’ve heard they’ve got some big, vicious cocks running around in St Landry Parish.

My great uncle, who lived in Opelousas, raised rooster that he’d bring to fights. In fact, a couple days before he passed away, one of his buddies brought his rooster to a fight, and it apparently won the whole thing.

They buried him with the trophy his rooster won.

Hold on a second. Sure this is trashy AF, and embarrassing. But...

We're looking at too small of a picture here. We're all thinking this is happening out back behind the VFW hall in Church Point, but imagine if it was happening at the Chicken Fighting Arena at Evangeline downs? The fights televised around the world. You could go on Fan Duel and bet on Bandit vs Maverick for the grand Saturday finale? The amount of hate and vitrol it would attract online would equate to billions of dollars in free publicity.

St. Landry Parish could be sitting on a trashy goldmine here, they need to think bigger.

Yea forcing kids to fight to the death with blades attached to their feet seems wrong too.

You aren't forcing shite. You think these roosters are just going to peck in the grass amongst themselves like laying hens? If they get near each other they'll fight until one dies.

This isn't dog fighting. You don't have to train these birds to fight. They already know how. I have been to them multiple times and I don't see the big deal.

1) You never set foot in one.
2) You never knew it was going on until someone told you.
3) Now you want to pretend to give a shite?

I grew up around cock fighting. It wasn't too bad. Just people betting on a fight; HOWEVER, after hours they would put metal spurs on the chickens who lost and let them fight to the death. Can't say i want to see that aspect come back to life.

But the foundation of cock fighting isn't that big of a deal. It was fun and taught 15 year old me how to make bets and how to handle people who didn't want to pay their losses. Good life experience but i wouldn't bring my kids today.

More of a culcha.
actually it was huge through all of acadiana until late 70s. and pretty much only french was spoken at the fights. so not culcha. Cockfighting goes way way back in LA history, spaniards also made it grown here.

jays cockpit in cankton had international visitors back in the day.

If you grew up around it you already know that it wasn't AFTER HOURS. They've been using spurs and knives for centuries. I've never been to a fight where they didn't use them. I've been to quite a few before they got shut down. Kaplan, Rayne, Church Point etc. My family had world class birds.

Cockfighting is legit. Sometimes the way the birds are raised isn't great though. But two roosters going at it to the death is a sight to see.
