This sport has two bred birds (usually with sharp blades attached to their feet) also known as gamecocks are in a enclosed pit and are forced to fight.

D0g FIGHTING
Cock fighting is not the only kind of fighting with animals because there is also dogfighting. As sad as it sounds dog fighting is similar to cock fight and is more organized and it is when two dogs are put into a ring or pit to fight until one can no longer fight or dies. Usually dog fighting is more popular that cockfighting and more people spend their money and bid on it. Most of the time it takes place in run down neighborhoods, the level of organization tends to lack a lot when and fights occur. They usually take place in quiet and secretive spots within urban parks, school lots, alleyways or other similar locations. About 16,000 dogs die of animal dog fighting every year
