Cockfight

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A cockfight in London

A cockfight is a blood sport between two or more roosters that is held inside a cockpit. The combatants, called gamecocks, are specially bred birds. Cockfights are called blood sports by animal welfare and animal rights groups due to trauma inflicted between the roosters. It is illegal in the United States (and a felony in thirty States).
