In the Philippines, the 6,000 year-old sport of cockfighting has been transformed into a fully-legal, billion dollar industry. Known locally as sabong, it takes place in 2,500 dedicated stadiums across the country and kills an estimated 30 million roosters each year.
A few months back, VICE Australia hit the cockpits and hatcheries of Manila. There we met the breeders, trainers, and philosophers who help make sabong the Philippines's national obsession.

The Sport of Cockfighting, called Sabong.. What an interesting sport, to say the least. It's embedded into Filipino culture. A billion dollar industry, it's completely legal and trainers pay taxes on their bets... It's kinda like a casino. They even have a website called cockfightlive.com where you live stream and bet on cockfights in the Philippines.
The gov't actually builds these derby rings (officially known as 'Cocktagons' .. jp lol} to raise tax revenue, because even it if were illegal people would still be holding backyard matches every week (video of that coming soon).
I find most of the entertainment to be in the hilarious people, the expressions on their faces and the crazy betting fiasco, not necessarily the fighting part. It's a bit more brutal than chess (they tie 4" blades to the fighting roosters feet), but at least we're not living in the Gladiator ages.... Heheh.. Enjoy and leave a comment! What was your favorite part!?

While outlawed in most of the U.S., for many in Puerto Rico, cockfighting remains a treasured pastime, a high-stakes gamble, and the ultimate measure of manhood. [more below]
Produced by Ricardo Santana for Narratively's "Animal Behavior" week (July 21-25, 2014)
http://narrative.ly/the-gentlemans-guide-to-cockfighting/
DESCRIPTION:
In Naranjito, Puerto Rico, cockfighting is not only still a legal sport—but for many people, it is much more than just a sport. It is a cultural accent that defines the personality of those who practice it. For men like Edgardo Santiago, who has raised rosters for the better part of four decades, success in the ring can mean thousands of dollars in prize money, and invaluable payoffs in terms of pride.
Producer Bio:
Ricardo Santana is a twenty-four-year-old filmmaker from the island of Puerto Rico, who finds passion in his surroundings. He works in video, photography, animation and graphic design.

A cockfight is a blood sport between two roosters (cocks), or more accurately gamecocks, held in a ring called a cockpit. The history of raising fowl for fighting goes back 6,000 years. The first documented use of the word gamecock, denoting use of the cock as to a “game”, a sport, pastime or entertainment, was recorded in 1646, after the term “cock of the game” used by George Wilson, in the earliest known book on the sport of cockfighting in The Commendation of Cocks and Cock Fighting in 1607. But it was during Magellan's voyage of discovery of the Philippines in 1521 when modern cockfighting was first witnessed and documented by Antonio Pigafetta, Magellan's chronicler, in the kingdom of Taytay.
The combatants, referred to as gamecocks, are specially bred birds, conditioned for increased stamina and strength. The comb and wattle are cut off in order to meet show standards of the American Gamefowl Society and the Old English Game Club and to prevent freezing in colder climates (the standard emerged from the older practice of severing the comb, wattles, and earlobes of the bird in order to remove anatomical vulnerabilities, similar to the practice of docking a dog's tail and ears).
Cocks possess congenital aggression toward all males of the same species. Cocks are given the best of care until near the age of two years. They are conditioned, much like professional athletes prior to events or shows. Wagers are often made on the outcome of the match.
Cockfighting is a blood sport due in some part to the physical trauma the cocks inflict on each other, which is sometimes increased for entertainment purposes by attaching metal spurs to the cocks' natural spurs. While not all fights are to the death, the cocks may endure significant physical trauma. In some areas around the world, cockfighting is still practiced as a mainstream event; in some countries it is regulated by law, or forbidden outright. Advocates of the "age old sport" often list cultural and religious relevance as reasons for perpetuation of cockfighting as a sport.

It may be territorial like many other animals, but it's not gonna jump onto every rooster and fight it.

In the Philippines, the 6,000 year-old sport of cockfighting has been transformed into a fully-legal, billion dollar industry. Known locally as sabong, it takes place in 2,500 dedicated stadiums across the country and kills an estimated 30 million roosters each year.
A few months back, VICE Australia hit the cockpits and hatcheries of Manila. There we met the breeders, trainers, and philosophers who help make sabong the Philippines's national obsession.

The Sport of Cockfighting, called Sabong.. What an interesting sport, to say the least. It's embedded into Filipino culture. A billion dollar industry, it's completely legal and trainers pay taxes on their bets... It's kinda like a casino. They even have a website called cockfightlive.com where you live stream and bet on cockfights in the Philippines.
The gov't actually builds these derby rings (officially known as 'Cocktagons' .. jp lol} to raise tax revenue, because even it if were illegal people would still be holding backyard matches every week (video of that coming soon).
I find most of the entertainment to be in the hilarious people, the expressions on their faces and the crazy betting fiasco, not necessarily the fighting part. It's a bit more brutal than chess (they tie 4" blades to the fighting roosters feet), but at least we're not living in the Gladiator ages.... Heheh.. Enjoy and leave a comment! What was your favorite part!?

While outlawed in most of the U.S., for many in Puerto Rico, cockfighting remains a treasured pastime, a high-stakes gamble, and the ultimate measure of manhood. [more below]
Produced by Ricardo Santana for Narratively's "Animal Behavior" week (July 21-25, 2014)
http://narrative.ly/the-gentlemans-guide-to-cockfighting/
DESCRIPTION:
In Naranjito, Puerto Rico, cockfighting is not only still a legal sport—but for many people, it is much more than just a sport. It is a cultural accent that defines the personality of those who practice it. For men like Edgardo Santiago, who has raised rosters for the better part of four decades, success in the ring can mean thousands of dollars in prize money, and invaluable payoffs in terms of pride.
Producer Bio:
Ricardo Santana is a twenty-four-year-old filmmaker from the island of Puerto Rico, who finds passion in his surroundings. He works in video, photography, animation and graphic design.

A cockfight is a blood sport between two roosters (cocks), or more accurately gamecocks, held in a ring called a cockpit. The history of raising fowl for fighting goes back 6,000 years. The first documented use of the word gamecock, denoting use of the cock as to a “game”, a sport, pastime or entertainment, was recorded in 1646, after the term “cock of the game” used by George Wilson, in the earliest known book on the sport of cockfighting in The Commendation of Cocks and Cock Fighting in 1607. But it was during Magellan's voyage of discovery of the Philippines in 1521 when modern cockfighting was first witnessed and documented by Antonio Pigafetta, Magellan's chronicler, in the kingdom of Taytay.
The combatants, referred to as gamecocks, are specially bred birds, conditioned for increased stamina and strength. The comb and wattle are cut off in order to meet show standards of the American Gamefowl Society and the Old English Game Club and to prevent freezing in colder climates (the standard emerged from the older practice of severing the comb, wattles, and earlobes of the bird in order to remove anatomical vulnerabilities, similar to the practice of docking a dog's tail and ears).
Cocks possess congenital aggression toward all males of the same species. Cocks are given the best of care until near the age of two years. They are conditioned, much like professional athletes prior to events or shows. Wagers are often made on the outcome of the match.
Cockfighting is a blood sport due in some part to the physical trauma the cocks inflict on each other, which is sometimes increased for entertainment purposes by attaching metal spurs to the cocks' natural spurs. While not all fights are to the death, the cocks may endure significant physical trauma. In some areas around the world, cockfighting is still practiced as a mainstream event; in some countries it is regulated by law, or forbidden outright. Advocates of the "age old sport" often list cultural and religious relevance as reasons for perpetuation of cockfighting as a sport.

4. Medium shot of same
5. Wide set-up shot of Carlos Quinones
6. SOUNDBITE : (English) Carlos Quinones, Director, Office of Cockfighting Affairs Puerto Rico
"It's very popular because it's part of our culture. This is the oldest sport in Puerto Rico. We've been playing and practicing this sport for 300 years."
7. Close shot of signage for cockfighting arena featuring image of bird.
8. Wide of entire exterior of arena
9. Medium shot, pan of wall of roosters in cubbies, waiting to fight, end on man examining birds
10. Close shot of same, over man's shoulder.

12. SOUNDBITE: (English) Juan Ortiz, manager of Club Gallistico Cockfighting Arena

But this is a fight that they're scheduling, that they're actually making it happen. A rooster is not going to fight every time, you know ? It may be territorial like many other animals, but it's not gonna jump onto every rooster and fight it. And if they do it's not going to be with filed beaks and it's not going to be with the spikes in their legs. So we add all these ingredients that it's making this animal instinct unnatural."

28. Wide of men bringing birds out of the fight, walking down a hallway.
29. Medium of a dead bird in a trash can.
30. Close of face of dead bird.
31. SOUNDBITE : (English) Carlos Quinones, Director, Office of Cockfighting Affairs Puerto Rico
"They live like kings since the day they are born. Good feeding, training, supervision, veterinarian. Everybody is taking care of this bird, until the day they fight. And the day they fight, as soon as they finish their fight we cure them, they are given the best medicines and we start feeding them again for the next fight."
