Getting excitment from animal cruelty is one of the most surefire ways to diagnose sociopathy and psychopathy from an early age.
While sociopathic traits can be extremely beneficial for today's male in relationships and career, I thoguht we're just supposed to be imitating certain patterns from these traits (like roissy's dark triad), not become actual sociopaths, right?

The cruelty is an aside. I doubt many people there are watching the roosters kill each other while stroking their pocket boners. To take your assessment we would have to assume that people go to horse races to get enjoyment from seeing the tired horses panting after the race was over.
People go there to see a miniature fight and bet on the result. You're overthinking it, which might be morally reasonable if you're a vegan. Are you?

You are incredibly ignorant if you think that the men who frequent those cockfights are either cash poor or not well traveled. As someone who has been to all of the major horseracing parks across the US and the UK and also has played hundreds of hours of poker in various casinos, I have crossed paths with a large number of the dudes that travel to those cock fights. One, they usually have at least 10k in cash stashed somewhere where their wife either does not know about. And Two, they not only travel to venues all around the south to attend the cockfights, but they also travel extensively to any venue where there is organized gambling (horseraces, dograces, ostrich racing, underground poker rooms, underground casinos, legal casinos tractor pulls). So even though that story was written as though they only attendees to those cockfights were one tooth yokels who were wagering their last fifty dollars of grocery money on a cockfight, the majority of the money wagered is by well heeled, well traveled men of means who on average, have been to Vegas at least a dozen times. And yes, most likely bet money on fight night.
Also, especially with cockfighting, lots of the Latinos that attend have money that comes right from the drug cartels. If you have ever played poker with some of those dudes, it is not unusual for even the low level cartel memebers to blow through 10 or 20k in one night and not think anything of it. From the anecdotes that I have been told, they are more passionate, and usually bet more money on those cockfights.

I'm with Beast - I think it'd be sweet to go to a cockfight. Drink some whiskey and shitty beer with some rednecks and/or Mexicans, bet a few bucks on some fights. I imagine it's a pretty rich culture. The whole underground animal bloodsport speakeasy sort of vibe going on.
Purposefully torturing an animal for the sake of the sick pleasure one gets from watching a living thing suffer and feel pain is a wholly different scenario than the stuff typical animal-rights pussies get on about. If it were up to them no one would ever eat meat again, of we did it would have to be overpriced local farm raised livestock that slept in the house, died from old age, had a name and a favorite color.

I guess all those males from various 3rd world countries are psychopaths/sociopaths? Because they sure as hell enjoy various bloodsports. All of our great-great-great grandfathers must all be sociopaths/psychopaths too? There are even feminists and liberal who wants boxing ban because it is too violent and masculine. Perhaps, they will want rugby and american football changed to make it less aggressive.
Get the fuck outta here!

I went to my first cock-fight when I was 16. It was at a friends house whose family raised fighting cocks. They were about to have a fight and asked if I wanted to bet. I had some easy drug money I had so I said sure. I bet $20 on a young inexperienced rooster against an older veteran. After the very first exchange my cock's spur had opened a fatal, but slow-acting wound. A few more exchanges followed. In cock fighting every time the birds separate, they are held again by their handlers who ruffle their feathers and often spray water or other liquids at the birds underside. Anyway after each reset both cocks are brought beak to beak and they must both peck each other to show they are "game" then they are released. If one doesn't peck it is regarded as quitting, it is called "ocking". So my bird quit while the other one, who was fatally wounded lay dying.
Looking at the other dead bird, I asked for my money. They proceeded to explain the minutae of cock-fighting rules, that since my bird hadn't responded to the other cocks agression during one of the resets, my bird lost irredgardless of the other bird being dead by now.
My last and only cockfight.

Why do the police care so much and waste so many ressources, sending people undercover, to bust up some chicken fighting? Who really cares, honestly? It's barbaric (or not, depending on your point of view) sure but it really doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things, it would be better to allocate those ressources into busting latino criminals. I guarantee you if you stop illegal immigration, cockfighting will go down rapidly too.

I guess the irony is that no one gives a crap about chickens unless they're being used for cockfighting.
If it was a dog I could understand it since they're "man's best friend", but chickens? The poultry industry crams them into tiny cages, force feeds them grain until their internal organs nearly burst, and this is all completely acceptable.
If I were a chicken I'd much rather die honorably in a fight than live in what's basically the Chicken's equivalent to Auschwitz.

Like dog-fighting, there is a ridiculous amount of money changing hands at these events. In addition the gamblers and breeders are usually involved in other criminal acts as most cockfights are run by organized criminal syndicates. In Hawaii, the police are paid off and everybody knows where they are held. Many are even present.

Nobody who's ever worked with chickens will care either. Dumbest fucking animals I've ever seen, and they're little cunts too. Chickens are perfectly happy to harass and peck to death the perceived weak chicken of the group.

I hear that the FBI has decided to start having their agents issue speeding tickets and guard crosswalks with the signs as little kids leave school.
