Cockfighting, a brutal blood sport, involves physical harm inflicted by the cocks on each other. In some cases, metal spurs are attached to their natural spurs to intensify the damage. Although not all fights result in death, the cocks often endure significant physical trauma. Cockfighting is still practiced as a popular event in certain regions of the world, and its legality varies from country to country.

The actual fight takes place in a designated area called a cockpit. The tradition of breeding fowl for fighting dates back thousands of years, with the term “gamecock” referring to the use of the cock in a sport or entertainment context.

The gamecocks, which should not be confused with game birds, are specifically bred and conditioned to possess superior stamina and strength. Both male and female chickens of this breed are referred to as game fowl. Male gamecocks naturally exhibit aggression towards other males of their species. Wagers are often placed on the outcome of these matches.

During a cockfight, two owners pit their gamecocks against each other in the cockpit. The fight continues until one of the cocks succumbs to death or sustains critical injuries. Historically, these fights took place in a cockpit, a term used to describe a place of intense activity or entertainment.
