Cockfighting in Rural Mexico (NSFW 18+)
Added 2025-03-20 19:10:13 +0000 UTCHey guys,
Here's our coverage of the ages-old tradition of cockfighting, with help from Josue and C5LatinoAmerica. Not for the faint of heart.

As a countryfolk who keeps poultry, I have never seen a rooster that seriously would love to fight. Sure, some are more quarrelsome, but the reason is typically that they don't have enough space and/or chickens to have flock of their own. Typically you remove the fighters from the flock and don't let them to reproduce. But these people intentionally breed 'game chickens' that are aggressive by nature and can be dangerous for humans too Roosters wanting to always kill eachother at first sight is a myth. They can coexist in harmony and peace, share the same flock and work as a team to keep their chickens safe from predators. đâĽď¸

2025-04-16 01:44:10 +0000 UTCWe are reasonably a superior being, if fucked to say but we are I have always thought that wether itâs an animal even a human you only know and understand whatâs in front of you. At time it might seem difficult to understand from an outside perspective. I believe that passion is happiness and wether you are a roster that was brought up to fight and it was engrained in your genes since before you were born is no different than I hungry and unducated child from a third world country that enjoys playing soccer with a coconut. That child doesnât realize how hard that coconut hurts until he plays with brand new soccer ball maybe then it just wonât feel the same. If they were picking up the roosters from the street and then making them fight. I would understand how gruesome it would be. But that is not the case these rooster live their lives for this. The same way your dog feels the need to protect you from strangers. You wouldnât realize the joy of reviving an Amazon package if Amazon werenât a thing.

2025-03-29 07:03:57 +0000 UTCI agree with you that the protestors are missing the mark, but you are missing the key difference between suffering in the meat industry and in cock fighting: The meat industry hides the animal suffering because they know it's bad. Cock fighting celebrates the animal suffering.

2025-03-27 17:29:04 +0000 UTCThe root cause of 99% isn't farmers, it's the treatment of the food industry. The U.S sees food as another business, cutting costs for increased profits. These cut costs that affect the farmers end up causing animals to be mistreated cause it's cheaper. In my opinion, if animals rights activists could come to terms with the farmers they vilify, they could actually make some significant progress. The fact that they've not come close to this conclusion, suggests a lack of empathy towards people specifically. (Which is weird, you hate people but love animals?) example, you got people working slaughterhouses exposed to bloodborne illnesses and ammonia daily. Nobody want's to work there, it's a job you take out of necessity (in some cases though yea you got sadists working there). Activists don't give a damn, to them those guys are on the same level as serial killers. By changing their approach, activists could fund unions and strikes, and THAT would actually get them somewhere. You see what I mean, it's frustrating. Look bro: right here https://www.currentaffairs.org/news/2021/04/how-the-animal-rights-movement-hurts-its-own-cause

2025-03-25 17:18:05 +0000 UTCi don't even understand your argument. People who don't want animals to be tortured are sociopaths? The root cause of 99% of animal abuse being farmers is definitely true tho glad we agree!
Jay
2025-03-25 15:25:23 +0000 UTCWhy would you assume the people who are protesting cockfighting are not also opposed to the mistreatment of workers and any other forms of abuse? I think you'd find quite a bit of overlap. And they can also probably draw the line between killing animals for entertainment and killing them for food. How is that hypocritical?

Samuel Hernandez
2025-03-24 02:14:01 +0000 UTCNot being edgy, their hypocrisy genuinely makes me mad. They'd sooner lay their lives down for a sad looking cow than find common ground with the millions of farmers in debt slavery. Which turns out is the root cause of 99% of animal abuse. Every single protest and movie they somehow pull out of their ass misses this point. But I guess it's easier to empathize with farm animals than it is with people. Lowkey some sociopathic behavior right there. The movement is vain.
IZ
2025-03-23 20:29:11 +0000 UTCwait so do they fight them chickens one time, and they go until one rooster dies ?
Nathan Kay
2025-03-23 18:55:12 +0000 UTCthese type of comments always miss the point. Normalized animal abuse is weird. There can be multiple problem's and it's good that some people have enough empathy to try and change things for the better. Making edgy low effort comments about nuggets online doesn't make you more enlightened

2025-03-23 12:48:47 +0000 UTCI think the Patreon subscription is totally worth it. $5 a month is such a little amount to pay for the amount of work they put into everything.
sss -
2025-03-23 09:15:13 +0000 UTCAnimal protests always miss the mark by 100 miles tbh. These guys are stopping traffic for like 50 well fed and vaccinated roosters. In the meantime you got tyson farms dropping thousands of buckets a day of male chicks into an industrial grinder. That vet doesn't care though you know he destroys that 20pc combo

2025-03-23 07:24:25 +0000 UTCThe end of the video was definitely the redemption.

2025-03-23 03:25:33 +0000 UTCAmazing video dude love the content about Mexico!
Jose
2025-03-23 02:51:44 +0000 UTCThis is insanely common in rural mexico dude many people justify it in the ways shown in the video. Ive been to one before a few years ago and its basically exactly like the one shown in the vid lol
Jose
2025-03-23 02:51:09 +0000 UTCIf only they didn't give them the knives to fight with. That's my problem with it. The unnatural use of a sharp knife vs using its own Talons

2025-03-23 02:25:36 +0000 UTCyeah i guess it's not too positive, but still felt a little light hearted
Jay
2025-03-23 02:19:03 +0000 UTCI don't know if it's really a "positive spin". It's just showing how these people justify it to themselves. It was nice having the cuts with the vet/activist.
SmolPotato
2025-03-23 02:00:32 +0000 UTCthey don't glue razorblades to the fetus and bet on if it survives?
Jay
2025-03-23 01:52:46 +0000 UTCexactly. It's def not doing 'lovingly'. razorblades are fucked. Also they're just gambling on it which throws out the 'but culture' argument out the window. If someone told me they went to cockfights i would stear clear of that person
Jay
2025-03-23 01:51:06 +0000 UTCthe positive spin is kind of messed up

2025-03-22 21:48:35 +0000 UTCI bought a Patreon subscription for this video. While I love your YouTube content, I was hesitant to pay for the Patreon because I wasn't sure if I'd be getting "essentially" the same content that I can already access for free. This video is not the same at all, however, and I'm excited to see more of these less publicized subjects be covered. Thought this could be some valuable insight for you, Andrew. Keep up the great work.

2025-03-22 20:07:40 +0000 UTCI was raised in this culture. it's a true hobby its a sport and they take pride on breeding fighting etc. but at the end of the day its gambling and nothing good has ever come from this thoo.
l Jonnyheey l
2025-03-22 19:56:27 +0000 UTCIt is true that roosters are very aggressive and they fight each other to the death like many other animals do in the wild. I don't think there is harm betting on a winner if its done naturally. But its all thrown out the window as soon as you put razor blades and shit on them.

2025-03-22 01:25:57 +0000 UTCI have to agree with the guy that said if youâre against cock fighting, you should first be against abortion or you really canât say anything.

2025-03-21 20:48:36 +0000 UTCFuck dude this is so sad though and im not even a minute in. I own chickens and seeing them laying there after the fight is actually so heartbreaking thank you andrew i hope some more light can be shed on this and one day it can be stopped

Gamboa
2025-03-21 06:21:10 +0000 UTCMy dad used to raise fighting roosters a long time ago. He never fought them, only breed and trained them. They'd have to cut the crest, shave the feathers under the breast and legs & cut off the spurs. They would hold "derbies" as they called them... People would take 4 of their best roosters and fight them until the last one remained. Kind of like PokĂŠmon I guess. They would used different sizes of blades. One that was like a knife that would cut quickly and the fight was over quick. One that was like a fencing sword, long and thin harp tip which took a while and the smallest being the "pico" which was the size of the rooster spur but made of metal/aluminum & sharpened which took the longest. Of course all this is extremely illegal but there's several places in Texas and Louisiana that still do this. & when a place gets raided people scatter throughout and exit everywhere. Jumping fences, running into fields and canals etc etc.
Joe
2025-03-21 04:43:31 +0000 UTCThat the country where I got all those cartel dismemberment and decapitation videos? Rooster fighting is a fascinating thing to document as a phenomenon. But, right now, this might be problem number one million and two on the list in terms of importance. There are dismembered corpses on the streets. The people are dead poor. And genocidal maniacs are running paramilitary groups funded by pain, suffering and death all over the world. Including my own brother.

Andy Kidd
2025-03-21 02:34:24 +0000 UTCYeah I'm still working myself up to the point that I feel ready to watch the video - it's one thing to see animals kill in nature, it's another when it's a reflection of human nature.
Nathan Taylor
2025-03-21 00:33:19 +0000 UTCGood vid. lots of typos in the subtitles though throughout the video fyi
Charlie Yin
2025-03-21 00:33:16 +0000 UTCGreat video, also related to your Instagram post about Dear Kelly getting "certified", getting in contact with MPAA would be a start. But, jamming into the film festival circuit is great idea. Any 'indie" film that has received widespread recognition in the last +15 years, first dominated the film festival circuit.
Thegoodstuff
2025-03-21 00:31:00 +0000 UTCItâs hard to imagine being thrilled to watch two creatures kill each other ruthlessly.
Missmeowmix
2025-03-20 23:51:14 +0000 UTCI really donât like the razor blades if Iâm being honest. I can understand the arguments for it, not that I agree with it but I can understand the case for it. But then there should be regulations and standards if itâs going to legal.
