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.

"There are more honest people in the cockpit than there are in the church."

Americans are Racist and dont know how to respect other culture

As a rookie in the cockfighting world, I really enjoy the combradery and competition in the sport. I only wish I would have started at an early age so I can truly understand all the techniques that I see from each trainer. I would gather all info and produce my own technique. Bottom line is if your technique keeps you winning don't change it. If it ain't broke don't fix it!

There's nothing wrong with it I been doing this since I was 7 years old. You tree huggers need to mind your own business and stay in your cities and leave us real men alone.

good fight

i love gamefowl

ผมชอบมากเลย ไก่

we filipino's love cockfighting its in our blood since the first day we were born saying cockfighting is animal cruelty is bullshit atleast in cockfighting we give a chance for the cock/rooster/ chicken to live and fight for their lives

Female Gaffer has nice hips

I'm just here for the cock.

9:38 this gaffers boyfriend/husband should sleep with one eye open if they ever have a fight

R.I.P nigga Blanco he fought good

cock fighting is a great sport it's tradition so buzz of

want to invest in the phillipines .. please check are fb page War ready roosters

If I had to choose between living in a small cage and getting fattened for market, and living in a big airy room and being trained to fight...I would take the latter.

I don't know why people are hating a whole religion for cock fighting, it been a part of their culture for years, it been a culture of all Asian cultures for centuries. This is our culture, don't bring your "Animal Rights" here, don't disrupt our peace and culture.
