Geez John would it be better if it were a pastime of the poor? I mean why
are you getting so worked up over fox hunting when cock fights not only
serve the purpose of entertaining those who watch, but also are usually
run as money making events (gambling). Is it because those who tend to
attend a cock fight are poor and thus are some how less wrong than the
rich?
Frankly, this smacks of elitism.
