My daughter dated a guy from Peru who had a few fighting cocks when he was a kid. I asked him of he used the gaffs or knives and he said no, "they fought just the way god made them." I think there is a big difference between roosters doing what roosters do, even with people betting on them, and roosters having blades added to their spurs and put into a ring to fight to the death. One is what animals do naturally, the other is humans adding a whole additional level of cruelty.
Even though it is fiction, Barbara Kingsolver's novel Animal Dreams has really good insight into the world of cock fighting and different cultural perspectives on it. It helped me understand my students who I see cruising around HPP with roosters under their arms.
