Not all the fighting cocks are exported, a lot of them are fought right here on the island.
Cock fighting involves gambling, and gambling involves organized crime. It's a big issue that goes far beyond "raising roosters". It will never be tackled on this island within my lifetime, because there is too much corruption in the government. When I was in training for my animal cruelty and neglect investigator job they taught us that if we found evidence of cock fighting to STOP investigating if we wanted to live, and to notify the FBI because it would likely involve a dozen interstate felonies beyond animal cruelty laws. If you think that chapter was dark, you should have been there for the one on satanic ritual killing. Makes the cock fighters look like upstanding members of the local police department.
As far as export goes, most of the blood sport animals are sent through the USPS. The primary distribution network for this organized crime is a quasi-government agency.
If anybody was really concerned who is running these operations it would only take them about 10 minutes to find out. These birds have a very specific diet and need for products for treating lacerations. And there are only a few feed stores in town, and the employees talk.
