Jeez what a typical reaction. As has been said here cockfighting is an important part of the Balinese culture. It has been for many many years and will continue to be long into the future. Just as bullfighting is culturally important to some European countries. If you don't agree with it don't participate. It does not make someone wrong or immoral if they are a spectator at these events. It does not necessarily mean they condone cruelty to animals either.People can make their OWN decision on these issues. Get off your high horse. YOU might not condone this activity, that does not necessarily make it wrong though.
