It's illegal in Hawaii.

Yes it's cruel and disgusting, but it brings in big bucks when you win.

Since I was a kid, I'd help my dad take care of our game cocks, and they were always a nuisance to our neighbors...we'd get complaints about them crowing all day... and on the weekends we'd go to someone's house for a day of cockfighting.

Sad to say, it's a way of life here...and the police can raid the derbys all they want...I doubt they'll get rid of it.
