Male chickens fight with other male chicken. Natural.

Where can I go to wager on cock fights?
Regardless of how an animal is fed, my point still stands - animals will eat other animals to stay alive. It's the same thing as watching a school of salmon feed on live krill. Are you disturbed if you go to the Vancouver Aquarium and watch them feed the aquatic mammals? Would you be equally disturbed if you were fishing and watched a school of salmon go for their food choice?

By the way, watching a school of salmon fight for one piece of krill - be it the head or any other body part - is quite graphic. Much more graphic than watching one 20" bearded dragon eat a tiny pinky mouse. The only way jepho could've committed animal cruelty in any way is if he purposefully went and injured the pinkie mouse.

Animals will eat other animals to survive. It's all food to them.

Either way, we're getting off topic on the introduction of pets. If you would like to continue this discussion, please start a new thread.
