I got invited to a cock fight; should I go?

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO.

Been before. The eventual loser was coughing up blood and pushed back in while trying to escape. Once it died the owner smashed it against some trees in anger before chucking it in the Mekong.

Maybe they are more serious about it out in the provinces but regardless i hope to avoid those in the future.

I would not go for any reason. Killing for food is one thing, cruelty for sport is another...and something I won't ever participate in.

I'd go for sure. Kinda jealous as I'd like to check that one off the experience list.

Somethings I do just for the story/experience even though I may not feel 100% right about it. Like the time I tried dog meat. Wasn't craving it, just did it to say I did it, possibly a bit immature and morally vague but "I yam what I yam" to quote Popeye. Funny thing is, my Pops is a Veterinarian, so needless to say I didn't write home about that one.

The one thing I've heard about cock fights though is to make sure you don't cross streams............. I'll get my coat.
