Is it not time this so called 'sport' is banned?

Traditional sport here been there to see what it's all about once. 

Also to see Karabo and his group who turned up on their Harley's. 

Don't see what illegal migrates have got to do with it, someone just looking for a pay day.

This is where most gambling for Thais takes place....cockfighting is legal, and they only go there for the gamble! But guess who runs most of these places?

Turning "fighters" into KFC on each such occasion would spell the end to this "sport" very quickly...

I don't like roosters and I too don't like cock fighting.

Allowed or not, it's crazy.

But to your post: 

C.F. arenas and especially their 'excited' people are beautiful virus spreader.

Well known, by the way...

Prayut promised a crackdown on people gathering to gamble after the Rayong covid outbreak. 
 

The police are producing a lot of results all over the country. 
 

The big cockfighting that usually attracts 200+ plus carloads in Khok Kloy town every Saturday has not been held the last two Saturdays.
 

Looks like Prayut is serious on this one.
