neil cooney 10,416 Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 When my brother was in Thailand he went to the cock fights and there was no problems. He took out his camera to photograph a few birds and was told to put it away as the birds belonged to the local Mayor and he didn't want his birds photographed. Were the Betta's the very same as the ones in petshops over here ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
forest of dean redneck 12,022 Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 On a side note seem a tv program once years ago and it was about quail fighting in Pakistan ,they pitted the males against each other. Anyone else seen or heard about it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
neil cooney 10,416 Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 Quail do get fought and even the male Chinese Painted Quail you can buy in a pet shop have to be kept apart. I think I read somewhere that there's been a prosecution in the UK when some Pakistani gentlemen were caught fighting quail. I'd rather eat them myself, they're delicious. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The betta they keep are the short finned plakat type bred for gameness etc. They keep them in ponds qith their nest mates until ready for training and then keep them in solitary and even fitness train them. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

At the breeding farms they are in ponds with maybe 300 fish in there all out of the same parents and they say if one male out of a pond beats a male out of another then they all will win if fought against each other. They even breed for scale hardness and biting power. Me and a friend imported some years ago so I read up on them quite a bit. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
