h English (en) | ===Cockfighting=== [[Cockfight]]ing is said to be the world's oldest spectator sport. Two mature males (cocks or roosters) are set to fight each other, and will do so with great vigour until one is critically injured or killed. Cockfighting is extremely widespread in [[Island Southeast Asia]], and often had ritual significance in addition to being a gambling sport. They also formed part of the cultures of ancient India, China, Persia, Greece, Rome, and large sums were won or lost depending on the outcome of an encounter. Breeds such as the [[Asil (chicken)|Aseel]] were developed in the Indian subcontinent for their aggressive behaviour. Cockfighting has been banned in many countries during the last century on the grounds of cruelty to animals. |
h Japanese (ja) | ===闘鶏=== [[:en:Cockfight|闘鶏]]は世界最古の観戦型スポーツといわれる。成熟した雄(cockまたはrooster)2羽が闘わされ、いずれかが重篤な傷を負うか死亡するまで激しく戦う。闘鶏は[[:en:Island Southeast Asia|島嶼東南アジア]]で極めて広く行われ、賭博であると同時に儀礼的な意味を持つこともしばしばであった。また古代インド、中国、ペルシャ、ギリシャ、ローマの文化にも見られ、勝敗により多額の金銭が得失された。[[Asil (chicken)/ja|アシール種]]のような品種は、その攻撃性のためインド亜大陸で闘鶏向けに改良された。動物虐待の観点から、過去1世紀の間に多くの国で闘鶏は禁じられている。 |
