This is the story of Cockfighting and how it is practised in
certain parts of the World where it is still legal. In Britain it
has been a forbidden sport for more than 150 years, although it is
said that in country parts, that it ceased much later than that
time. Many people keep Game Fowl purely for interest and this book
