Phnom Penh Post - Cockfighting contract falls through the cracks
A crew of incorrigible cockfighters was caught up in a crackdown in Battambang on Tuesday, and found to be violating a promise to end the practice.
Police had descended on the gambling den once before, forcing the bloodsport enthusiasts to sign a contract to give up cockfighting in exchange for their freedom.
But this week’s raid saw police detain seven oath-breakers, as well as confiscate 15 motorbikes and four roosters. The repeat offenders now await stricter legal recourse.
