Cock fighting is the shameful national sport in Tahiti and the other islands of French Polynesia. It results in a black hole of suffering. For years we have saved dying victims, and urge you to speak out against it. Here I expose the daily activities at a professional cockfight site on Tahiti.

Its All for Money
The amount of money visible in the man's hand is equivalent to about 250 American dollars. Money was visible in many of the hands around the cockpit. My contact told me that the Polynesians bet smaller amounts, just to amuse themselves, but the Chinese were very serious players and bet large amounts of money on one fight. The figure he mentioned was equivalent to about 1500 dollars US.
