The reason the roosters are put down (they probably spared some hens and chicks) is that they are raised in solitary confinement they are not socialized (no home training) they fight at the sight of another rooster and sometimes other small animals (dogs/cats) they can NOT be let loose on a farm..they would have to live their whole life in a cage and separated from other fowl. It is NOT because of the drugs etc..maybe that is why they do not eat them. I always wondered why they did not kill them and give them to a soup kitchen. A fighting rooster (the breed) will fight even if not trained so the breeders separate them early..Hope this helps some.

Ever seen an actual cockfight?
If you had, then perhaps you would understand why it is illegal in the US.
Euthanizing is considered a humane way to die.

I grew up in the Philippines and my three brothers and a sister are into cockfighting, and yes I've seen and experience cockfighting first hand, not on TV. It's a cultural thing, like the Spaniards loves to watch a Matador battle it out with a bull.
Not all society, culture regard animal the same way and before you cuss me out, you may want to know what the Indians think of you eating their sacred cows.

Bullfighting is cruel too. I love it when the bull wins!
I also love it when a circus animal has had enough and causes mayhem. Unfortunately, they usually have to kill the animal. I NEVER have and NEVER will take my kids to a circus that uses animals.

Yes, they are well cared for. I totally agree. I've never seen the "Bodacious" documentary. I'll have to check it out.

TUFF HEDEMAN World Champion Bull Rider
Bodacious the Bull (1988?–May 16, 2000), originally owned by Phil Sumner and branded J31, was a crossbred Charbray bull who was infamous throughout the sport of rodeo, and was commonly referred to as “The World’s Most Dangerous Bull.” The 1800-lb bull, known for his characteristic coloring as the “Yellow Whale,” made unanticipated moves that rodeo athletes were not accustomed to and were defenseless to protect against. Only ten rides (six different cowboys) were completed on this bull in 135 attempts. Clint Branger, Bubba Dunn, Tuff Hedeman and Terry Don West rode him twice. Jim Sharp and Legs Stevenson have also made successful rides on Bodacious. Bodacious was voted the PBR Bull of the Year in 1995.
It was suggested that Bodacious had gotten stronger and trickier as he matured after, in 1994, he gained national attention at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, employing his signature head snapping move that resulted in life threatening injuries to bull riding star Terry Don West. Tuff Hedeman was one of the few to stay on Bodacious for a full eight seconds. But, in 1995 Hedeman witnessed the brutal nature of “Bo” first hand when he suffered a major face smashing, and required emergency reconstructive surgery after a vicious encounter with Bodacious at the Professional Bull Riders Finals. Hedeman drew the bull again at the National Finals Rodeo in 1995, and opted not to ride him, calling Bodacious “the baddest bull there has ever been.” In the same event, Scott Breding sustained serious injuries and became the last cowboy to attempt a ride on Bodacious.
Bodacious was retired on December 11, 1995, at the age of 7, still in his prime.
Throughout retirement, Bodacious toured state fairs, rodeos, and even appeared as a celebrity guest at Harrah’s Las Vegas, and the Silverton Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. In 1999 Bodacious was inducted into the ProRodeo Hall of Fame in Colorado Springs where he was declared “The bull the cowboys didn’t want to draw, but the fans loved.” He was later featured in GQ and Penthouse magazines articles, and Bodacious was profiled on the Fox TV program “Guinness World Records Prime Time.”
After a serious foot infection and damaged kidneys due to medications, Bodacious died at the age of 12, a relatively young age. His semen was stored and 120 cows have produced offspring from the legendary bull. Time will tell if any of his progeny will match his rankness in the arena.
Bodacious died on May 16, 2000 in his retirement holding pen at the Andrew’s Rodeo Company Ranch and was buried nearby. Owners Sammy and Carolyn Andrews said the cause of death was heart failure.
The band Primus devoted a song to the late bull entitled “Ballad of Bodacious.”
