💨 Abstract

During the Sankranti festival in Andhra Pradesh, villages and towns host a three-day cockfighting extravaganza, involving thousands of trained roosters with sharp knives attached, attracting large crowds and extensive gambling. Despite legal prohibitions, the blood sport continues to thrive with the support of local leaders and authorities, causing severe injuries and deaths to the birds.
