If you have chickens, and some baby roosters hatch, and they start fighting when they get bigger, is it ok?

Are you guilty of "rooster" fighting even if you did nothing to encourage them to fight? Or are you required to keep them separated? But if you did that, it would look like a "rooster" fighting operation.
So what do you have to do? Do you have to kill all but one of the baby roosters?
Answers:
No, it is just nature doing it and not anything that is being encouraged. Besides you would have to place sparing gloves or a knife on the bird to be guilty of animal cruelty. I use to love fighting chickens we would fly to Hawaii for a 5 co-ck derby every year. But, recently Hawaii had just enacted a law making it a felony, it was a misdemeanor up until now. This also include the transportation of fighting cocks, I just don't see how they will tell you if they are fighting birds or not unless you disclose it.

if you can compare chickens to dogs then I can compare people to cows.

You have to have a bigger brain than the roosters...and do what you must to prevent them pecking open wounds all over each other.

Animals are naturally violent. Males especially, will protect their territory from competing males, there's nothing you can do to stop that.
rooster-fighting is far different from this.
1: It assumes that people are gambling on the birds.
2: Animal services knows how aggressive roosters are, and they will understand if they fight- to a reasonable extent.

there is a difference between animals creating a pecking order and people strapping spike to the animals feet

Most people only keep 1 male adult rooster. I dont know what it is, but there must be a reason for it.
