Sankranthi: Do you know cockfighting has been banned? Be a good citizen, report bloodied sport

Vijayawada: Sankranthi is here and the most exciting part of the festival is cockfights, especially in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.

Despite the ban, many villages in the Godavari region and coastal Andhra Pradesh conduct cockfights every year. Crores of rupees are riding on the cockfights.

Going against such activities, Humane Society International/India, an animal protection organization is urging citizens to report cockfighting.
