| Abstract: |
A non-lethal method of cock fighting includes providing each gamecock ( 12 a , 12 b) with a garment such as a vest ( 16 a , 16 b) or collar ( 100 a , 100 b) that at least partially covers the body of the gamecock and carries a sensor ( 19 a- 19 e , 103-107 ) at a predetermined location on the garment and a signal transmission device ( 20 ). The signal transmission device generates a signal when the sensor is struck by a gamecock. The spurs ( 12 c) of each gamecock are covered with a protective device ( 60 ) to prevent the spurs from causing injury during the cock fight and their beaks ( 12 d) are taped shut. A scoring apparatus ( 26 ) is provided that is responsive to the signal and includes a visual display that displays a numerical score for each gamecock. The numerical score is based, at least in part, on the number strikes detected by the sensor being struck over a predetermined time period during the cock fight.
