Editing Cockfighting (section)

=== Colombia ===
In Colombia, cockfighting is a tradition, especially in the Caribbean region and in some areas of the Andean interior. Cockfights are held during the [[Vallenato Legend Festival|Festival de la Leyenda Vallenata]] in [[Valledupar]]. In August 2010, the Constitutional Court of Colombia rejected a lawsuit that sought to prohibit [[bullfighting]], {{lang|es|corralejas}} and cockfighting with the argument that they constitute [[animal abuse]]. In March 2019, the same court confirmed such rule, under the argument that cockfighting and bullfighting are traditions with cultural roots in some municipalities of the country.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.lafm.com.co/colombia/corte-dice-que-corridas-de-toros-y-peleas-de-gallos-son-de-arraigo-cultural|title=Corte dice que corridas de toros y peleas de gallos son de arraigo cultural|last=FM|first=La|date=2019-03-27|website=www.lafm.com.co|language=es|access-date=2019-04-10}}</ref> The ''Asociación Nacional de Criadores de Gallos de Pelea'' organizes an international cockfighting championship.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.semana.com/nacion/articulo/colombia-acoge-campeonato-peleas-gallos/238590-3|title=Colombia acoge campeonato de peleas de gallos|last=Semana|website=Colombia acoge campeonato de peleas de gallos|date=17 April 2011 |language=es|access-date=2019-04-10}}</ref>

Cockfighting was immortalized in the novel ''[[One Hundred Years of Solitude]]'' by Gabriel García Márquez, in episodes such as the events that led to the death of Prudencio Aguilar,  or the fondness for it by José Arcadio Segundo.<ref>{{cite news |title=Love and Immolation in Argentina |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/entertainment/books/1981/08/16/love-and-immolation-in-argentina/9cf0bdac-cfc3-4198-8824-d89d5e059c55/ |newspaper=[[Washington Post]] |date=16 August 1981}}</ref> Cockfighting was one of the main subjects of ''{{interlanguage link|La caponera|es}}'', a TV adaptation of [[Juan Rulfo]]'s novel, ''El gallo de oro'', aired in Colombia and other countries in the region during the late 90s.
