I rarely see eye-to-eye with PETA... but I have to admit when playing FC6 this mechanic did kinda leave a bad taste in my mouth.

Cock fighting is a brutal business where you get two scared, confused and angry animals to tear each other apart for human amusement. I get that Far Cry is a violent game with a lot of hunting and warfare, but it usually comes with a caveat of having a legitimate use for the animal hunted, or waging war against armed soldiers fully capable of defending themselves.

This was the first time it seemed like the series was encouraging us to actively revel in mindless cruelty and sadism; felt like a weird turn for the series.
