Pedro and the Cockfight -- The Horrifying Video

Pedro and the Cockfight -- The Horrifying Video

TMZ has obtained the video of three-time Cy Young award winner Pedro Martinez at a cockfight with Hall of Fame pitcher Juan Marichal in the Dominican Republic. Did Michael Vick not teach us all a lesson?


The video shows Mets star Martinez and Marichal serving as "soltadores" -- the people who release the animals into the death ring. As the fight goes on -- which we have chosen not to show -- Martinez and Marichal can be seen in the audience, smiling and laughing.

Cockfighting is legal and popular in the Dominican Republic.

It's unclear whose rooster won, but really -- does it matter?

What's wrong with this? It's legal where he is. Maybe Peta would have room to talk if they didn't do the same thing in a country where it is illegal.

Hang him and leave his body out for the birds to feed on. I hope he dies a slow and painful death.
