HONG KONG -- Hong Kong police arrested 115 men for illegally gambling on insect fights on Sunday in the same building that housed a cricket lovers' association, a police spokesman said.

Police seized about 300 crickets and $1,025 in cash during the bust, said police spokesman T.K. Ng.

The alleged bug gamblers remained in custody Sunday, but weren't immediately charged, Ng said. Illegal gambling carries a maximum penalty of $1,280 and three months' imprisonment.

get two male crickets, seduce them with female first, and then let the two male face each other. it's quite obvious from then on. it's the same ritualistic behavior for all animalia species. lol.

A cricket lovers association, huh?

[TheScientist]

Maybe people who were apart of the Cricket Lovers Association loved to eat the crickets, then thought of the idea to make them fight . but crickets are a delicacy in certain parts of the world. Unless the story writer got the whole damn story wrong, and the association is actually for the sport, cricket. who knows, it's not on our turf (the US) so who cares.
