Amazon.com said on Friday it would not stop selling magazines devoted to cockfighting, the practice of having two specially trained and bred roosters fight each other.

The Humane Society of the United States had filed a lawsuit a day earlier, alleging that the sale of publications that discuss the topic violates animal cruelty laws and consumer protection laws. The advocacy group asked a federal judge in Washington, D.C., to grant an injunction against Amazon.
