Cock Fighting

This morning when me and Emma were getting coffee there was a fair bit of commotion around our villa. It turned out it was a festival day for the village and many locals were gathering.

What was a bit sad and confronting was that the locals were engaging in cock fighting. There were maybe 20+ chickens either being held by a man or stuffed into a bag in the area. There was a small cage and the 2 chickens at a time were stuffed in and had a fight... I guess?

It was quite sad seeing how distressed the chickens were and there was a lot of blood all over the ground.

Cool that we witnessed a local tradition but also sad seeing the animal cruelty. I didn't take any photos.
