Cock Fight Sakti

The small village here had a cock fight today. It was a men only affair, yes only stupid men betting on the life and death of the poor critters, and it is a fight to death.






They tie these knives onto the left legs of the cocks.


Then they introduce the tow cocks to each other.



Then the bets, and if there are not equal bets they disqualify the challenger.


The they release the cocks. Two of the tree fights I watched lasted 30 seconds or less.


Many of the bets were 1,000,000 Rupiah or more which is about $100.
