Street Fighter

Awais Yaqub

This is not ordinary Cock (?) this is fighter. In Pakistan it is famous time pass to see fighting cocks they are so dangerous they will even run after people that’s why he is tied . You can find it anywhere in Pakistan. My cusion in village had it. Unfortunately cock killed his own wife and died at old age there was no son left and my cusion left this hobby :cry. Now Dog fight:huh

In background you can see owner and shop keeper of fighter
Used lightning in PS as background was so distracting

They are beautiful birds for sure. Cock fighting is illegal in most states, if not all, here in the US as is dog fighting. Awais, don't take offense at this and I understand that it is cultural to engage in such activities, but it does make me sad to see animals put in harm's way just for our pleasure.

Now, are you saying that a cock killed your cousin's wife? That is horrible. No wonder he left cock fighting, but dog fighting can be just as dangerous.

Awais, love the shot and the information.

The internet is the best way for different cultures to learn about each other, especially why we are the way we are. The politicians of the world cannot stop the education of the world as long as we have electricity and a copper wire!

We have a common interest in photography and that should be enough for us the get along.

Keep them coming!
