Cock fight in Bali

Recorded by Marcel Gnauk.

"When I arrived a crowd of 50 people are already here and the first fight was over. Until a fight, it takes a long time because of the referees who are sitting in the middle of the ring and deciding what rooster fight each other. More and more people showed up and you can listen to the crowd and roosters in the baskets.

If two roosters are chosen each of them gets a sharp knife on one leg and because roosters have a natural aggression to each other and they fight immediately or jump on each other.

A fight is not longer than two minutes and if one of the roosters runs away they put both together in a basket until one of them dies!"
