Cockfighting In The Dominican Republic
These photos were taken in the Dominican Republic where cockfighting is legal, regulated by the government, and very popular, especially with men. Fighting cocks are owner by farmers, laborers, business owners, wealthy and well-known Dominicans and prominent politicians. Many business and political connections are made at cockfights.
Speaking personally, I don't enjoy watching a cockfight and have only gone a couple of times to take photos to include with my gallery on life in the Dominican Republic. The photos that I have posted have been screened and edited to exclude those showing blood on the cocks or in the cockpit.
