CockfightingPractice

27 AUGUST 2013 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: A fighting cock in its basket at a construction site in Bangkok. The birds live on the site with their owners, who are workers at the site. The men frequently have impromptu practice matches to test the birds’ mettle. Their spurs are wrapped and beaks muzzled so they‘re not seriously injured. Cockfighting is legal in Thailand but is not seen very often in Bangkok. It’s very popular in the provinces and rural areas, especially north of Bangkok. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
