Thailand Cock Fighting

CHIANG RAI, THAILAND - MARCH 5 2006: Emotions run high as betters and bookies call out odds and shout encouragement to the birds. Although gambling is technically illegal, betting on cock matches is a longtime tradition and authorities nearly always ignore it. Bird Flu caused the banning of cock fights in 2005, but a persistent movement of Thai's claiming the social significance of the sport and a reduction in Bird Flu cases has allowed the fights to resume.
