Thailand Cock Fighting

CHIANG MAI, THAILAND -FEB 26 2006: Like boxing, the "corner men" of each bird are very important elements of the fight. In a flurry of action, they cut swelling bumps, sew wounds, wash cuts, repair feathers and use other methods to refresh and get the bird ready for the next round. Here a trainer reattaches feather with hot glue - the feather provide 'armor' and protection for the bird. Fear of Bird Flu caused officials to ban Thai 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.
