Thailand Cock Fighting

CHIANG MAI Thailand - MARCH 5 2006: The crowd surges with bets and odds as the clock counts down, with gamblers trying to make the most of each round. Although gambling is technically illegal, betting on cock matches is a longtime tradition and authorities nearly always ignore it. Fear of Bird Flu caused officals 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.
