cheger
    As I already talked about illegal cockfighting , which are held every weekend in the streets of Manila. For such amateur police are severely punished, until his arrest. However, the Philippines and thrive officially sanctioned cockfights - sabong .He conducted in specially equipped arenas, which are in every area of the city. One of the largest and oldest in Manila is the La Loma Cockpit Arena. It is situated not far from the North cemetery that is home to thousands of people in the area of La Loma, in Quezon City.     Operate arena almost every day, and it is clear - money here revolve very large sum. Himself fighting cock can cost up to tens of thousands of pesos, so have a good cock - quite profitably. Therefore, take care of them appropriately - almost like the children: are almost always on hand, regularly wash, train, buy special food.

Generally, as you know, after the domestication of chicken in India about 5,000 years ago, they were used exclusively for fighting - about any eating and speech was not. Gradually, this tradition began to penetrate the Middle East, China, and later - in Greece. spread from there throughout Europe, the Americas, and later in the UK, this sport is subject to the ban in 1849, and in Cuba only with the coming to power of Fidel Castro in 1959. cockfights in Russia have gained popularity thanks to Alexei Orlov and General Vsevolozhsky. In Moscow, there was "Society cock hunters", engaged in carrying out combat. Since the 1860s, the police started to chase cockfights. the Philippines is still about they are officially allowed, and their prohibition certainly cause a revolution. I do not even know that popular in this country: basketball or sabong. Upon entering the arena of all it is necessary to give weapons - rate here is not small, so the losses are different - you never know who will be shot or the judge decides to shoot. The judge said the law here. Fans at a smoke general view of this arena - one of the oldest in the Philippines - in effect since 1902. However, the sheer cockfights here brought the Spaniards back in the 16th century     Before the battle pitted cocks, if any do not want to fight, it will not work and they do not give it, but as a rule they want to fight - then, they are fighting cocks. All roosters wear metal spurs. Most often one but sometimes two.In six months, the rooster comb shave, as if it is damaged in birds is very much bleeding.     Until two years virtually no fighting cocks, and gain strength and exercise. After two years of fighting age comes and bring to the arena. Since the loser cock often sent to the soup, then these outputs it is not very much.     All fighting cocks are divided into two types - the flyersand countrymen . First big guns in the air, they are stronger than in the first stage of the battle - when there are no injuries and have the power to fly. The second type of cocks - Neighbors - stronger in the second stage, when the battle has been going on on the ground and have no strength to fly. And both have their advantages and disadvantages, so definitely say what type of hard cock better. How can you bet I did not understand, I realized just what they can do to fight as well as after. All this is more like a madman house - how can someone understands something I do not understand. Look (and most importantly, listen) for yourself.

At the end of the fight both cock covered in blood, but since none of them fell, the referee raises them again and again and makes fight to the last all, one of the birds defeated.However, for the wounded of the winner, if the owner believes that this makes sense, can be carried out the rescue operation, which costs 300 pesos - quite inexpensive for a good cock. Surgeon right on the live reveals bruises and cuts, removes blood from there, lubricates all sews up the wound with iodine and all this time the cock hardly wakes operation for suturing the winner

Here remnabor     Here such here a tradition preserved in the Philippines to the present day. However, something tells me that soon it is still banned at the insistence of "best western public," since it is not very humane in relation to animals. Contain poultry is in KFC - humanely and cockfighting - no. Thank you for your attention, if you liked the report, I will be grateful Like and repost.
