I'm sexy, and I know it.

I guess it was what the rooster was thinking of himself. But, believe it or not, this rooster is not a regular rooster because it was a fighting rooster worth a thousand USD.

They train him to become the winner for the cockfighting tournament. More money is being spent on his training, food, and medicine. There is only one thing that he needs to do: win the fight, no matter what skill he uses during the fight.

For some people,cockfighting was animal cruelty, but it has a long history dating back more than a hundred years, especially in ASEAN. Some believe it was a religious event, and it was a sacred fight where the winner deserves a reward for winning the fight (that was how it was done a long time ago). But, as I see it today, it's only a hobby and another way for them to get fast money.

Personally, I never agree with it because it looks cruel to see their rooster being trained just to die in the tournament. But, as I learned, there was no one more respectable and willing to give their rooster 200% responsibility than them. I can conclude that they actually deserve to be respected accordingly.

THE FIGTHER

I took this photo when I was on our photo hunting journey at Kundasang with @ikankaruk88, @bluekinabalu, and @gideongys. The owner was an Indonesian who worked as a farmer at those places. According to him, he has spent a thousand dollars just to give them the best treatment.

He also never forgets to do his daily training for them so they can grow strong enough to win any tournament ahead. Trust me , they spend thousang dollar just to bet on their chicken.

Here is some photo that was captured at that time:
