Cockfighting: cruelty or culture?

The below images capture a typical aspect of the Haitian culture – Cockfighting – in the vicinity of Dezemitte in Petion Ville, Port-au-Prince. Despite its traditional value that has been passed down from generation to generation in Haiti, it has raised massive concerns of animal cruelty.

Participant’s bets starting from 100 to 1000 Gourdes, better known as Goud (the currency of Haiti, where one USD equals 40 Gourdes).
