Not a pleasant thing to see, but I often came across cockfighting in the backstreets. Mostly it was kids who were involved, as was the case here. This one was in the city of Multan.
I hope you have enjoyed these photo's across the last few days. I have been posting this older work partly because my job has got really busy, so I've not been out with my camera this week, or had much time to visit the aminus3 community much, so my apologies for lack of comments left by me recently. Things at work should quieten down again quite soon, so I'll be back to full engagement with you all pretty shortly

Wow. This is a really cool photo. I can't decide if I like the blurriness of the roosters more, or the almost sadistic grin of the boy as he enjoys watching them fight.

Dramatic image! Wonderful capture (if disturbing!). I know what you mean about work and the pressure of time--hopefully, things will ease up a bit for you soon!

The motion that the birds are engaged in, and the excitement on the kids face makes for a very lovely photograph. I like it!

Whoa, an unusual yet compelling capture, Richard. I must agree with those above about the unsavouriness of the subject, but this does give a rare and very skilful glimpse into the daily lives (and thrills) of a whole people.

This is amazing. Not having witnessed such a thing in person, to me it just looks like an artistic explosion of colour.
