COCKTALE
Introduction
It was our first time visit to Semarang Old Town. There we found an alley with lots of crowds. We’re starting to curious with the activities because we found crowds watching something in the center of them that might be interesting. It looks that it was a cockfight that they’re watching. Sometimes cockfighting is closely connected to gambling. Bets on the fights can range from a few hundred thousands to billions of rupiahs, depending on the reputation of the breeder’s cock. While the rules usually do not require one or both birds to die in order to declare a winner, they said that death is often the outcome due to the severity of injuries.
