They are kept in tiny baskets without even the space to scratch, confined in narrow spaces waiting for the games to start, games made of blood and pain suffocated until the last wound imposed. Then the struggle, forced to fight and kill their fellows with sharp razors related to the legs.
The fighting between Gauls are a horror show still too popular in Bali. There are no won and winners, but only innocent victims of a very ruthless gambling but still too followed by the crowd and by unsuspecting visitors.
On the splendid Indonesian island these illegal activities have taken over. They can count on a promotion network entrusted to local taxi drivers, who attract tourists by proposing local attractions and inviting them to attend these appointments that someone could also define traditional. But the fighting between Gauls are everything except an experience to live.
To show the whole world these atrocities is Peta UK. The association has released disconcerting material collected on the spot. They are videos and images that come from a sort of arena, delimited by files of spectators and many baskets. Inside there are the roosters who will have to entertain the audience to death with razor strokes.
They precede terrible “training” with specimens forced to jump with legs to the legs to make them stronger and more vigorous. Mutilations, torn feathers, barglies and ridges amputated with the shears follow.
Then the end and if this does not arrive quickly enough then the combat area is reduced and the birds imprisoned in a basket. They do not have an escape route, indeed sometimes the challengers die after time for more or less serious injuries.
There is no form of respect for these animals or interest to treat the many wounds they report. In the eyes of the organizers and who is an integral part of this illegal lap, it is only a leisure.
The law, however, speaks clearly, prohibiting the gambling with article 303 of the Indonesian criminal code (Kuhp). The crime is punishable with a prison sentence of up to 10 years and huge fines. For this reason, Peta UK invites to report the fighting between Gauls without delay.
Among the beauties that Bali offers, among its lights and shadows of paradisiacal beaches and batigies that have become open -air landfills, there can be no fighting between roosters. To contrast these cruelty is a duty of anyone who puts Bali. Only by protruding the complaint to the competent authorities can we hope to abandon this sick form of entertainment once and for all.
The Association recommends that anyone who has planned to visit Bali not to take part in these cruelty, subsidizing them naively but to do their own it seems that it is a closed chapter.
