In this print captured by Bennett Dean from EyeUbiquitous, we are transported to the vibrant world of cockfighting in the Philippines. The image showcases a man holding a majestic cockerel with utmost care and anticipation, preparing it for an exhilarating bout. Cockfighting holds deep cultural significance in the Philippines, reflecting both its people's love for animals and their competitive spirit. This photograph encapsulates the essence of this age-old tradition, highlighting the intricate bond between man and animal. The intense gaze exchanged between the man and his feathered companion speaks volumes about their shared determination to emerge victorious in battle. It is evident that these creatures are not merely seen as mere participants but rather as respected partners engaged in a thrilling contest. Beyond being a spectacle of strength and agility, this image also sheds light on social issues surrounding animal welfare. Cockfighting has long been debated due to concerns over cruelty towards animals involved. While some view it as an integral part of Filipino culture, others advocate for more compassionate alternatives. Dean's skillful composition allows us to reflect upon these complex dynamics within society while appreciating the undeniable beauty found within this traditional practice. Through his lens, he invites viewers to ponder upon our relationship with domesticated mammals and raises awareness about ongoing debates regarding ethical treatment of animals.
