Im not that good of a hiker, But while i was walking down the forest of Ahuatlán i encountered a cockfighting farm, In some other countries cockfighting is illegal, Due to being closely connected to other crimes such as gambling, drugs, acts of violence and Animal cruelty, But México is preserving the tradition.
Cockfights are usually found as part of the grand Ferias (Fairs)
that takes place every year on the same dates in every state in México.
“Tradition depends not at all upon thinking, nor is it disturbed by thinking. Of all the influences which affect the conduct and affections of men, none is so powerful as tradition. Resting upon use and custom, it is independent of the caprice of man and exercises over him an uncontrollable dominion. The value of tradition lies in its unreasonableness. It contains experience rather than thinking.”
Thank you for watching!
