People 24_b.jpg

Trinidad. Farmer and his (fighting?) cock.Well strictly speaking Im guessing about the cockfighter..
But people in Cuba are poor, not least in rural areas. Animals are to be used, as food or for labour - and for the least amount af fodder, horses and cattle are meager. However especially cockfighting are very popular in certain areas, especially around Trinidad and Vinales. A farmer caressing his rooster while smiling means its a fighter - and a good one at that.

I had hopes to go to one of the highly popular (allthoug in principal illegal) cockfighting gatherings on sundays close to Trinidad but alas no luck.
