On a Haitian hillside near Petionville on a Sunday afternoon, men gather to watch cockfighting and place their bets. A legal and traditional sport in Haiti, roosters do not fight to the death. Instead they fight for a set length of time and a winner is called at the end.

Men place bets and wait for a cockfight to begin in a pit near Petionville, Haiti on Sunday, August 22, 2010.
