'TAJEN'
'Tajen' (english : cockfighting) is a game that pitted two roosters in an arena. The game lasts until one of the rooster was defeat, escaped even to death.
'Tajen' comes from the balinese word 'Taji', is a small blade approximately 10 cm length, it's very sharp to kill a chicken.
'Taji' is strongly tied to one of the roosters' leg with a rope. Only the experts man can do it, because it requires expertise, so it doesn't harm spectators in 'Tajen' arena.
The game was followed by a crowd who usually bet in gambling that took place not far from the arena. Bets are held depends on the ability of gamblers, from betting at a low to a high.
Looking at this game sometimes I feel sorry to the roosters, because I'm sure they had no intention to hurt each other, let alone to kill. This was flood of pleasure from the gamblers. What do you think?
And I was only able to describe the 'Tajen' atmosphere to cartoon image that I created in 2003.
