Something You Don't See Everyday

Let me start by saying, cockfights are legal in Guam. A cockfight is a blood sport between two roosters (cocks), held in a ring called a cockpit. According to Wikipedia:

In Guam the sport of cockfighting has been accepted as a cultural tradition dating back to the Spanish rule. Cockfighting became more popular with an influx of Filipino immigrants to the island. Cockfighting events are held throughout the week at a government licensed pit in the village of Dededo and in other villages during "fiestas" where a patron saint of that village is celebrated. Imported roosters and hens from the U.S. Mainland can fetch a heavy price of as much as a thousand dollars each.

Many people raise and keep fighting roosters. We often see them when we're visiting people in our ministry.

Today, my friend and I were driving thru the grocery store parking lot and witnessed an interesting transaction—a man was selling a rooster (or roosters) out of the back of his truck. It's not something you see every day, even on Guam!
