An Afghan man holds his rooster as he watches a cock-fighting tournament in Kabul on March 1, 2013. Cockfighting, known as ?Murgh Janghi? In the Afghan Dari language, is a popular game among Afghans during the winter season which was banned by the Taliban rulers. The heels and bills of the birds are sharpened before fights, which run around 4-6 rounds with each round lasting between 10 to 20 minutes with a gap of 5 minutes in between bouts. Some 100,000 to 200,000 Afghanis (2,000 to 4,000 USD) can exchange hands among spectators placing bets during these fights. AFP PHOTO/ SHAH Marai (Photo credit should read SHAH MARAI/AFP/Getty Images)
