EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Scottish Cockfight" we are transported back to the year 1785 in Lanark, Scotland. The image captures a dramatic and intense moment during a cockfight between two rival towns, Lanark and Haddington. The photograph showcases the raw energy and fierce determination of these magnificent birds, known as cockerels, as they engage in an age-old battle for dominance. Their vibrant feathers shimmer under the sunlight, reflecting their strength and agility. Surrounding the fighting arena are spectators eagerly watching every move with bated breath. Men from both towns have gathered to witness this thrilling spectacle unfold before their eyes. Their expressions reveal a mix of excitement, anticipation, and perhaps even some apprehension. This historical snapshot provides us with a glimpse into a time when such events were considered entertainment for communities across Scotland. However, it also raises questions about animal cruelty that was prevalent during that era. As we admire this remarkable piece of art captured by Hulton Archive/Getty Images, let us reflect on how our understanding and treatment of animals has evolved over time. It serves as a reminder to appreciate our progress towards more compassionate practices while acknowledging our past cultural differences.
