TOPSHOTS Afghan men watch Kowk Jangi (partridge fighting) in Ghazni province on April 14, 2014. The Kowk is a fighting partridge, prized by their owners who lavish great care on them, and keep them in domed wicker cages. The owners fight the partridges in short bouts of strength, as the birds are too valuable to allow them to be seriously harmed, with spectators gambling on the result. The final winner is declared by referees if the other Kowk keeps on retreating, when the owner admits defeat, or when the bird dies, which happens rarely. AFP PHOTO/RAHMATULLAH ALIZADAH
