Villagers watch sheep fighting each other to annual sheep fighting festival in. The people and farmers round up their finest fighting sheep and gathered among friends to cheer on the creatures as they violently rammed into each other until their horns fell off. The “Small-Tail Han Sheep” known for their head-butting abilities, battled it out in front of hundreds of onlookers who were able to distinguish the animals by their drawn-on marks. The sheep were then divided according to age and weight in the single-elimination match. (Photo by Zubair Abbasi/Pacific Press)
