SOUNDBITE (English), Olalekan Ogunlaja, ram farmer: “Training of rams is just like boxing. If you can fight, you can fight. If you cannot fight, you cannot fight. It's just a natural something. But if you detect that your ram has the ability to fight, because before we purchase the ram at the market, we do see the physique that this one is a ram that can fight. But after we get them, you bring them home. We just try to do some other little trainings to them, like padding them, sparring them and taking them for road work. After doing that, you can now take them for a challenge.” 18. Mid of Olalekan sparring with his ram 19. Mid of two of Olalekan’s rams locking horns 20. SOUNDBITE (English) Olalekan Ogunlaja, ram farmer: “A lot of people complain that ram fighting is animal cruelty, but to us we do have our own rules, if we are doing our competition and there's any blood dropped or any bloodshed, we do stop the competition. So, we don't have anything like that… and in boxing, there’s fighting and people don't complain about that boxing, but animals, our own ram, if there's any blood during their own competition, we stop the fights.” 21.
