On Saturday, villagers from western Kenya town of Khayega held a bull fighting contest between, a 410kg black bull they named Obama and a black and white 460kg bull they named Mitt Romney. Both are cattle breeds indigenous to Kenya.

The traditional bullfights go back generations and are a matter of pride and prestige for the bull-owners, taking place each weekend and featuring two highly-prized bulls from different villages fighting each other until one flees in defeat, after having been fed a secret herbal concoction during the preceding day which often includes marijuana, known locally as bhang.
