12. Dog Fighting
This next one is heartbreaking, since dogs are normally some of the most loving creatures on this planet. Similar to cockfighting, ancient people were known to pit dogs against one another. There is evidence that the pastime has roots in ancient Rome and China. Mostly, this is a means of gambling to see which of the two dogs will end up alive in their fight to the death.
Thankfully, it has been outlawed in most developed countries. However, there are still underground fighting rings that still exist. Dog fighting is usually linked with gambling, drugs, and other illegal activities. It’s not often that the sport happens merely for amusement. There is usually some kind of financial gain for the humans involved.
