In the past in my country dog fight was popular but if you are caught doing it you go straight to prison and for a long time.The same applies for cock fighting too and any other animal related violence.
I may be wrong, but from my point of view it is a bit hypocritical when people eat meat, wear leather clothes, go to circuses where, it's a fact, tamers torture animals, with their kids, and at the same time oppose dog fighting, corrida, cock fighting and such. I think that person must be consistent in his/her actions. You either go vegan or stfu.
But even vegans are hypocrites, if you ask me. But that is entirely different topic.
