Heard from a friend yesterday talking about illegal dog fight in USA.. decided to blog about it..
Since the acient Roman times, dog has been used as an entertainment tools to fight against other animals (eg bulls, bear, etc). It was introduced to America in 1817 and dog fight became part of American culture. It was until 1976, dog fight became illegal in all America states.
The dogs are trained against one another and against older, more experienced dogs. In the early stages of training, the dogs are incited to lunge at each other without touching and engage in quick, controlled fights called “rolls” or “bumps.” Once the dogs appear match ready, they are pitted against stronger dogs to test their “gameness”or tenacity in the face of exhaustion and impending defeat. If the dogs pass the test, they are deemed ready to fight.

Oh.. lastly.. in dog fights, dogs are not the only victims.. many small animals like cats, rabbit were used as baits to training and incite the dog to fight..
