We've all heard of dog fights, chicken fights, and cat fights (no not the ones you see in Mean Girls). The forced fighting between animals in which the vicious owners throw two trained animals into a ring and watch and cheer as they kill each other. The last animals standing "wins". The quotation marks around the word "wins" are just for effect. Yes, technically this animal won the fight but they will most likely die as well due to injuries acquired while fighting. The owner collects his money from all the other sick bastard that get off to watching innocent animals kill each other and goes on his merry way.
But often times what we don't think of is the animal cruelty that goes on behind the scenes. Those fighting animals have to be mad angry somehow...they aren't just born wanting to fight. The owners often use abuse and neglect to harden the animal up. Only feeding it meat and steroids to build its body and kicking and hitting it when it doesn't do what the owner wants it to do. But even scarier is the thought that all this could be happening right under our noses and that we may actually be paying for it to happen. "HOW?!?", you may ask. Well, let me just show you.

This is happening in our circus' and petting zoos and we pay for it to continue. It's never going to stop unless we stop supporting it...knowingly and unknowingly.
