Earthquakes.
It was when I was seven. I was sleeping blissfully when suddenly an earthquake started to up rise. Confused, stressed, and half awake, cautiously continuing to sit up, then pushing my mother back and forth weakly. Her eyes opened slowly then after one look around she instantly became aware of what was happening. I had no clue what was going on but my mother sure did, and she didn't waste any time. She aggressively grabbed me by the arm and pulled me off the bed with her, then proceeded to run to each room to push every child out of the place that put them in a deep slumber. At this point my heart was beating as if I had been pushed out of a plane, and into the sky. Nothing was holding it back. We all rushed outside, and waited for it to stop, while hearing the awful sounds of belongings stumbling to the ground, crash, smash, swoosh. Then after all that time, my family and I were relieved. It was over.

Dog fighting
CALL OF THE WILD RESEARCH.
Dog fighting/gambling
Dog fighting is an inhumane blood sport where dogs who have been bred, conditioned and trained to fight are placed in a pit to fight each other for spectator entertainment and profit. Fights average one to two hours, ending when one of the dogs cannot continue. There are many reasons people are drawn to dog fighting. The most basic is greed. Major dogfight raids have resulted in seizures of more than $500,000, and it is not unusual for $20,000 - $30,000 to change hands in a single fight. They are underfed and under-loved, because there are people who breed dogs just to kill them. 16,000 dogs die each year in organised dog fighting. “The biggest dog fighter in the world lives in your state.” One of those fighters, Mt. Olive's Harry Hargrove is a “legend” in the dog-fighting world, for instance, who has bred, trained and fought dogs for 40 years.
