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.
