[not verified in body] Well-known illegal sports, such as cockfighting and dogfighting, are barred on the basis of animal abuse.
Illegal sports are controversial due to the dangerous aspects attributed to them and the pain they can inflict on humans or animals.
Both sides employed fighting dogs, and out of their wartime use grew a sport, which achieved great popularity, particular in Britain and later the United States.
The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals focuses heavily on the issue of dog fighting.
There is a “street” level, which means that the dogfights are informal because strict rules and regulations are absent from the matches.
The sport is illegal in almost all cities, because the jumpers seriously risk sustaining injuries, or causing problems for pedestrians or motorists when they land.
Two BASE jumpers were arrested in St. Petersburg, Russia after jumping off of the Cathedral of the Apostles St. Peter and St. Paul in November 2011.
