Abstract
Aim of this paper is to summarize historical process of dog fighting which happens almost all over the World. The history of dog fighting reaches to ancient Roman and Chinese civilizations. Historians showed that large-scale human migration, development of trade, and gifts between royal courts of valuable fighting dogs facilitated the spread of fighting dog breeds. Accounts of dog fighting in China date back to 240 A.D.Dog fighting can also be traced back to the Roman Empire. The Etruscan wall paintings dated about 5 th century BC show scenes of bloody competition between human and dogs. Moreover floor mosaics from Libya celebrate the Roman arena slaughters with scenes of humans and dogs working together to spill the blood of a wide variety of other animals such as horses, antelope and wild boar. Romans bred and exported fighting dogs to Spain, France and other parts of Europe until eventually these dogs made their way back to England. A Staffordshire bull terrier was brought to North America and dog fighting became part of North America culture in 1817. Dog fighting had begun to flourish after bull and bear-baiting became illegal in the 1830s.
