Dog fights over the weekend in Afghanistan

Dog fighting is a form of blood sport in which game dogs are made to fight, sometimes to the death. It is illegal in most developed countries. In Afghanistan, dog fighting is held in vacant lots and though betting is done, matches are stopped as soon as one dog shows absolute domination. Dog fighting was banned during the Taliban regime. – Photos by AFP
