The title of this work The Cruelest sport leads to the questions: Why is it the cruelest sport? Is it because of the physical injuries? Or is it because of the corruption? Oates argues that because the ultimate goal of boxing is to injury someone, it is a barbaric sport. Boxing is the only sport where two men climb into a ring and fight each other like animals. Boxing is harmful because of the injuries, wounds, and deaths that occur during every fight. Victory is usually when one of the fighters is knocked out.

In “Bringing Rico to the Ring,” Matthew Heger describes how dog fighting first began and which dogs and bloodlines were used.

Pitbulls in past years have been getting a lot of attention in national media, for being an aggressive and dangerous type of dog. In cities nationwide governments have been putting bans on the breeding and keeping of pit bulls in homes. However, before the era of dogfighting, pit bulls were nicknamed “America’s Dog” (Pisani), and the reason for this is because they were popular in pop culture up until they were bred and trained for dogfights. Since the 1980’s pit bulls have gotten a bad rap, but they really should not have, because it is they way they are trained and cared for by their owners and not in their genes to act aggressively.

Hook: Two birds going head to head after hard, excruciating training and money being put down to see who would win a battle between two of the strongest roosters. Seems like it's pointless to train a rooster to fight but when there’s tons of money involved, why not try it out?

The origins of bullfighting can be traced back to prehistoric times. The Greeks sacrificed bulls for religious reasons, but in its earliest forms, bullfighting did not even involve humans. The bull was often put into a small enclosure with another predatory animal, such as a tiger or lion, and the beasts fought to the death.

What is the origin of bullfighting in Spain? According to Martin Seufert's book La Corrida de Toros The Tradition of Bullfighting in Spain, there are "several" hypotheses that attempt to explain how bullfighting began in Spain.
