    Can you imagine how close together the punters would need to be for fish fighting?!? Cluster-fish, for sure!

     

    Could set up a videolink to make it safer. Amazing how many gambling addicts there are.

     

    Actually, not fighting ants but fighting stag beetles!

    what about the rights of the fish ?

    did they consent to participate or were they forced to engage in aggressive activities ?

    well done to stop this disgraceful exploration of living beings!

    Yes indeed, where I used to live in the mountains of Lanna, this was very popular among the locals with lots of money being gambled. You could buy stag beetles from stalls alongside many local roads!
