what about the rights of the fish ?

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

not fighting ants but fighting stag beetles!

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!
