Some trace it back to the Romans and their fighting dogs against various oponents. Others trace it to bear baiting where dogs were pitted against other animals like bears. When that became illegal the English started them fighting other dogs. Whatever it’s origins it is horrific.

Shakespeare mentioned bear baiting in, Merry Wives of Windsor.

Thanks, but I really want to know what current “culture” proclaims “dog fights” as normal.

Pardon my ignorance, but as I stated previously, none of my mixed race/ethnic group of ancestors claim dog fights to be a “sport”.
At least not enough to filter down to my generation.

So, where does this kind of crap come from?

Any sport pitting animals fighting to rip each other up comes from the natural wicked heart of mankind.
