And……. a LEGAL "SPORT" in today’s Japan as well.
It has occurred to me that some flickr users might be "put off" by my occasional disdain and mockery of the various religions of Japan, both old and new. Some ardent Japanophiles might be especially offended at the very thought that someone as arrogant and smug as Okinawa_Soba would DARE to make any kind of negative remarks about ANY of the age-old institutions of Honorable Japan.
Well, they are right. I REPENT. And to show my repentance, I now post four beautiful views of DOG FIGHTING in JAPAN.
As everyone knows, all civilized nations love this sport, and in the USA especially, it has been given a lot of recent attention by the media. Apparently, even some of the rich and famous in the USA can’t get enough of it !
"………….In the U.S., dog fighting is considered a felony in every state except Wyoming and Idaho. Despite that fact, according to The Humane Society, it’s estimated that somewhere between 20,000-40,000 people in this country take part in this multi-billion-dollar industry…….."

But for now, forget the USA.

Say hello to the famous TOSA fighting dogs of Japan.
They look friendly enough. Would you like to have one ?
LEGAL ISSUES
"…………..Ownership of Tosas is legally restricted in certain jurisdictions. In the United Kingdom ownership is regulated under the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991. A specific exemption of a British court is required to own and import Tosas legally in the UK (see article on the act for details). Some insurance companies will not insure homes with dog breeds deemed dangerous.
The Australian Customs Service prohibits the import of Tosas, along with other dog breeds considered dangerous, into Australia [2].
The Tosa is one of 11 breeds of dog recently banned by the Dublin City Council from their properties, including council houses, flats and estates[3].
The New Zealand government banned the import of Tosas claiming that they are dogs specifically bred for fighting. It was to be a step towards combating the increasing number of dog attacks on humans, especially children……"

TODAY, DOG FIGHTING IN JAPAN IS ONLY BANNED IN THE CITY OF TOKYO. OUTSIDE OF TOKYO, THE REST OF 21st CENTURY JAPAN IS MORE THAN HAPPY TO HAVE YOU BRING YOUR POODLE TO WATCH THE NEXT MATCH AGAINST ONE OF THESE DOGS.
