What types of people are involved in dogfighting?
Just as dogfighting cuts across many regions of the country, participants and spectators at dogfights are a diverse group. While some might typify dogfighting as a symptom of urban decay, not every dogfighter is economically disadvantaged. There are people who promote or participate in dogfighting from every community and background. Audiences contain lawyers, judges, and teachers and other upstanding community leaders drawn in by the excitement and thrill of the fight.
