A gambler bets a stack of cash on one dog. |
The first round lasts for nearly 20 minutes and finishes by breaking up both digs with the use of a crowbar. Both dogs are severely hurt, Paoer more badly with several bleeding holes across his belly and legs. During the break, two dogs are cleaned up - their blood reddening the blanket. One hour and three rounds later, Paul claims victory while Paoer, soaked in blood, is left with serious injuries to the head and belly.
Rules
Rules are laid down for the gambling games.
The first rule is to choose a fighting dog. People are more likely to select the American pitbull terrier over any other breed since they are physically strong and usually act docilely, but are fierce when coming across its kindred. They can keep on tussling for two hours.
The next rule is to pair opponents and arrange the fight. "To demonstrate the equality, we require for two opponents with the same gender. And we classify them into various catalogues based on their weight," said He Jun, owner of the arena as well as the dog market. "Sometimes only 0.05 kilogram can make a huge difference since the lighter may be bitten to death due to the lack of physical strength," explained He. Once the time is set and the deposit has been paid, the fighter has to attend the fight without any other option, because the deposit of the absent side will be eaten up by his opponent.
There is a line across the arena. The judge will count from one to twenty when one side declines to fight and then bring it to one corner. If the dog still refuses to launch an attack, it will be declared the loser. Otherwise, it can only end the game by being bitten to death.
