There are many other ways how animals are suffering. Blood sport is one of them. Animals are made to fight with each other or a human (sometimes even to their death). People take this an ‘entertainment’ and bet on the fighters.
And there are many more. There are videos of dogs being forced to fight with a leopard. Horse racing and dog racing doesn’t seem to be bad until we come to find what’s happening to the animals involved in this sport. Horses begin training or are already racing when their skeletal systems are still growing and are unprepared to handle the pressures of running on a hard track at high speeds.
‘’There are trainers pumping horses full of illegal drugs every day,” says a former Churchill Downs public relations director. “With so much money on the line, people will do anything to make their horses run faster.”
Improved medical treatment and technological advancements have done little to remedy the plight of the racehorse. One study on injuries at racetracks concluded that one horse in every 22 races suffered an injury that prevented him or her from finishing a race, while another estimates that 800 thoroughbreds die each year in North America because of injuries. There is still a multimillion-dollar horsemeat export industry that sends tens of thousands of horses every year to Canada, Mexico, and Japan for slaughter. One Colorado State University study found that of 1,348 horses sent to slaughter, 58 were known to be former racehorses.

Hunting is obviously known to everyone. Hunters give an excuse to carry out this ‘sport’ by saying they’re helping to balance the eco-system but nature can do that itself.
Why Sport Hunting Is Cruel and Unnecessary
Sacrificing an animal in the name of gods and goddesses is not a way of washing out your sins. Do people expect a god to be happy when he sees aomebody killing another leaving creature and spraying his statue with that hot, sticky blood?
Isn't killing a sin, itself? So how does 'sacrificing' an animal give blessings or whatever the myth is!
