Fighting Animals in Tourism
Original language description
This chapter deals with animal fighting in tourism. First the scope of animal fighting in tourism is discussed. This section introduces concepts such as cultural omnivorousness and cultural tourism in postmodern consumer-centred societies dominated by sensation seeking. The text goes on to discuss the issue of collision between the two cultural patterns and of differing norms and values between the tourist and the local population. Ethical considerations of animal use in tourism are also considered. In addition to the theoretical literature conceptualizing animals in tourism, case studies dealing with specific instances of animal fighting in different parts of the world are presented. The second part of the text deals with the question of why animal fighting is attractive to people. Biological, neurological, sociological and psychological approaches to explaining aggression and voyeuristic fascination in humans are presented. The third part of the text presents a classification of human-initiated animal fights, focusing on dogfighting, bullfighting, animal-baiting, cockfighting, horse fighting, camel wrestling and orangutan boxing. The last part of the chapter looks at what could be done to improve the situation of animals that are abused, objectified and commodified by the interests of the tourism industry.
