Dogfights in Kabul

 

A panoramic New York Times photo of a Kabul dogfighting arena believed to be the largest in Afghanistan, published on December 8, 2007, showed 367 spectators, 30 dog handlers, and 12 dogs. Kabul is a city of four million people. If 25% of Kabul dogfighting fans were present, participation could be estimated as about four people per 1,000, or 0.4% of the human population.
