Only in Japan? Perhaps. The Japanese Bug Fights website promotes real bug fights, with combatants such as scorpions, spiders, mantis and giant beetles. The rules are simple: only two bugs must be engaged in the fight. External weapons are not allowed and the fight lasts till one of opponents dies. Hmmm. Read more

There is nothing cool/artistic about dying baby chicks and shipping them off to die in the “care” of dumb asses across the world. It’s bad enough to see or hear of colored chicks being sold at Easter time, but now we have to see this abuse on your site too? Why are you promoting this cruelty? Lost At E Minor is too good for this crap.
