HOUSTON, TEXAS - JULY 18: A dog is kept in a cage at the Harris County Pets animal shelter on July 18, 2022 in Houston, Texas. The shelter has reported being over-capacity and under staffed as a steady increase of animal returns and rescues overwhelms the facility. "This facility comfortably holds approximately 250-275 dogs, but as of this morning we had about 380 dogs in here...We have limited staffing resources and we want to maintain humane conditions, so that's why its important for us to find a positive outcome for this overcrowding," says Education and Outreach Manager Shannon Parker.

TASIKMALAYA, WEST JAVA, INDONESIA - AUGUST 16: A chained dog barking while being trained by a trainer, Ade Jonas on August 16, 2019 in Tasikmalaya, West Java province, Indonesia. In the remote parts of Indonesia’s West Java province, hunting dogs are released into a bamboo-walled arena to fight against wild boars as a way to preserve a tradition of hunting in the area and test the agility of the dogs. Also known as 'adu bagong' (boar fighting), the popular sport takes place in illegal pits despite campaigns by animal rights activists to stop the practice. Dog owners pay between 600,000 to 2 million rupiah (40USD to 150USD) to enter the fights, depending on the size of their dog, and can receive up to 20 million rupiah (1,500USD) for the winning dog. The spectacle began in the 1960s when the number wild pig soared in West Java soared and takes place in a 15-by-30 metre arena surrounded by a bamboo fence as the fights ends only when one of the animals is injured. Locally known as 'Terkams or Pitkams’, the hunting dogs are usually a mix of bull terrier or pit bull, and bred by enthusiasts who have defended the practice, as the traditional sport also provide dog owners a source of income.
