The participation of animals in sport may directly or indirectly involve people and are a specific form of working animal s. Many animals, at least in more commercial sports, are highly trained . Two of the most common animals in sport are horse s and dog s.
Some organisations are dedicated to prevent cruelty to animals, with supporters claiming that the use of animals in sporting events can be distressing for them. This is particularly relevant to blood sport s involving animals.
Types of animal sporting events
There are many types of animal sporting events, with varying levels of participation from humans – some are solely between the animals while others use the animals in a lesser role. Most sports involve training, while some can also involve
selective breeding .
