blood sports  

Définition

  • Blood sports is a generic term applied to any sporting activity that involves the suffering or killing of animals or people, such as bull fighting and fox hunting. In particular, hunting provides us with a useful illustration of the contextual nature of ‘blood sports’. For instance, a simple distinction is often drawn between hunting for subsistence and hunting for pleasure; however, throughout history, hunting has been an activity that has often been associated with ceremony and activities that go beyond the gathering of food alone.
