Is dog fighting legal in any of the fifty states?

• A. Yes
• B. No
• C. Depends on the state
• D. Only with license

Answer: (B)

The central idea is that dog fighting is illegal across the United States. Federal law under the Animal Welfare Act prohibits dogfighting ventures, as well as sponsoring, exhibiting, or training dogs for fighting, and it makes attending such events illegal. In addition, every state has its own laws that criminalize dogfighting and related activities. Because of these laws, there isn’t a state where dog fighting is legal, even with a license or under certain conditions.

So the correct takeaway is that dog fighting is not legal anywhere in the country. The other options imply some state permission or general legality, which doesn’t apply here.
