You must have been educated myopically. Jack London wrote about dogfighting in Alaska over 100 years ago. It was in a fiction book, “White Fang”, that most snowflakes have never heard of. I never heard of Alaska as a part of the South. There are dogfighting rings in California and the Midwest too.
Dude
I am 81 years old
I was reading about Jack London probably before you were born
And I also saw a re release of the Movie Call of the wild before you were born
