Explanation: A general term is needed, i.e., one that covers fights with dogs, cocks etc. Admittedly, 'animal fighting shows' or 'fighting animal shows' may not sound all that common or natural, but I'm not so sure how else it could be said if we include the word 'shows,' at least without also including words like 'wild' or 'beast,' neither of which would seem to apply in the context of domesticated animals. Another option, which is probably the best option, might be "competitive animal fights." veterinarynews.dvm360.com › node Federal wildlife penning ban proposed - Veterinary news - dvm360 Rush Holt (D-N.J.) introduced the bill to combat the practice of "wildlife penning," where wild animals are placed in pens with dogs for **competitive animal fights.** www.change.org › ms-michelle-striffer-we-demand...

Following Andy's comments, maybe something along the lines of, 'gruesome spectacles, [the legacy of ]...' is what the author is after. (?)

And if this is, indeed, the case, then other adjectives, including a few proposed by both Juan and José (in his agree) would work just fine. That said, I'm still leaning towards 'competitive animal fighting/fights,' as I believe the author may be trying to underscore his point with a more generic, all-encompassing condemnation, following two (only) slightly more specific examples.
