Is hunting legal?
Are gladiator spectacles legal?

Animal fights are legal in Auzkhia, although bull fights are not common
still cock fighting and dog fighting are relatively common.
hunting and fishing are perfectly legal and we have no good reason to ban it.
Gladiator like spectacles are common, we have bending matches or other gladiator like games however a participant can not be killed (unless you are in a legal duel)

Certainly, though it is regulated

Is hunting legal?
Of course, though general hunting of Dinosaurs and Pterosaurs is banned primarily for cultural reasons. The hunting of Marine Reptiles is illegal simply because it's way too fucking dangerous. Of course, the hunting of a specific animal (Mammalian species are primarily the ones allowed to be hunted) is arranged into hunting seasons, held at different times of the year annually. This is to ensure the populations of these species remains stable.

Are gladiator spectacles legal?
Yes, gladiator fights are all-voluntary affairs where the courageous participate in fights to the death against sapient and beast alike. It is a great way to appease the literally bloodthirsty War God Walkeris.

No.

Is hunting legal?
Yes. However, hunting with guns is only legal in strictly regulated situations, like hunting with the militia, hunting for dangerous animals which are a menace to the community, or hunting animals whose populations have grown too large.

Most hunting is done either bare-handed or with spears and bows. Because if you cannot kill a wooly-mammoth without resorting to fire-arms, then there is something wrong with you.

Are gladiator spectacles legal?
Yes, but only as a government monopoly. We haven't had one in ages, and we usually force POWs or other enemies to participate when we do have them.

Are animal fights legal in your nation?
Widely legal in the pits that are dedicated to them, and are a common occurrence. We pit pretty much every mammalian animal you can find under the sun against another one, and smile in grim manners as we watch them rip eachother to shreds. It fills us with joy.

Is hunting legal?
Widely legal once more, completely nationwide for any animal, except for Reptillian creatures, especially ones of Draconic nature. Hunting for mammals has been made a sport, actually. Dragonkinians all over Ruskarkand participate, some using artificial weapons like guns and knives, whilst others take more direct approaches and use their inhumane tools that were given to them at birth, such as their mass, their claws and talons, their teeth and their fire. We love it, and it makes for great competition!

Are gladiator spectacles legal?
Once more, widely legal in the arenas dedicated to them. We don't pit Draconic races of Reptillian races against anything, but rather just mammals (Particularly, Human Prisoners). We watch them fight eachother over who gets a piece of meat to feed their malnourished bodies, for example. It's such bloody fun, and it puts a grim smile on most of our scaled, toothy faces!

Are animal fights legal in your nation?

No. Our animals tend to be more intelligent that in the rest of the world, almost sapient, thus they are protected from such activities, even with our extremely libertarian policies. Though, if animals are capable of giving clear consent and do give it, it may be legal. But it never happens.

Is hunting legal?

Yes, against clearly non-sapient species, but it never happens, both due to cultural, religious reasons and our predominantly herbivore population's disinterest in game.

Are gladiator spectacles legal?

Actually? Yes, as long as due consent is given by both sides, fully acknowledging the possible lethal outcome, and no coercion takes place. But it never happens; when someone wants to watch some violent sport they tune in to jousting matches, which are almost as exciting but usually include safeguards against lethal outcomes.

No, as our religious empire restricts the cruelty of animals due to it's religion.

Hunting is legal, but hunting for sport is discouraged but legal and somewhat popular.
Are gladiator spectacles legal?
Indeed, gladiator spectacles are legal. One may either volunteer for it, or be sent as a high-level criminal to fight animals in our colosseums across the nation.

Some are.

Yes.

Are gladiator spectacles legal?

Yes, But it is a volunteer sport for the fittest people, and they have to be payed loads of money, and even more if they win.
They are played out on small island south of Ragnarum.
Types of gladiatorial fights include ...

Indoor Offensive - Large building. Last man standing.
Hunt - One team is in a wood with semi automatic rifles and gillie suits, the other team gets fully auto assault rifles.
Hostage - 3 hostages protected by one team, the other team has to help them escape to their bases with at least 2 of them, the people who play the hostages are usually convicted terrorists (irony)

Nope. Not at all. Thespinia loves it's furry little friends.

Is hunting legal?
Not for sport, but small scale hunting for nutrition is permitted, so long as the animal in question dies quickly and as much of it's carcass is used as possible, including skin for fur.

Are gladiator spectacles legal?
AWWWW HELLL YEAH! Gladiators are massivley popular in Thespinia, despite the fact that deaths are quite rare! More often than not said fights will be a one off between two amatuers to settle a matter of honour, although the proffesional league is watched by nearly every Thespinian. Of course, the fights follow the Thespinian Code of Honour, but they can still get very violent. The winner of the proffesional league is often given the title of Royal Champion.
Jousting is also popular in Thespinia, and it has it's own proffesional league, although it is much older than the Gladiators. Generally the combatants fight in thier own coat of arms or their House's, and it's not uncommon to see them bear some token on a lady on thier armour or lance. Jousting is still seen as an incredibly romantic sport, and the overall winner of the Royal Tourney is crowned Royal Champion of Horse.

No these types of events are illegal.

Is hunting legal?

Yes but only for certain animals each with their own hnting seasons and the system is well regulated.

Are gladiator spectacles legal?

No such public event is legal. Instead citizens are allowed to duel, only if one party has been proved to have done some kind of harm to the other. This is usually done at a trail, and when the first party is charged they can be challenged to a duel by the victim. If the first partly accepts, they duel in private courtyards suppervised by a judge (checks for any cheat, fairplay, ect) and a medical staff. The two parties then duel by sword, till one is defeated (not nessesarily killed but disarmed). If the victum wins, usually killing the other party, they have resored their sense of honor and personnal justice. Should the first party win, depending on their crime (if this is a civil matter) they are free to go. If they were charged with a criminal offence, the fact that they agreed to duel can earn then prision time being shaved off.

Are animal fights legal in your nation?
Following a legislation against animal cruelty for food purposes, animal fights are illegal but still occur in underground fight clubs.
Is hunting legal?
Recreational hunting is allowed, but you must hold a hunter's license and can only collect one 'trophy' every month. Hunting for food is frowned upon, as is meat-eating in general, but isn't illegal. Many protests are held each year in front of hunting lodges, often leading to violent actions from both the demonstrators and hunters.
Are gladiator spectacles legal?
Maisimism, the only formally recognised religion in Caspureos, is henotheistic and focuses around Maisim, Goddess of Destruction. Due to this, gladiatorial sports of the Roman kind are disallowed but extremely violent destruction derbies et cetera are legal and very popular amongst Capureosians. In tournaments, professionals often attach weaponry to their vehicles such as rocket launchers. This, however, is considered cheating and the cheaters are immediately exiled into the freezing wilderness.

The Namorese government strictly bans public blood fighting between sapient creatures, and bans anything that advocates the legalization of blood fighting. Gladiatorial fights are also banned, and anyone caught supervising gladiatorial fights can be sentenced to death.

No. Any sort of animal cruelty for public is illegal, as are circuses with wild animals.
Hunting though is allowed, and for some times even, necissary. Hunting is though limited to the Kart forests and the forests of Groca.
Gladiator spectacles are far more inhumane, and seriously illegal. However, rumour has it there is quite the illegal circuit.

Animal Fights: Fights between Animals and other Animals or Animals and Men are and always have been illegal. They are seen as an affront to both Nature and to God.

Hunting: Hunting is legal under certain conditions. Citizens cannot hunt endangered animals or nationally protected animals, and they may only hunt up to a set number. Any more and they will be fined and jailed for a minimum of 8 years.

Gladiator spectacles: Gladiator spectacles are completely legal, in fact they are events often enjoyed by much of the population. The gladiators often don weapons and armour of ancient Sathera to invoke senses of patriotism in the crowds. The only rules of the battles are that Gladiators must be volunteers, and that the Gladiators cannot kill each other unless they both give a verbal and written consent to the fact that they are aware of the mortal danger. Gladiators who kill when they are not in a battle to the death are immediately shot and killed by the many Imperial guards who stand watch during the spectacles.
