Under State Code 3.2-6571, which activities are prohibited?

• A. Promote, prepare for, engage in, or be employed in the fighting of animals for amusement
• B. Attend an exhibition of the fighting of animals
• C. Authorize or allow any person to undertake any act described in this section
• D. All of the above

Answer: (D)

State Code 3.2-6571 covers the full range of activities that support or participate in animal fighting, not just the actual fighting itself. It makes it illegal to promote, prepare for, engage in, or be employed in the fighting of animals for amusement, so anyone involved in making the fights happen or profiting from them is committing a violation. It also bans attending an exhibition of animal fighting, because spectator support helps sustain and legitimize the activity. Additionally, it prohibits authorizing or allowing anyone to undertake any act described in the section, which stops people from facilitating or enabling others to participate. Since every listed action falls under the prohibition, all of the above are prohibited under this statute.
