Kangaroo Boxing. Picture №102 [💰↻85%]

in #sbdgiveaway8 years ago

This is a picture of a kangaroo boxer in Paris, France from 1932. Kangaroo boxing first came into popularity in 1891 in both Australia and the United States at the same time. The sport came about due to kangaroos’ natural posture of already looking like boxers. Over the years, it became a trend that was featured at carnivals, theatres, and exhibitions in Australia, the U.S., England, Germany, and France. Eventually, the trend died out as it was dangerous to humans and cruel to the animals. For obvious reasons, kangaroo boxing is no longer a trendy way to exercise and since most people hit a punching bag or another person, and not a kangaroo.
