Sind had a constant flow of nomadic wanderers known as kaheri fakirs. Long haired and scary looking these characters reared various types of animals like bears, wild boar, dogs, monkeys, donkeys, etc. After due training, these pets became a source of income for these wanderers who used to engage and pit their animals in fights.

The fights were not balanced in nature and that in itself made the proceedings quite entertaining. For instance sometimes a dog and a monkey were pitted against each other. The jaws and physical might of a dog were pitted against the agility and sharp teeth of a monkey. These fights were more a fights of skills than might. Sometimes a wild boar was tied to a center post with little rope as a leeway and two or three dogs were pitted against him. A matter of survival for both breeds the dogs were considered more at a disadvantage due to the fact that the boar had sharp protruding teeth and was powerful in strength whereas the dogs were faster, agile but at a loss for striking at the boar. Another example was engaging a wild bear in a fight with a domestic breed such as donkey. The donkey when finding himself in a desperate situation was sometimes known to have humbled wild beasts with their hooves which are quite dangerous if they find their mark, all the more easier when pitted against a slow moving bear. Akin to bird fights bets were placed on these animals.
